Though I know you're joking (and I laughed out loud!) I think you are
misunderstanding something:
Calling someone black is actually not offensive!
To repeat what has been said many times over now: It's when "black" is
associated with "bad" in a composite term like "blacklist" we should
consider being considerate of a group of people who actually have skin
of that color.
If we, hypothetically, happened to be using the term "obeselist" (for
whatever obscure historical reason) to mean "list of things to be
blocked", would you also think that was totally fine because context
is everything and nobody's saying you're worth less because you're
overweight?

Best,
Jakob
