After reading this article and all the comments, I’m still confused. Someone, please tell me the right term to use that doesn’t offend anyone. I want to be woke too.

I’ve been using Black for many years now. Before that colored. Before that negro. All acceptable at the time. Now Black is offensive to some. People-of-color is offensive to some. To me, it seems like African-American isn’t right, because I am not referring to people like Elon Musk.
