^EXACTLY
in many parts of obsoleta's range, they are refered to as just a black snake. However, also living within parts of this range are Black Racers. the majority of people do not know nor do they care to know the difference b/t the two. All they know is that it's a snake and it's black, hence black snake. they naturally assume that the two are the same kind.
so Blacksnake = Black Ratsnake and/or Black Racer.

Well, lets look this through. We said earlier that it might be a Rat Snake, because of the head. Now that it's a "black Snake", shouldn't it make sense that it is a "Black Rat Snake"?

yes it's a Black Ratsnake. Racers look completely different than that little guy. If you do a search, i think there was someone a while back who thought they had found a miami or something, but it wasnt a corn at all, it was a baby black racer. There was a picture attatched in that thread. Search "Racer" or "Black Racer" to see it. The snake you found def looks like a Black Ratsnake to me.
