The only people offended by "black people" are scared white people looking for reasons to get offended.

If you say it and an actual black person is offended, you probably used it in a sentence like "wow black people sure do like watermelon and hot sauce lol niggers"

I think this is 100% on the money. All black people I've ever known have really hated being called coloured, and prefer just being called "black" plain and simple. If it's being used as a term of abuse, or to single someone out in a malicious way, that's different. But you could say the same thing about the term "white people". or "*anything* people".
