Is "black" a derogatory term?

I would say just call them whatever race title they want. Black is a more efficient catch all, and I've heard folks say they hate African-American because they've never been to Africa and know nothing about it. But give them whatever they prefer. But no, black definitely isn't derogatory in the US at least

That being said, I'm white, but I follow a lot of black creators and comedians and they always refer to themselves as black or members of "black culture," maybe even "POC" (people of color) but it depends on what group they're trying to reference. Black Americans share some experienced with Asian Americans but definitely not all experiences.
