It's really not that hard the term African-American is used because due to the Atlantic Slave Trade they don't know what country they're originally from.

The term came about because white progressives a few decades back thought that the label of "black" was negative. Black is associated with darkness and evil in all societies. That needed to be fixed so they relabeled them as African Americans. True story.
