AAVE was an awful term, but "Regional African English" and "Afro-English" is even worse if you're trying to talk about black Americans.
Are you talking about the English of Africans in different parts of Africa? If so, are you including the voices of white and Mediterranean Africans?
I'm confused. As a black American with roots (going back a couple centuries) in the Ark-La-Tex, I would think our dialects would be covered under "Southern American," which makes me suspect that you were referring to me with all of those references to another continent.
