Just this week I’ve noticed that “blacks” have dropped the African American label and are referring to “black people” again. How many iterations have they gone through while they try to identify who they are?? This is only one of several references to “black people” I’ve seen:

“”The Madison students also demand access to the university for black people, including former inmates.””

Negroes
Darkies
Blacks
African American and back to:
Blacks

My guess is that the "American" part is offensive to them now.
