Blackie
Common pet name
Blackie is a common name for black-colored animals, especially dogs and cats: We had a Lab named Blackie when I was growing up.
As a term for a Black person, it is offensive—a dismissive reduction of identity to skin color.
The capitalized form typically indicates a proper name rather than the slur.
