Black is often capitalized in its use to denote persons, though the lowercased formblack is still widely used by authors of all races:
Black 用於指人時經常大寫， 雖然小寫的black 仍為各個種族的作家廣泛使用：
例句：
.Together, blacks and whites can move our country beyond racism. (Whitney Moore Young, Jr.).
.團結起來，黑人和白人可以使我們的國家超越種族. （小惠特尼·摩爾·揚）。

Use of the capitalized form has the advantage of acknowledging the parallel with other ethnic groups and nationalities,such asItalian and Sioux. It can be argued thatblack is different from these other terms because it was derived from an adjective rather than from a proper name.However, a precedent exists for the capitalization of adjectives used to denote specific groups,as in theReds and the Whites (of the Russian Civil War) or the Greens (the European political party). The capitalization ofBlack does raise ancillary problems for the treatment of the term white. Orthographic evenhandedness would seem to require the use of the uppercase formWhite, but this form might be taken to imply that whites constitute a single ethnic group,an issue that is certainly debatable.On the other hand, the use of the lowercase formwhite in the same context as the uppercase form Black will obviously raise questions as to how and why the writer has distinguished between the two groups.There is no entirely happy solution to this problem.In all likelihood, uncertainty as to the mode of styling ofwhite has dissuaded many publications from adopting the capitalized form Black.

大寫字母的好處在於對於其他種族和民族平等關係的承認，如義大利人 和 蘇人。 有人可以爭辯說black 與其他詞不同， 因為他是由一個形容詞而不是專有名詞派生而成的。但是，大寫形容詞意指一組人已有前例，如Reds 和 Whites （俄國內戰中）或 Greens （歐洲政黨）。 大寫的Black 確實引起了該如何對待 White 一詞的有關問題。 正字法的公正要求使用White 的大寫形式White， 但這種形式可能被認為暗示白人組成了單獨的種族，這是會引起爭論的問題。另一方面，在有black 大寫形式White出現的相同語境中使用 White 的小寫形式white， 顯然會引起如何及為什么作者要對這兩組人區別對待的問題。這一問題尚無令人滿意的解決辦法。White 書寫方式的不確定性很可能已經使許多出版物不再採用大寫形式的 Black 參見 color
