===2021: [https://practicalesg.com/2021/09/say-this-instead-blacklist-blackball-blackmail-black-market-etc/ Say This Instead: “Blacklist,” “Blackball,” “Blackmail,” “Black market,” etc.]=== | |||
*"In a continuation of the “Say This Instead” series, let’s look at the pervasive symbolism of “white” as positive and “black” as negative in the English language. Words like “blackmail” (related to extortion), “blackball” (rejection), “blacklist” (banishment), and “black market” (illicitness) are so woven into the fabric of our language that we often don’t reflect on their racist overtones. The meaning of these phrases is always something undesirable. It perpetuates a systemic stigma caused by using the same terms that describe the color of our skin as a delineation between good and bad. Based on our use of these words, “black” is bad and “white” is good." | |||
