These threads seem to be popular now a days, and of course it was started by me :P.

Heres what I think of Africa when I hear the word

Slavery

Egyptians and Isrealites

Pyramids

White peoplelive there wtf? ( Most people are surprised when they hear that)

Apartheid

Nelson Mandela

Footy

Ghana

Rwandan conflict

Extreme poverty

European colonization

Ancient African kingdoms and peoples that taught the Greeks, Chinease, Romans etc.

The first people were on this continent

 The beautiful Safari

AIDS 

What do you think

I think of Israel as Eurpe to be honest

I think that it's a bit odd going from countries to continants, tbh

@ highwaystar101

I never said it was in Europe, and it isnt. Its in Asia. I dont know why they were in Euro 2008 qual.

@ SamuelRSmith

I only said Africa, a continent, because most of the countries there are in the same situation and have similar pasts.

AIDS, Ebola, Diamonds, Conflict Diamonds, AK 47s, Elephents, Lions, Poverty, War.

When I hear Africa I usually think of FUBAR... Fu**ed Up Beyond All Recognition...

Don´t want to insult anybody from Africa but thats how I see the general situation there through the info I have... I`m no expert though...

Africa=European Destruction of a continent.
Then I think, impossible odds and how the $*@# do people actually live there.
Then I think, shit people actually live there that sucks.
Then I think, they are lucky the have faith.
Then I think, I need to do something.
Then I realize, I am dead.

 Sure europeans didn´t do much to help africa... but if you think genoside wasn´t there before europeans came you are dead wrong... sadly with european tecknology they now have better means for it... still this isn´t all europes fault... they (mostly england and france) could have done a better job though...

From first post:

Egyptians and Isrealites= FYI this is more associated with the Jewish, Christian and Muslim religions more than africa and politically socially, and economically Egypt isnt African it is arab in nature. True africa is subsaharan Africa, then again i could just be being mean about this to you but i have nothing better to do so ill continue.

Rwandan conflict= The genocide? God. Which then after the end caused three major wars in the region which are still having consequences in the Congo right now?

Ancient African kingdoms and peoples that taught the Greeks, Chinease, Romans etc.= um......... what are you smokin? And where can i get some?

The first people were on this continent= only place where early evidence however the timing does not match up for Asia and this group and there were earlier "humans" in europe.

 LOL there was no major wars and destruction untl the Euros came. My point was mostly carving up a continent into different regions without regard to ethnic relgions or racial boundaries then leaving them united as different countries where there has not been any histroy of unity and expecting them to all be okay. The politicl lines were $^%@ so bad many many wars started from that. Genocide i would not categorize the african conflicts before the euros arrive the society then was like medevil europe minus the metal armor.
