I think that as CCs we are taught that African American is the most "polically correct". However, all my black friends use the term black, so I do too. I taught my kids both so they would know both. At 3 and 4 they were confused by black because they had just learned their colors and their skin is brown. So, I used AA. It also opened up discussions about Africa and what that means. Now that they are less focused on the literal colors of skin, we are teaching them the terms "black" and "white" from a racial standpoint.
