#reparations — Public Fediverse posts

Once racism is valued in GoFundMe's and GiveSendGo's we can keep score, the lone juror is about 57% to being paid the average value of reparations due to Black Americans who descended from slavery.

It's an annoying fact of Black life, that traumatic events can spur good will. Good will that should be statutorily required, actually...

Anyways, keep being racist, this slave at least is almost free.

*The United States voted against a United Nations resolution this week to formally recognize the trans-Atlantic slave trade as the “gravest crime against humanity.”*

*The resolution, which was led by Ghana, urged U.N. member states to apologize for the slave trade and to contribute to a reparations fund.*

While the slavery UN resolution passed by a healthy 123 in for it, 3 against and 52 abstaining.

The three actively against were Israel, Argentina and the US.

The 52 abstain was made up primarily of the European block with a notable supporter of reparations, Ukraine, not having much to say on this clear and present need for reparations.

The "rules based order" at work I guess

UN Secretary-General António Guterre stated today:

“Now we must remove the persistent barriers that prevent so many people of African descent from exercising their rights and realising their potential,”

Huge update from the UN today, Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama has secured a UN resolution declaring the slave trade (and it's lasting impacts) as one of the world's worst human rights abuses.

President Mahama stressed the importance of this resolution in the fight for reparations paid by the countries who profited from slavery.

I hate the constitution because they were never “the people” it was always crap from treaty-breakers. You don’t write “we the people” if you’re NOT the people. No one with power right now represents the people, much less is one of us. #landback #reparations #sovereignty for #natives and #africandiaspora

#KiahDuggins wrote a piece about #BelindaSutton, enslaved woman who petitioned #MApoli for #reparations from a Tory family that fled in the #Revolution250 days.

I put it on Belinda's page a while ago. I had no idea her life had touched mine....

Both Belinda and Kiah were our neighbors in the #BostonMA area.

(but we were technically #CharlestownMA at the time...)

Just a reminder that #CNRail had built rail lines on #unceded #NativeLand in #BritishColumbia (and likely elsewhere but I only speak on areas I'm knowledgeable about). None of the #BC #FirstNations have received proper apologies, much less proper #reparations to this day. Yet, #Canada #FederalGovernment & #BCgovernment has allowed CN Rail to obtain injunctions to stop activists from protesting without being immediately arrested. #LANDBACK #Indigenous #StolenLand #JusticeOverdue #NoConsent

If we're talking #reparations, when will the French pay for the virtual destruction of Anglo-Saxon culture and the colonization of Britain? https://www.spectator.co.uk/2019/07/anglo-saxons-deserve-reparations-for-the-norman-conquest/ #NormanConquest
