Nope, the term applies only to Sub-Saharan blacks.
I know a man who is a middle school teacher. He is pale white and plump and a good history teacher. His Negro students get into the African Identity thing from time to time and one will haughtily assert he can’t understand their world because he isn’t African. He comes back with the fact that he is a lot more African than the kid is as he was born in Ethiopia which he was. He is the son of missionary parents who spent many years in Africa. The kid usually persists and Bruce asks him where he or she was born. When the answer is Florida or Georgia, Bruce says,” and you call yourself African?” That ends the conversation.
