One view: Over so many generations of being in the New World, African Americans are no longer attached to their native Africa and have developed a unique African American culture.

Another view: Because they are not nor were they ancestors from "Africa" like it is often portrayed, but are descendants of Israel. The connection is not there to Africa because it wasn't truly ever.

Are people who live in Africa African Americans?

African-Americans are US citizens whose ancestors are (usually) from the continent of Africa. Africans who live in an African country would be referred to by their country of citizenship (e.g., Namibians, Kenyans) and would not be called African-Americans. An African-American visiting Africa would simply be thought of as an "American" or "US citizen" to the local population.
