Not all african americans are black. It just means someone who was born in one but is a citizen of the other. For example, someone who was born in Africa but is now an american citizen would be an african american. I'm not sure what others would think about this, but I would suggest you could still be considered an african american if your parents/grandparents immigrated.

How much African American does Obama have in him?
President Obama is 100% American and NOT an African-American at all. In order to be an African-American he (and any other person) would have to maintain a dual citizenship for both Africa and America. From Obama's own admission he was born in America and has NEVER been a citizen of any other country. Obama does however, maintain a personal heritage of both America and Africa...
Is you were born in Africa and live in America are you African American?
No, there are other criteria. There are many ethnicities represented in Africa. If an Afrikaner were to move to America, he would not be referred to as an African-American. To be an African-American, a person would need to be of Congoid (Black African) ancestry but born in America. It is puzzling how, from a distance, anybody can know which continent a person was born on but, because "Black" and "Negro" fell out of favor, the term is used rather loosely to describe anybody of Congoid (also called Negroid) ancestry who happens to be in the United States.
