Africa has a crack in it: will probably break into two continents
It'll take tens of millions of years, but Africa may eventually split into two parts.
While geologists have known about this possibility for a while, it became news recently when a large crack, stretching several miles in length, made a sudden appearance in southwestern Kenya following heavy rain.
The tear, which continues to grow, collapsed part of a highway and "was accompanied by seismic activity in the area," said Lucia Perez Diaz, a postdoctoral researcher on tectonics at Royal Holloway, a university in London.
The crack is located in a region known as the East African Rift Valley. It measures more than 50 feet in depth and 65 feet across, according to National Geographic. A rift valley refers to a lowland region where tectonic plates rift, or move apart.

Pictures at source -- an amazing look at a monumental event in the history of the planet.

A country dividing itself and it’s members?
Racist!
(Wait. They are black people, aren’t they? Hope so, or I won’t have a wailing point to make)

Indeed, as the left treat all people non European as dark skin as if they are one country, when we all descend from this land mass.
And that wetwipe called you racist
Africa is a continent and yet the left have cast this by a label as black
I guess they have no idea on how the environment alters our skin pigmentation.
Does anyone not see how the left continually and emphatically maintain a divide of racism, as bad as the Far right?

Really, Didge ???
You just called Ben a "wetwipe" ??. Or was that aimed at veya...
Interesting to note that you are now referring to the likes of various commentators here like eddie, Syl, magica, H/T, Tommy, Smelly Bandit, Deano, Stormee and company as "the left" -- or maybe that simply shows us how far to the right you have placed yourself here today ?
Despite all of your drunken gibberish snowflake bulldust here, the simple fact remains that has always been the conservative money-grubbing right-wing colonialist landthieves and slavetraders who coined that term "black" -- not your mythical "left wing" enrmies..

Show one post in this thread where a Left wing poster said Black
it is Entirely YOUR RACIST posts that mention Black at all.
Because YOU are a Racist. No one even said anything about Sin Colour until you did. In any of the threads, even in the Asian One you called a Malaysian woman Black or suggested it has to do with Blacks when there is ZERO blacks in the story. and NO one But you had posted the world Black at all.
Eddie did in the classic Casual racist way Suggest an Entire Continent was just a Country. which since she had attempted to make a joke about it being racist while being Racist. Me and Wolf both Made a Joke at her expense for the Irony of her comment.

Ah so we are back to your long list of slagging off people and not actually debating any actual points and the cast me as drunk, when you pathetic wetwipes cannot reason your points.
I do not deny it was both left and right wing people who were as racist as can be in the past
You though think it was only people on the right and we are living today, witnessing again the hate and racism of the left against the Jews
That hate from the left and right has never gone away

I suggest you read back as you yourself say black
Seriously little boy, you are no more than immature and some pathetic limp dick, who as per usual cannot debate the points at hand and do this to everyone. As you are the worst regressive going
Well considering every nation just about refers to African people as one ethnic group and not seperate, based on left wing thinking I might add. When we refer to many different European. Shows again it was the left seeking to divide people
You and wolf are the joke here, because idiots like you constantly have actually no idea wht actual racism is and as seen, you happen to be one of the worst racist towards Jews, through the guise of hating people. Simple for wanting self determination. Its one of the oldest racism
Antisemitism

Which is EXACTLY what we accused you of,
Straight UP lying, as NO POSTER FROM THE LEFT even mentioned Black. YOU DID!!!
Entirely YOU and Your Make believe strawman. Because YOU want to make it about Colour.
Because You cant handle a couple of Aussies Pointing out that Africa is not a County and is in fact and Entire continent of Different nations and cultures not on Homogenous 'blacks'
Fuck you, you are totally owned. as You have Posted nothing But Lies and Strawmen and have been called out with evidence in the thread.

But you did mention white wetwipe, just look back and you constantly define me and everyone else by the colour white
So I am not lying at all, as seen on the other thread, again it is you defining people by the colour of their skin, which changes, through seasons and thousands of years of history within an environment
A couple of wetwipes, who as seen, are the ones actually racist defining and labelling people by made up concepts, black and white.
I am totally owned by you?
Man alive do you have sexual frustrations

Too true, that...
But the reporter who wrote that original story also showed what an ignorant and un-imaginative dolt he is, by suggesting that the two tectonic plates are drifting apart..
On the contrary, the plates have been drifting towards each other for the last few million years, and are still doing so (that's how major mountain ranges like the Himalaya and the Andes have been formed through continental plates colliding..) -- rather than drifting apart along the fault, eventually the Rift Valley will be superceded by either a new mountain range or a deeper "grand canyon" type event, (depending on which way the crust moves..), way before the 'continental drift[ reverses again, even more millions of years later.
