Bola Negra

To reject or bar someone from a social group. The term originates from elite Dominican social clubs of the late 19th and early 20th centuries that used a secret ballot to exclude people deemed lower class. If a single black ball was found in the voting bag, the candidate was denied entry.

The Dominican dictator Trujillo was given a Bola Negra by various clubs across the country because he was a career soldier, despite the fact that he held the highest positions of command at the time he applied.
