Even more unlikely is that, if he did know the word, he'd known it had any association with 'blackness' and used it purposefully because of that, as some suggest above.

And a 'coach' would've said 'that word makes no sense there, it's a verb, not an adjective'.

I'll take 'auto-correct' for $1000, Alex.
