I fully agree. Unfortunately, unless the UN has a mechanism for imposing meaningful sanctions on Western nations that profited from the African Slave Trade I don’t think anything meaningful will come from this. I can think of one nation in particular that will never accept any responsibility for its crimes…

Today is #NationalTruthAndReconciliationDay, so grab your orange shirt, but don't stop there! It is a great time to unlearn and #Decolonize our minds and society (but this should be a priority 24/7 and 365). Educate yourself and others, spread awareness, join community gatherings, donate to #Indigenous orgs, and buy Indigenous. In solidarity ✊️

@blogoklahoma So long as the systems we currently have continue to exist, yes it will repeat those "mistakes." #reparationsnow #reparationsdue #reparationsareoverdue #reparations

The legal institution of human chattel slavery, comprising the enslavement primarily of Africans and African Americans, was prevalent in the United States of America from its founding in 1776 until 1865 (predominantly in the South.) [Slavery was foreshadowed by Christopher Columbus' treatment of Native peoples, justified under the "Doctrine of Discovery."] From 1526 during the early Colonial Period it was practiced in what became Britain's colonies that formed the United States. Under the law, an enslaved person was treated as property that could be bought, sold, or given away. Slavery lasted in about half of U.S. states until abolition in 1865, and issues concerning slavery seeped into every aspect of national politics. In the decades after the end of Reconstruction in 1877, many of slavery's economic and social functions were continued through segregation, sharecropping, and convict leasing. [and continue to this way within the prison system]
