Peter GleickThe United Nations General Assembly this week overwhelmingly backed a resolution declaring the transatlantic slave trade "the gravest crime against humanity".
Three countries voted against it.
The US, Argentina, and Israel.
Le personified devil@petergleick To me the weirdest part is who the reparations should go to, its not like the descendents of the slaves mainly live in africa. And this is being pushed by Ghana so I see clear intend of the reparations going to the countries of origin... When it should instead be going to current african americans because those are the actual descendents of the slaves.
This honestly feels like a bit of a money grab to me, especially considering the means like declaring it the gravest crime against humanity.
