   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.

     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. 🤦🏽♂️ 🤦🏽

     What did you expect from countries (governments) supporting a genocide?

     @grb090423 @freediverx @ryanjess77 Exceptions don’t break the rule and all that.

     And Spain were slave traders.

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

     @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.
