Why is the term "blacklist" so offensive to you? It has a history of over 400 years. I have, in the past, been put on a blacklist without my knowledge. I only found out about being on the list a couple of years later. When I did find out, I realised what it was that put me on that list and that there was no point trying to get off that list. In the end, it didn't matter, life moves on. The number of blacklists that exist in the US is huge and many will have no idea that they are on them or will ever find out why they are on them.
