the newer words make way more sense. They actually convey the concept

What makes no sense is the words “white” and “black” as referring to people. People are brown, all of them.

I remember when I tried setting up a server a couple decades ago and I didn't understand what the difference between a white and black list were. Made no sense to me.

Allow/block can't be mistaken. It's literally a better choice of words for many reasons.
