Not all African people are black, not all black people are Americans, and not all black people are from Africa. "African-American" fell out of favor for these reasons like 5-10 years ago.

because America isn't the king of the world and people from Britain made America, not the other way round. And I call them Black people just how I am called a White person. It is in no way racist.

cuz africas a continent, not a country like ireland. white people are "caucasian" but no one really says that. so the person above is absolutely right. that isn't racist.
