The effort to make Africa look smaller than it is and Western nations larger than they are was rooted in anti-Blackness and White Supremacy.

Simultaneously beautiful yet somber. The whole northern central part is one big ass desert which explains that region being lights out. Africa is beautiful with so much potential

At least African's can say they arent responsible for global warming..

But yeah, the current World Map makes Greenland appear to be the size of North America..

Im not sure they should change it, dont want to give the Asians etc the impression there's plenty of land available in Africa..

have they started with their own textbooks and information provided on government websites?

governments should create license free digital assets of maps and globes that reflects what they want.

I didn’t even think about that until a Black college professor told our class that.


It was also a topic on a tv show
