An African-American is a âblackâ person that was born in America with an African descent. As an African-American I donât really care about being called âblackâ or âAfrican- Americanâ even though some people do, and probably most of the people with this descent do. Just because weâre a different race doesnât mean weâre not human, whether youâre âwhiteâ or âblackâ weâre all still American
In Illinois we now have an African-American female as our governor.
