I know #blacklivesmatter etc etc. But I thought we were being taught, even a decade ago, that calling all darker skin people in our society "black" is insensitive?

I don't know that it is. One of my friends told me that "Black people/person/etc" is ok (capital B) but "blacks" or "black people" is definitely not. I assume it's the difference between referring to them as a people vs a colour of people. In the same way you would say "Canadian people" and not "canadian people".
Not to say that's definitive.
