Do African American men get offended when labeled as "black males"?

I ask because I notice in Brooklyn where I live, it seems whenever I hear the phrase "black male" or "black males" it is often being used in a somewhat negative connotation. For example, if I hear about a high school dropout rate, police description or unemployment problem, it seems the term "black males" is used when describing the African American men who are being talked about. On the contrary, if hearing about something good done like an African American man with a good job, who is well educated, or who is a respected person, I hear African American men referred to in a way like "educated african american" or "well off black guy" but I never hear any positive descriptions with the words "black male" being used. Anyway, its just something I noticed, whenever I hear African American men referred to as "black males" it always seems to be with a negative attribute so thats why I wonder if they take offense to being called it.
