I don't understand the term "blacklisted coin". How can be blacklisted a coin produced in the legal way? While about the bitcoin xt I have heard the opposite. The bitcoin XT is not centralized but liberalized. I'm not an expert so my word can be taken with caution but from what I have heard from a person that seems very informed is that what was happen.

It really comes down to what one plans to do with the blacklisting (I'm talking about coins, not IPs here) feature. Essentially if we have a theft of coins, they could be blacklisted to prevent them being used anywhere. However, the system could be considered corrupt at that point, because the money is not solely controlled by us (which is one of the main/fundamental points of Bitcoin).
White-listing or blacklisting would probably mean the end of Bitcoin (as we know it today).

Note: Keep in mind that blacklisting is not implemented (yet), even though Hearn was advocating it.
