{{Short description|Practice of prohibiting people or entities}} {{Other uses|Blacklist (disambiguation)}} '''Blacklisting''' is the action of a group or authority compiling a '''blacklist''' of people, countries or other entities to be avoided or distrusted as being deemed unacceptable to those making the list; if people are on a blacklist, then they are considered to have done something wrong, or they are considered to be untrustworthy. As a verb, blacklist can mean to put an individual or entity on such a list.<ref name="Collins English Dictionary 2017">{{cite web | title=Blacklist definition and meaning | website=Collins English Dictionary | date=7 March 2017 | url=https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/blacklist | access-date=7 March 2017}}</ref> A blacklist is synonymous with a list of banned persons or organizations, and is the opposite of a whitelist.

Though the USA National Labor Relations Act of 1935 outlawed punitive blacklists against employees who supported trade unions or criticised their employers, the practice continued in common use in the USA. The Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 made amendments which sustained blacklisting by affirming the right of employers to be anti-union, and by requiring trade union leaders to make loyalty oaths which had the same effect as the Hollywood blacklist. Since then, lawsuits for unfair dismissal have led to blacklisting being covert or informal, but it remains common.<ref name="Weir2013" />

The commentary cites examples of the use of ''black'' as a shorthand for disreputable sources and other negative judgements, and ''white'' for trustworthiness and safety. The article also notes the origins of ''blacklist'' as a label for censure and punishment of workers involved in labor unions, and that early use of the term coincides with the rise of slavery in the Americas, but does not claim its etymology as referring directly to skin color. However, the authors criticize the continued use of ''blacklist'' and similar language as inappropriate and harmful due to the ubiquity of ''white'' and ''black'' as descriptors of racial groups in common parlance, arguing that this association results in use of this type of language perpetuates racism, regardless of its linguistic origin.<ref name=":02" />
Conflict around this issue often emerges in computing industries where ''whitelist'' and ''blacklist'' are prevalent (e.g. "IP whitelisting"<ref>{{Cite web|title=IP Whitelisting - Documentation|url=https://help.gooddata.com/doc/en/building-on-gooddata-platform/gooddata-architecture/ip-whitelisting#:~:text=IP%20whitelisting%20is%20a%20security,users%20can%20access%20your%20domains.|access-date=2020-10-14|website=help.gooddata.com|language=en|archive-date=2020-09-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200930073331/https://help.gooddata.com/doc/en/building-on-gooddata-platform/gooddata-architecture/ip-whitelisting#:~:text=IP%20whitelisting%20is%20a%20security,users%20can%20access%20your%20domains.|url-status=dead}}</ref>). Some companies, open-source communities, and software developers have chosen to deprecate use of ''whitelist'' and ''blacklist'' in favor of names which describe the purpose of those lists less ambiguously and are unlikely to come across to a reader as insensitive such as ''allow list'' and ''deny list''.
