Good grief when my father alive, he would say 'colored'. My mother being from the West Indies would say, negro and she still says negro.

Besided you're right about NAACP. African-American would really apply to anyone born in Africa come to America, including white people, indians and coloured people. I've never seen white people designated as "italian-american",etc.

Names of my relatives include Bozzi, Feliccia, Groppi, Nannini, and DiPippo, but I am NOT an Italian-American - I AM AN AMERICAN with Italian ancestry.

AFAIK, there is no such thing as an African-American, I don't know of any country with "Africa" in its title that offers dual citizenship with America.

Here is my all time favorite hot looking actress (outside of Petra Verkaik to whom I have pledged my undying loyalty) that I think is even more beautiful than Halle Berry. I won't name her but I'll give you a hint. When she first went to liberal Hollywood, she was rejected for roles because, due to her refined British accent, they claimed she didn't sound "black" enough. This woman is STUNNING!
