In 19th Century Europe and the Western world, the area was sometimes referred to as Black Africa. Africa as a whole was commonly known as 'the Dark continent", a term that was usually intended to refer to the Sub-Saharan region. This was partly due to the skin color of its indigenous inhabitants and partly because much of it had not been fully mapped or explored by Westerners. These terms are now obsolete and often considered to be pejorative. Further, they are misleading, as black Africans are indigenous to much of North Africa, as well.

That my dear is so so not true africa is a beautiful continent with many wonders as for the people they just like me an you. Totally normal. Africa is made out to be a continent with no civilization trust me they just as good and even better then some 1st world countries. Travel to countries such as Egypt ,Morroco , South Africa , Botswana , Namibia , Zambia, These are just a few but they remarkable places that will leave memories forever

Well, if you refer to the fact that the majority of the people living there are black then the answer is yes, it is a black continent, but there also live people like Arabs ( mostly in the northern countries) an even white Caucasians in countries like South Africa
