BREAKING NEWS! Around 123 countries at the UN have just voted that African enslavement was the biggest crime against humanity. This is an enormous victory for the #reparations movement, led by Ghana.

What did you expect from countries (governments) supporting a genocide?Neither Spain nor Ireland support the genocide in Gaza...

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg06q36052o@ryanjess77 The almost extinct Natives around the world, in areas slaves were imported to would like a word with you, but most of them are only spirits now so you need a fucking shaman.

Of course,
voted no against this resolution, but a big group of 52 countries also abstained, mostly from 
(and yes, that includes 
as well). So much for showing remorse and turning a blind eye against their own history. 
️ @ryanjess77
What I dislike about this resolution is that it solidifies slave trade to the Transatlantic one. At the time, there was still trade of European slaves: mostly Slavs in Crimea, and whatever pirates would capture (regardless of race and religion) in the Mediterranean.That was the norm, and the norm was only changed by people of the West (who some people here so hate) that decided that we are all equal and that people should not be traded.

Since we have a chancellor who did not vote against rape in marriage... Germany has just voted consistently!

@grb090423 @freediverx @ryanjess77 Exceptions don’t break the rule and all that.
And Spain were slave traders.

@clickhere @ryanjess77 Yep.
Colonised themselves but still white more than anything else.

@tzafrir @ryanjess77 Oh look, an Israeli defending the transatlantic slave trade and congratulating the perpetrators for eventually being forced to stop hurting the victims. How on brand. Aren’t you supposed to be busy committing genocide?

@kDelta I see you're attempting to dicksplain my own history to me. Don't bother.

@Jorsh @ryanjess77 It's so shameful. Our governments are a disgrace.

@aral Can you re-phrase that? I'm struggling to interpret it.

No, you're right, they don't, and yes Spain absolutely was (like most European countries). I was just pointing out the stance of both countries in the Gaza genocide matter. Good has to be acknowledged sometimes for it to be able to contiue and hopefully spread.

@clickhere @ryanjess77 Ireland should pay reparations just like the rest of the European countries involved. Many of the grand universities and Georgian streets in both UK and Ireland were paid for by the profits generated by slave labour in the US and the Caribbean up to the 19th Century. Massive castles were built/purchased in Ireland from the proceeds of this horrible crime. An example is Castledaly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daly_Castle

@clickhere @ryanjess77 I mean, the Irish were colonised but they’re still very much white.
