yes many of their ancestors were from Africa which makes them "African American" but their nationality would be American, if they were born here.

NO! Black Americans are of mixed heritage, being part Native American, part European, & in some cases part Asian. They are American like Italians are Italian even if the Italian person has some African blood. Black Americans are tied to America by their Native American ancestry. That's why there is such a variation in the looks of many. When one studies history, one finds this out. The term African American is a misnomer & negates the other members of a black Americans family tree. Why not be honest about what you are & use terminology that shows this?
