Noticeably "ethnic" African American names are not currently included in the U.S. names file because there's no way to prevent the occurrence or frequency of awkward combinations like "LaShawn Geisel" or some such.

Apart from creating a separate file for ethnic African American names, there's not really any way to handle this right now. You could include the ethnic African American names, and edit out the weird combinations, or you can NOT include them, and edit them in. Of course, the current U.S. names file should generate many names that would be suitable for African American players (like "Ryan Howard" or "Barry Bonds," for example). You just won't see names like "Asante," I don't think.
