Erika Sumner#BREAKING #News: The #UnitedNations General Assembly has voted to recognize the enslavement of Africans during the transatlantic slave trade as "the gravest crime against humanity", a move advocates hope will pave the way for healing and justice. Note: #UN GA resolutions are not legally binding, though they carry the weight of global opinion.

Closely follows by Israel's ethnic cleansing & genocide in Gaza?

@gawdy Kindly, whether or not it’s intended, when people try to talk about the history of #slavery & the systemic abuse of #Black people & others change the subject, it can be a form of #BlackErasure. From my experience I’ve found that people do the “What about this group” most when #Black issues are brought up & it’s something all of us who aren’t #Black should be aware of. What’s happening in Gaza is devastating, it’s just not what I’m talking about here. #BLM #Blackmastodon
