  1. U.S. Votes Against Recognizing Slavery as a Crime Against Humanity The UN passed a resolution recognizing the transatlantic slave trade as a crime against humanity, backed by 123 countries. The US, Israel & Argentina were the only nations to vote against it, in opposition to a global consensus. The resolution also strengthens the push for reparations tied to the lasting impact of slavery.

  5. 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…

  9. Mayor of San Francisco Signs Ordinance Granting Reparations for Black Citizens

    It’s clear now: Reparations must be accomplished on a city-by-city basis because states and the feds are never going to do it.

  39. @ChrisMayLA6 Well, India and China used to *utterly dominate* the global economy before colonization and destabilization efforts by the British, Portuguese, Dutch, French, and others.

    Instead of looking at 1980-present, why not look at 1600-present or something like that? Maybe even 1492-present, to capture the grand, systematized theft of wealth by European colonialism from the Americas, Africa, and Asia.

  46. 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]

    Lyrics from Wikipedia, with some brief additions of my own. It's far past time for Reparations and Land Back.
