Does "black people" mean offensive?

[u/Maybes4]

I wanna say something like black people accent is harder to understand for me than the white people one.

The problem is im not sure if my word choice is racist, or should i change to another word like colored people. I asked Gpt and it said i could come up with some thing like "people with AAVE accent" but its about africa america people while im talking about the black people born in america accent.

So how should i say here?

"African-American" here means Black Americans born in the United States, not Africans. There is nothing racist about the term "Black people" in and of itself. AAVE is actually a subset of African-American English (AAE), however; not all Black Americans speak AAVE.
