I agree. America is a melting pot. If you were born in America, you are an American, not a hyphenated whatever-American. That said, I usually say "black" because you dont know if in fact the person is African American or Haitian, Jamaican, African, or some other nationality that is black. I use the word black to describe someone the same way I'd say someone was blond or brunette or tan or pale or whatever.
