Why do people in the United States to call black people African-Americans?

I never understood why Americans refer their black people as African-Americans, though Americans by birth and have never been to Africa. I have never heard etc. of a British African or African, Chinese, I just listen to African-Americans Can someone tell me why.

The term "African American" became popular in the mid-1980s by a number of types of elite universities black academic. They have begun to use, and it became fashionable among black leaders and white leaders of the media. In the 90s, some began to insist on the new sentence stating that "black" is a dated and inaccurate descriptions. Some conspiracy-minded types suggests that black leaders adopted the "African American" (replacing "black", which had replaced "person of color" has replaced "African American" who had replaced the "color", which had replaced "black", all considered good manners to time) to take the white using bad words, so he could launch a wave of accusations of racism and then use it as evidence that America is as racist as ever. Since changes in writing these many years, it is understandable that some people think, but such charges were rarely made and even less often taken seriously. In my experience, most people still use "black" in the daily conversation. This includes my black friends and my friends of other races. I'm American and have lived in Europe and Asia. I used to be a school teacher, and always have been academic discussions on race, I reminded my students that "African American" is a culture not a race, and explained why. Is curious. Most children have never felt this way before, but seems to take more naturally than many adults.
