The connotations that characterize this beloved continent and people of ours such as the dark continent, under-developed world, poverty stricken Africa and the negative propaganda of the western media to re-emphasize and confirm the prejudice is clear for all to see. The 5th century BC conquest of Alexander the Great and his expansion policy of Hellinisation had its repercursions on what's now africa/ There are several names attributable to the continent eg, Abbysynia,ethiopia.cyrene, egypt, nubia, mizraim ,niger ,sahara but the correlation with Ifriqia is duplicitous and non-consequential. The name etymology of the word reverberates the prejudice once held and continues to inform the behavior of white people ,no caucasians.It is not surprising to learn that despite the discovery of the advanced black olmec civilization in mexico,its truth has been suppressed. DONT TRUST THEM They plundered the continent of it;s human resources through the holocaust of slavery and the thievery of its resources. I am not cynical but judging from the character of what these people have accomplished in the abuse they meted out to the so-called people.

The etymology of the word is greek 'afronos'' meaning uncouph,unlettered and stupid.I am inclined to believe this source in view of the other descirptions of the continent as the dark continent,third world etc.You will be naive to believe otherwise. suffice I to say that it is equally not coincidental that there areonly two races who are defined solely by color-white and black and neither of which is accurate/.caucasians(originated from caucauses mountain and may be described as beige or black to be academically honest and sub-saharan african are not really black/ It is ridiculous to suggest that the name africa originated with african north of the sahara or within the continent for that matter.The various civilizations had no concepts of a continent in this dispensation.
