Talk:African Americans

/Re the dispute regarding whether or not the following quote should be included: /To my mind, this is a very notable (factual, morally valuable) quote that easily meets the Quotability criteria. Anutherconcerned (talk) 02:33, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
 * The failure to capitalize Black when it is synonymous with African American is a matter of unintended racism, to put the best possible face on it.
 * Robert S. Wachal, "The Capitalization of Black and Native American," American Speech, vol. 75, no. 4 (Winter 2000), pp. 364–65
 * Agree, Wachal is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Iowa who has been cited by reliable secondary sources, notable enough to be in WQ. Rupert Loup 05:37, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Robert Wachal is an obscure person who isn't even notable enough to have his own Wikipedia page. He is not notable and neither is his claim that not capitalising a b is racism --2001:8003:4085:8100:80F7:11C1:DAEB:260A 06:09, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Carney, on the other hand, is a medal of honour recipient, and the source writing about him is the official US military website --2001:8003:4085:8100:80F7:11C1:DAEB:260A 06:11, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Carney is not the author of the quote, is the subject. And the subject of this article is not Carney. Rupert Loup 06:13, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
 * the subject of this article is African Americans, Carney was one, and he was awarded the Medal of Honor --2001:8003:4085:8100:C31:7EE7:1AD9:A121 06:17, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
 * and you have no addressed what was said about Wachal. --2001:8003:4085:8100:C31:7EE7:1AD9:A121 06:30, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
