    Well, you could say, "je suis un américain d'origine africaine" it would explain both your origin and your nationality.

    In slang, we use the english word "black" which is not offending .

    or we say "Africains" which is bit stilty

    If you're going to Africa as a comedian it is a good one. Otherwise forget it. Just tell them you are American. If you're black, I think they will know.
