African-American would (or should) indicate an American of African heritage, or perhaps someone who immigrated here directly from Africa and became a citizen, but not necessarily someone who is black. Black would indicate race, but not necessarily African heritage. Anyway, there’s a difference, and the poll should have reflected that – i.e. African-American shouldn’t have been included in the list.
