If we can say "white", we can say "black". It's not offensive.

I only know personally a few people from Africa. One is black, and the other four are white.

All the other black people I know were born in America or nearby island nations. They aren't from Africa.

None of the Deaf black people I know sign "African-American". They sign "black".

When you say, "Obama to me act more alike white instead of his own color", what exactly does that mean?
