Basically it'd be like if it was common knowledge that World War 2 ended with a horrific use of a military weapon, but only people really educated in history or military stuff would know 'yea those were nukes, dawg'.
That's my understanding at least, Black Magic is more 'common' in the sense that it's fairly known  there is a special kind of very destructive magics that was especially powerful, but White Magic has literally been buried in the forest for ages.
I think what Sounsyy's trying to get at is that it's common OOC knowledge, but exceedingly rare IC knowledge.
But even Black Magic is extremely rare. As the player character, we literally learn "the secrets of the Black".
