My brotha, I was able to review some info last night.

In the book entitled "The Destruction of Black Civilization" by Chancellor Williams he does refer (as many sources do) to an even older name for the Continent that is Bilad as Sudan an Arabic phrase meaning Land of the Blacks. So that disputes your claim that there is no land called Black.

Older names of the Continent are Alkebulan, Hikuptah ("Mansion of the Soul of Ptah"), Aigyptos (Greek for "Burnt Faces"), Ta-Meri, Ta-Seti, etc. With the exception of the Greek name from which we derive the name Egypt, all of the above are what the Blacks on the Continent called themselves.

I am still doing research on the name 'Africa' and will let you know when I find what I am seeking.

I stand corrected. Thank you for the enlightenment.
