The spelling of Afrika versus Africa is because spelling it with a "c" is considered to be "eurocentric". Spelling it with a "k" focuses it more on Afrika. As a good friend and member of a NPHC sorority explained it to me, most people who spell it with a "k" consider sororities to be eurocentric institutions and not traditional Afrikan institutions (in other words, they view sororities and fraternities as being sell-outs).

Okay, that's cool! From now on, I'm going to start spelling things with a "k" to get back at THE MAN!
