The 1997 version of the IAT (the test you're talking about) actually used names associated with Black and White American people.
Interestingly enough, there was one paper that concluded that some of the responses to the test was driven by the prior associations between the colours themselves, rather than the racial part.

Why would you do that? I can wear a black shirt without "badness" being implied.
You can justify pretty much anything with that reasoning. If you follow through with that, you'd have to ban the words "black" and "white" from the language completely, except in a racial context.
> There was an online test floating around that measured your response rate to a white face or a black face and those results were eye-opening.
This investigation was about seeing faces, not hearing words though.
