As always the term comes from the church. The area of Africa was, to the church, "unenlightened" and therefore without the light of Jesus, a DARK place. Referreed to as the Dark Continent by priests who went there, it began to stick with media and visitors alike.

actually, it was referred to as the dark continent. it had nothing to do with the people there, but being undeveloped at that time and thick with jungle, it had been given that name.

Well, look at your writing. You can't spell worth a crap. Maybe that's why we think your culture is backwards.
