Still mystified

I appreciate the answers I've received, but for some reason I still cannot get this to work. Grateful for help! I'd like to go on in the course but I can't get beyond this!

continents.py 
continents = [
    'Asia',
    'South America',
    'North America',
    'Africa',
    'Europe',
    'Antarctica',
    'Australia',
]
# Your code here
for continent in continents:
    print("* " + continent)
    if continent[0] = "A":
        print("* " + continent)

I had some answers previously (thank you!) which said I was just missing the asterisk; here I've added it and still I can't budge from here. I was really enjoying Treehouse but frustrated to be stalled all day over this!
