black...or american...african-american is pc...most blacks in america do not know what specific group of people they are decended from...to just utilize the label "african" does not give proper attribution to your heritage...nor does it invoke any real sense of pride...it only provides an illusion of belonging to a people we in no way truly identify with on a day to day basis beyond sharing the same skin tone in most instances...africans do not define themselves as such so why would we find pride in simply defining ourselves as "african"-american??? "i am black and i am comely..."
