  1. Sadly that map of Africa pretty much represents the average American's (of all races) knowledge of Africa.

  3. "Thats probably good compared to the rest of Africa" Less than 5% of Africans in total have AIDS.

  5. "The geographical map, or the political map?" Both. Sadly, the average American probably couldn't list 15 African countries. Let alone tell you anything about the countries politically.

  6. "smartass responses" Smartass responses? How are facts "smartass"ed? "Name the last global African-based superpower that has existed in the modern world" That's asking for quite a lot considering that Europe left Africa in quite a shitty condition after colonialism and most African countries just became independent less than 50 years ago. But some African countries do have relatively high living standards, such as Mauritius, Gabon and South Africa.

  8. "But Africa is still extremely poor and irrelevent" Not all of it. Some African countries have become relatively wealthy in the past 20 years and some have actually regressed, unfortunately. But Africa does account for a lot of the world's natural resource trade and some industrial trade. "Although South Africa is fairly wealthy" In terms of GDP. There are other countries in Africa with higher standards of living now.
