Africa is a continent. It is divided into 54 countries.
If you want to “celebrate your experience” find your ancestors *country-of-origin* in Africa and call yourself that. African American is vague and sloppy. Kenyan American or Nigerian American, however, are specific and accurate.
Please do not negate and flatten the identity of all Black People into one politically correct term. A Bahamanian American or Haitian American has no need for the term “African American”.
Call yourself something real, not something designed to make White People feel better.
