In fact, when someone calls themself 'African American' I would challenge you to counter with 'black' and see what happens.

I have never used "African American" in my life. Just as you mentioned, it does not make any sense. Charlize Theron is actually from South Africa. So she would be African American, right? Nope. But some black that has never left NOLA's ninth ward is African American? Never!
