Please don't refer to people as "blacks" and "pocs". That's racist as it boils people down to their most superficial trait. I'm being sincere.

Nothing about the term "blacklist" or the related term "blackball" have roots in racism. They idea of dark and light being evil and good is biblical and speak to a belief in an afterlife. Making something racist because it's adjacent to something else is searching for racism. I'm sure a lot of things can be racist, if you want them to be. Let's keep the stones we cast aimed in the right direction.

This assault at our language is so counter-productive. If you indeed want races to coexist cordially, spend your energy on something that actually helps their relations. You are literally making people who were not racist before to resent the other races.

In the entertainment Biz unions these days they use "call first list " get a rep for not paying talent and you go on that list.
