huh? What is your point?
My wife prefers to be called African-American over black, although she has no knowledge of her african ancestry. It is politically correct.
My point is that she is American, and that the term African-American is a nonsensical term coined by politicians that thought that this would sound better than Citizenship: American, Race: Negro.

The only commonality is the color of skin and that is not a culture. So two black friends here, identifying with each other based on color, may have been sworn enemies in that vast continent of Africa or more likely their initial cultures were very different from one another.
