UN Declares Transatlantic Slave Trade a Crime Against Humanity!
The image clearly shows the disgusting reality of the hypocrisy of the western world.
This is what IMPERIALISM is. Trying their best to forget, ignore and deny the centuries of crimes against humanity that build their wealth and fortune.

A quotation from Daniel Webster
At the moment when God in his mercy has blessed the Christian world with a universal peace, there is reason to fear, that, to the disgrace of the Christian name and character, new efforts are making for the extension of this [slave] trade by subjects and citizens of Christian states, in whose hearts there dwell no sentiments of humanity or of justice, and over whom neither the fear of God nor the fear of man exercises a control. In the sight of our law, the African slave-trader is a pirate and a felon; and in the sight of Heaven, an offender beyond the ordinary depth of human guilt.
Daniel Webster (1782-1852) American statesman, lawyer, orator
Speech (1820-12-22), “First Settlement of New England,” Plymouth, MassachusettsMore about this quote: wist.info/webster-daniel/80534…

CW: Chattel slavery for sugar and rum 🧶
In 1776, Scotsman Adam "Smith noted that the British West Indian sugar plantations were so profitable they their returns from rum exports, a byproduct of sugar production, paid for the entire overhead expenses of a sugar plantation. As far as Smith was concerned, this was an achievement without parallel in eighteen-century British imperial agriculture."
(excerpt from Seymour Drescher’s book "The Mighty Experiment: Free Labor versus Slavery in British Emancipation")

The West African country of Benin is granting citizenship to descendants of enslaved people in an effort to attract the Black diaspora, acknowledge its own role in the slave trade, and promote tourism. “By legally recognizing these children of Africa, Benin is healing a historical wound. It is an act of justice, but also one of belonging and hope,” Justice Minister Yvon Détchénou said at a ceremony in the city of Cotonou during which U.S. singer Ciara received her citizenship. Here's more from @AssociatedPress.

Reasonable people: The African slave trade was bad.
Racists: But black Africans benefited too! In fact, they were the ones who captured and sold the slaves! Why don't you complain about them‽
Benin: As the primary beneficiary of the slave trade, we are actively seeking to make amends and provide reparations for the descendants of slaves.

Windermere and its History No One Wants to Discuss
It was a bit wet this morning in the Lakes, so here is a photograph from yesterday’s walk up Wansfell instead.
This is, of course, Windermere, England’s largest lake, famed for its picturesque scenery but cursed with a history no postcard could capture. And I don’t mean the recent sewage discharge debacle. A favourite with tourists, t ...
