Is this why Africa is referred to as the motherland?
- ars 17y agoIt's not.
- tokenadult 17y agoThe following link was submitted before this thread, http://www.funadvice.com/q/why_is_africa_called_the_motherland http://www.funadvice.com/q/why_is_africa_called_the_motherla... so there is evidence that people have been calling Africa the motherland before the issue came up here.
- ars 17y agoNo, there is evidence that a single person calls it that. I still don't think it's called the motherland by anyone except people who have lived there personally. Every country is called the motherland by the people who live there.
