There are African Americans and African Africans.
African Americans were born and raised in America, so did their parents and grand parents.
African African is sosmeone who was born in Africa and raised there. They might move to America and become a fob.
Jasmine: What's your name?
African: Chinedu
Jasmine: Where are you from again?
Chinedu: Nigeria I was born and raised there, I moved here last year.
Jasmine: Oooohhh!! So you are not African American you are African African.

An individual who has ancestry from the continent of Africa. It does not matter how many years since a family has left the continent of Africa. In the same way that a person may have 3 generations of Nigerians in America, he will never lose his ancestry.
Joe:
Even though many generations of my family have been born in America, I am still African just like Chinese people who have been in America for generations are still considered Chinese.
John:
But you've never been to Africa and don't speak an indigenous African language because they only want to teach Spanish and French in school?
Joe:
In the same way that some Latinos don't speak Spanish and some Chinese people don't speak Chinese. It's about your ancestry and the need to be feel united with my people, although slavery deprived me of the ability to know exactly what country my ancestors originated from.

African: The worlds oldest inhabitants. The word "indigenous" means "the original" or "the first". It describe "the original" peoples who live in Africa, the old inhabitants (called "Black", english word, by modern Europeans), (not newcomers, or invaders). Also including the prototypical peoples of the African ancient and modern diaspora (African ancestry or descent). Originally inhabiting areas of tropical rain forestation, also desert dwellings.

The most educated and top earning immigrant group in the United States. Research found that of the 1.4 million sub-Saharan African immigrants who are 25 and older, 41% have a bachelor’s degree, compared with 30% of all immigrants and 32% of the U.S.-born population. The New American Economy study found that 1 in 3 of these undergraduate degrees were focused on science, technology, engineering and math That report also found that African immigrants were significantly more likely to have graduate degrees. A total of 16% had a master’s degree, medical degree, law degree or a doctorate, compared with 11% of the U.S.-born population, African immigrants were more than twice as likely than the U.S. population overall to work in healthcare, Lim said. There are more than 32,500 nursing, psychiatric or home health aides, more than 46,000 registered nurses and more than 15,700 doctors and surgeons. Most African immigrants are raised in very strict religious households and their parents tolerate zero bullshit.
Damn, I wonder who got the 100% on our Physics test and messed up the curve!
Well of course it was Jeremiah! He's the only African in our class!

Not the same as being Black American as Africans still have preserved culture, language, food and attire that exhibit African culture.
I am African African because my parents are, you are Black American because your parents, grandparents, great grandparents were born here and you know nothing about the African culture.
