black Africa
black Africa n. sub-Saharan Africa, characterized as inhabited or ruled predominantly by black people (and thus contrasted with northern Africa).Early use by white colonists, missionaries, etc., often had additional connotations of benightedness; either for this reason, or because of generally increased racial sensitivity, the term is now sometimes avoided as potentially offensive.
