Currently no, but at one time it was. Trends for these things change over time. It used to be that "black" was considered offensive and "coloured" was considered better (hence the name of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the USA), but now coloured/colored is very old-fashioned and may be considered offensive if used by a white person.
Of course, the term "black man" might be considered somewhat offensive if used in a situation where there was no need to mention the man's colour at all.
