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.

Is black mans pinch offensive?

There are many terms that originated from back-woods notions, and to some these are colorful reflections of our past and should be preserved as part of our culture. But to a lot of people this is their chance to get attention by claiming to be offended, so even though we are all created equal as human beings, these individuals will further the false idea that there are different races by claiming to be a black man and claiming that the term "black man's pinch" is a derogatory and racially offensive terminology. The best thing to do is to stop using the terminology and let culture die. If a man wants to claim that he is a black man just because he has more brown pigment in his skin than who he calls a white man, then he is just looking for an excuse to be offended. You don't see people with green eyes picking fights with people with blue eyes. Just turn the other cheek and ignore these violent natured individuals. If a "mans pinch" is black, and if a bruise is black and blue, where are the blue men to be offended? The offense comes at the ignorance and false belief that there is such a thing as a black man. But as I was taught, if someone claims offense, then I must apologize for offending them. For this reason, Trent Lott apologized even though he meant no wrong. Did those who claimed offense accept his apology and forgive as is the Christian thing to do? No, the blood-thirsty evil creatures who cannot possibly be human did not. So while the term "black mans pinch" is not meant to be offensive, there are individual sociopaths out there that will take advantage of kind Christians by claiming they are offended by it.
