See, that what kills me. In many questionarres and forms, they don't have just plain American or black on it. I have never been to Africa nor will I. I am just an American with really dark skin. So there's my real answer.

Being African has nothing to do with a skin color, it has to do with coming from the continent, myself and Toksin are from Africa, that makes us African.
If you really want to get petty about it, I also have American citizenship, so then I would be African American, but wait a second, I am white, how can I be?
Easily answered, I am from Africa!

Political correctness has confused the issue, if you're born in America you're American, if you're born in Africa you're African. You can't be both.

It's nothing against you Hobbes, it's just something that really irks me (especially when people have the audacity to tell me I can't be African because I am white!).
