I don't put much thought into it because I feel those people either don't know or they are just using the wording that someone told them to use when describing blacks (african american's etc).
As long as someone isn't being blatantly disrespectful with their terms.......I really could care less.
Not sure if this answers your question tho.......

The term makes no sense, as most blacks in america cannot at all relate to Africa. I dont see the problem with "black" or "black-American"
