There was a big push to make “African American” the politically correct term in the late 00s, but for basically every reason you mentioned, it didn’t quite catch.
The term AAVE was coined in 1973 as a replacement for “ebonics” and it spread throughout the 80s and 90s. There’s a bunch more info about it on the wiki and I don’t think I can succinctly summarize it, but it’s an interesting read.
