Guess we all better start rewriting all of the documentation out
there because some PC marketing snowflake wants to get extra
brownie points and attention for classifying a color in RGB into a
racial divide for which it never originated.
blacklists are not always deny/block/disallow and conformed
of things that allow you to take actions whatever your choosing
upon their contents and your policies.
What’s next ? redlisting ? Don’t offend the Russians ... blue
? Don’t want to offend the police ...
Leave this crap off the list, it’s not helping anyone.

The
fact that there's a highway to Hell but only a stairway to
Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume.
In kind, I'd like to encourage the use of
terms like permit/accept list or deny/block list.

Hi NANOG community,
We are a group of researchers studying the use of IP
blacklists as a mechanism to mitigate security threats
-- particularly over the IPv6 Internet. We would like
to understand if and how you use IP blacklists to
secure your networks. Please consider taking our short
survey:
