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?
