African (the homeland of ancestors) American (current home). I'm German-American. I used to date a gorgeous woman who was Filipino-American. One of my best friends is Indian-American (not Native-American).
It's a perfectly reasonable way to identify someone's lineage and current status.
BTW, most of my friends who are "African-American" feel that "black" is perfectly fine so far is separating people by skin pigmentation.
