I spent 3 months in Morocco and I'm very aware of how "American" I am.
I respect your opinion but I guess I prefer Black because it eludes to a specific condition. Being in Africa, even though some people don't consider Morocco Africa, made me realize that one cannot homogenize the continent into a country. So I feel that by saying I'm African American I'm making Africa into a country instead of a continent with millions of distinct peoples. I hope I'm making sense...
