The U.N. Corrected the Map. Why Was America the Only “No” Vote?
Sep 09, 2026By Emma Young
AmeriKKKa is so racist they see the truth as a bitter enemy:
The U.N. backed a map that shows Africa true to size. The U.S. was sole objector.
The U.S. was the only country to vote against the U.N. resolution, which encourages the use of an “Equal Earth” map. The U.S. described it as a “radical ideological project.”
The United Nations voted Friday to endorse a world map that more accurately reflects the true size of continents, following an African-led campaign.
The U.N. General Assembly voted 164 votes to 1 to adopt a resolution to encourage members to use the “Equal Earth” projection rather than the commonly used Mercator map, which dates back to the 16th century.
The U.S. cast the sole vote against the initiative, while six countries abstained: Estonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Moldova, Serbia and Ukraine.
The vote followed a “Correct the Map” campaign backed by the African Union and led by Togo. The campaign argued that the Mercator map, developed by Flemish mapmaker Gerardus Mercator in 1569, misrepresents the size of continents, particularly Africa, and carries unfair connotations of power and privilege.
