I am so sick and tired of hearing the phrase AFRICAN-AMERICAN. you people were BORN IN THIS COUNTRY, so that makes you a BLACK AMERICAN. In order to be an african american you need to move to africa and be removed from citizenship from the US. then become a citizen of africa. then move back to the US. or be born in africa then move here.
