I once heard a native African referred to on the news as an African-American African.

One of the major networks (CBS ?) called rioting Mohammadan Algerian yutes in France as “African-Americans.” I’m sure that was news to the yutes.

Because when Trump speaks to the Black Community he calls them Black, and African American, it has no bearing on a racist remark, it's because he thinks ‘Black and Black Community’ is American people, he doesn't draw a line like the MSM does, America is America and Blacks or African American is simply American!!!

Black People use the term, “black”.

BUT ONLY THE :

BLM/BlackPanthers/Sharpton/Jackson/LouisFarrakhan/Racist/Activists/Demagogues/Inciters, speak of ‘African Americans’. ~

Why do you suppose that is?

The Congressional Black Caucus made it ok (not that anybody needed their permission) a long time ago.

This is true. There are lots of white African Americans but they aren’t allowed to be called that. They grew up in Africa. But people who are 80% Caucasian and a little bit black, never left the US of A, are called African Americans.
