You are a black American, with African roots. I added two different definitions I found. Noun * S: (n) African-American, African American, Afro-American, Black American (an American whose ancestors were born in Africa) Adjective * S: (adj) African-American, Afro-American (pertaining to or characteristic of Americans of African ancestry) "Afro-American culture"; "many black people preferred to be called African-American or Afro-American" OR African Americans or Black Americans are citizens or residents of the United States who have origins in any of the black populations of Africa. In the United States, the term is generally used for Americans with at least partial Sub-Saharan African ancestry. Most African Americans are the descendants of captive Africans who survived the slavery era within the boundaries of the present United States, although some are—or are descended from—voluntary immigrants from African.
