But, I agree that we need new terms to distinguish people who are from the continent of Africa regardless of race and people who are black regardless of country and people who black from American with distant roots in Africa.

We already have those terms:

‘African American’ refers to US citizens.

‘African national’ refers to geography. Or we simply state thw country of origin, like South African.
