I am not black so I have no idea how black people consider everything negative in language that is black. If indeed most of them have no strong feelings about it it may be a waste of time trying to change such expressions. If they do care about it one could try to reduce such use from formal and official language, especially when it really hasn't anything to do with the color black - like blacklist into blocklist, and other such examples. Maybe in fantasy novels one would still be allowed to have evil wizards all dressed in black, doing powerful incantations of black magic? -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
