Sounds like you are implying that they are subhuman, like animals.

Africa where humanity started is the most genetically diverse continent on earth - in a way everyone living outside are African immigrants (but that's going too far)

African DNA has more genetic diversity - Telegraph

Many people seem happy with their ignorance though some clearly have superiority complexes...

Yep. I lived in Uganda for 2 years and they do not look the same, even though racists think they do.

Lol I'm not in the business of selectively choosing photos on Google Images. But good job picking the Darker ones. The entire reason that South Sudan exists is because of Arab conflicts with the Southern Black tribes. Are a majority of Egyptians Black now too?

False.

Yet another glaring example here of Africa being a misunderstood continent.

You have more in common with an Iranian than these two girls do with each other, genetically/ethnically speaking:

Here in the Midwest, they think all of Africa is in absolute poverty and turmoil and could not possibly be on the road toward development.

I got a lot of bug eye responses why on earth would a non-African solo traveller would want to go to Africa, unless if I had family over there.....

While it maybe true in certain parts of central and Eastern Africa are infested with disease and conflicts, a number of them are developing gradually and are nice places to visit which make tourists feel welcome.
