Remove the 5 Letters "BLACK" from the Dictionary and the Alphabet?

As a retired security professional I was just reading a ZDNET story: "Infosec community disagrees with changing 'black hat' term due to racial stereotyping" I am shocked that somehow the term "Black" as now used frequently to refer to a race of people, has had all other meanings and uses deemed as referring to a race and also being derogatory.

I am the last of the old-timers in my family and so am the patriarch. Thoughts?
