I have a tendency to leave it lowercased unless I'm thinking about it and was pondering this as I TRY to write my DS.

You can do both when you mean African-american. As of late, I think the more accepted style is lowercase, though.
You aren't wrong either way though.

Yeah, I generally prefer lowercased but wasn't sure if one's considered grammatically correct. Thanks!

Lmao! As soon as I typed that I realized I had made an assumption and was going to be wrong with my luck.

My apologies!

doesn't matter if you use uppercase or lowercase, it just has to be consistent through your application. That also goes for mentioning any other ethnic backgrounds if you capitalize Black you better capitalize Hispanic and White.
