Technically, you are correct. However, in the US, that term is used to describe skin color. Obama calls himself black. And trust me from now until November, he'll be "Black" and treated just like the rest of us black folk .
Update - We have two schedule changes - (1) NBCSN is replaying the semifinal match instead of the gold medal match tonight - same time slot of 7:30 pm ET-9:30 pm ET. (2) NBCSN has decided to stop showing these "Return To London" replays a few days early so the gold medal match will not be shown Tuesday - 9:00 pm ET-11:00 pm ET. (The last showing is track cycling/bmx - Monday morning - 2:00 am ET-3:00 am ET. Orginial schedule had them going to Wednesday night with the mens and womens gold medal basketball games being shown back to back - 7:00 pm ET-11:00 pm ET.)
