I agree with either of those, though I prefer slashes over parens. “Sub-Saharan African (Black)” sounds like something that would not apply to folks from other places, like African Americans.
Asian Americans aren’t “Asian” either, I was going for consistency. Sub-Saharan African is pretty unwieldy, making it African (Black) would match the Asian designations in how specific it is and be much more elegant.
But the geographic meaning being primary does kind of cause problems. So slash is probably better.
