or even better make that a whitelist or blacklist option. There are some people who retweet way too much but others I'm perfectly happy to see them from.

- belval 4y ago> The term "blacklist" arose from "black book" almost 100 years prior. "Black book" does not appear to have any etymology or sources that support ties to race, instead coming from the 1400s referring "to a list of people who had committed crimes or fallen out of favor with leaders" and popularized by King Henry VIII's literal usage of a book bound in black.[16] Others also note the prevalence of positive and negative connotations to "white" and "black" in the bible, predating attributions to skin tone and slavery.[17] It wasn't until the 1960s Black Power movement that "Black" became a widespread word to refer to one's race as a person of color in America[18] (alternate to African-American) lending itself to the argument that the negative connotation behind "black" and "blacklist" both predate attribution to race.

- j_4 4y agoYou can already do this for retweets. First option under 3 dots on someone's profile.
- rtkwe 4y agoHuh neat thanks. Wish you could do the same for lists too. Lists are nice ways to follow people you don't always want to see but still want easy access to.
