It's a polarizing topic. I know a number of Black people, and that's how they refer to themselves, not as African-Americans. I tend to find that there's a dichotomy between those that refer to themselves from the viewpoint of being American (Blacks), and the viewpoint of having ancestral history elsewhere (African-America).
Negro is way out, even if a lot of Blacks refer to each other as "Nigga", as the guys I know do.
