Oppose: this converts the category from a topic category into a set category (see WP:Categorization#General conventions), and would likely fill it with an enormous amount of articles.
Actually it would be a topic-set category, if I understand the convention properly. It will mainly include other large categories, as it already does (Category:African diaspora is probably the largest). Relatively developed subcategories already exist, such as Category:Lists of black people. In any case, Black race already redirects to Black people, and Black people needs a category, as "Black"-titled articles and (small) categories have up to now been categorised under "African" categories and spread around.

Support I've had many arguments with Americans about subjects like this on Quora. Americans insist on using Americanisms for everything, even when the rest of the English speaking world are in the majority. They label every topic/category/article about Black people to African Americans, so when you request to change them to things like Black people, Black culture, Black music etc you're fighting an uphill battle, as they seem to think the word Black is racist. I've even heard Americans refer to Black British people as British African Americans countless times, and they've even referred to people from countries in Africa as African Americans a few times too.
