UN votes to recognise enslavement of Africans as 'gravest crime against humanity'

The landmark resolution calls for an apology and contributions to a reparations fund, without specifying an amount.

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. 🤦🏽‍♂️ 🤦🏽
@clickhere @ryanjess77 Ireland should pay reparations just like the rest of the European countries involved. Many of the grand universities and Georgian streets in both UK and Ireland were paid for by the profits generated by slave labour in the US and the Caribbean up to the 19th Century. Massive castles were built/purchased in Ireland from the proceeds of this horrible crime. An example is Castledaly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daly_Castle

@Muiris @ryanjess77 Very much so - and the historical record shows plenty of slave-owners had addresses in Ireland.
