All humans are African in ancestry, so you could say Neil Armstrong was. Most people use "African American" because they are afraid to say "black". Personally, if a person wasn't born in Africa, i don't think they should be claiming to be an African American, because, like I said, if you are human, your ancestors came from Africa.

In case you were wondering, no black astronauts went to the Moon. The first black astronaut, Robert Henry Lawrence, Jr., died in an accident without ever making it to space.
