I wonder (((why)))

Between 1500 and 1800, around 12-15 million people were captured in Africa and taken to the Americas where they were forced to work as slaves. It is estimated that over two million people died on the journey.

The resolution, backed by the African Union and the Caribbean Community, states that the consequences of slavery persist in the form of racial inequalities and underdevelopment "affecting Africans and people of African descent in all parts of the world".

Ablakwa told the BBC: "Many generations continue to suffer the exclusion, the racism because of the transatlantic slave trade which has left millions separated from the continent and impoverished."

Ahead of the vote, speaker after speaker expressed similar views.

The UK, one of the major powers involved in the transatlantic slave trade, said it recognised the untold harm and misery that had been caused to millions of people over many decades.

But its ambassador to the UN, James Kariuki, told the assembly in his speech that the resolution was problematic in terms of its wording and international law.

"No single set of atrocities should be regarded as more or less significant than another," he said.

The US's ambassador to the UN made similar points during his speech, saying his country "does not recognise a legal right to reparations for historical wrongs that were not illegal under international law at the time they occurred".

In addition, Dan Negrea said the US objected to the "cynical usage of historical wrongs as a leverage point to reallocate modern resources to people and nations who are distantly related to the historical victims".

Ghana, one of the main gateways for the transatlantic slave trade, has long been a leading advocate for reparations.

Forts, where tens of thousands of enslaved Africans were once held under inhuman conditions, remain standing along the West African country's coast.

How does it make sense for Africans to get restitution/reparations for the transatlantic slave trade? They sold the bodies.

Wouldn’t this only apply to the decedents of those slaves? The Blacks of the americas?

>AYO GIBS ME DAT MONEY WHITEY
Do Africans realize that they were the ones capturing, enslaving and selling other africans as slaves?
The slave trade was abolished by Europeans. Africans wanted to keep it going.

>>1500580
The UN has just ended any sort of feasibility existing they once had.

>>1500580
1.Capitalist destruction of Earth is the greatest crime against humanity
2.capitalist exploitation of workers and killing them at a younger age because of health problems is second greatest crime
3. Stalin type communism is #3.
4. Humans exploiting other humans by selling them a slaves and using them as slaves, irregardless of color

>>1500626
Capitalism succeeds if the country is white like America

>>1500580
Do Muslims pay compensation?

What.A.Suprise!!

>1865 was only 160 years ago!!!

>>1500583
The US fear reparations. Israel voted with them because they’re gay like that, and Argentina fear US economic pressures. It’s telling that they couldn’t get more countries to vote against it

>>1500641
How did you know Argentina would vote this way?

>>1500585
>Wouldn’t this only apply to the decedents of those slaves?
Probably. And who would have to pay

>>1500626
1, 2, 4 could easily be 1(a)(b)(c)

Okay, but what about the modern slave trade? The last legal slave was freed in living memory, and less than legal slaves are still a roaring trade in places like Dubai. Is it because they're mostly street shitters now so nobody cares? Or is it because those places that still use slaves are glitzy and glamorous?

>>1500580
The first stops on their list of who owes reparations: Africa and
the middle east

>>1500588
Africans ARE keeping it going - there are slave markets right now in Africa

>>1500733
and there are concentrations camps being constructed in america. what's your point

>>1500735
No there aren't, retard.

>>1500735
go back to pol... ffs retard

>>1500735
I'm the third shill who proves your point by getting mad at you!

>>1500735
There’s more slavery in America, in the prisons

>>1500580
>a move advocates hope will pave the way for healing and justice.

AKA: reparations

Get in line muthafuckas, I'm still waiting on my reparations check from Mongolia! Now how much is 40 acres and a mule at 5% interest compounded monthly from 1242 AD?

>>1500583

All the White people voted no or abstained (along with a few others, like based Japan) because they don't want to get roped into endless "reparations" like Germany is still paying the Jews.

>>1500584
>Between 1500 and 1800, around 12-15 million people were captured in Africa and taken to the Americas where they were forced to work as slaves.

The Muslims had been enslaving Blacks long before that (and still do). Let them pay the reparations.

>>1500580
/pol/ admin, what do you expect?

but what about your fake job

>>1500797
Arabs were smart to castrate their African slaves.

>>1500715
Africans are such a fucking joke. There's even a campaign backed by multiple african governments to make Africa appear bigger on maps

>>1500854
Peters projection is a better standard and it’ll make Greenland look smaller which will be better for peace between the US and civilisation

Yes, Africans should never have left their continent.

>>1500588
Did they not that they enslave their own people to build pyramids?

>>1500854
>There's even a campaign backed by multiple african governments to make Africa appear bigger on maps
But this is objectively correct. It SHOULD be bigger on maps; Africa is underscaled on most maps in terms of its actual area.

For prime example, if you pull up a standard map Africa looks a little smaller than Russia in terms of height. It's actually equal if not bigger.

Pay them reparations? They should be paying us for all the hell they've raised!

>>1501001
That’s mostly a myth.

>>1500584
>Between 1500 and 1800, around 12-15 million people were captured in Africa and taken to the Americas where they were forced to work as slaves.
Captured by who?

>>1500588
fucking retard, they must have had to do that because there was an active market and demand for it. Had there been no demand, there wouldn't have been the trade itself. Fucking brain rot mindset

>>1500584
>the bbc
haha i bet he did

>>1501033
>>1501048
uhh purely economics

>>1501048
>they must have had to do that
It's true, they frankly had no other choice but to conquer neighboring tribes and sell them. What, are you saying they shouldn't? You do remember Ford vs (((Dodge))) which says that the shareholders must always be happy, right goylet?

>>1501058
>If there wasn't a demand for slaves from whites then the blacks may have not been into trading itself

Since there was a demand, the blacks did what couldn't be avoided because of the rough times

>>1501059
>couldn't be avoided
They were selling the members of conquered tribes anon.

>>1501033
Socio-economic factors.

>>1501048
>durrhurr africans have no agency
they didn't "have" to do anything you stupid faggot. when they fought battles in the countryside they enslaved and sold each other out of spite and disdain for the defeated, like people used to do in pre-christian europe. nobody forced them to do it, it was their own decision. they weren't acting out of desperation, no one made them do anything, and they literally fought to keep doing it because they saw nothing wrong with it

>>1501069
I am trying to understand. So tribes were fighting amongst themselves and then handing over their counterparts to the whites for money?

>>1501072
Yes. And selling to locals too. Slavery has been a thing for uncountable time in Africa, niggas are being sold as slaves right now in Africa and the middle east

>>1501073
must be really nice to fuck those ebony whores whenever you want

>>1501072
When wars occurred, they would enslave the vanquished and they would sell them to slave traders.
This is how most human civilizations worked before the spread of abrahamic religions. Slavery used to be perfectly normal and it isn't true that it happened «due to the rough times». The romans used to say «Vae Victis».

>>1501075
damn learnt new things. What did they do with the women?

>>1501076
bbc rape

>>1501077
you mean blacked raw

>>1501072
Not exactly. They were selling through the slave markets in Africa run by Africans, some of the buyers were white. That’s what was happening in west Africa anyway. It’s inaccurate to assume the whites were running around catching people and enslaving them, also wrong to assume the whites were running the slave market or had anything to do with starting it up

>>1501079
So slave market market and trade was already in place and whites just happened to be around and became some of the buyers

>>1501082
Pretty much. Slavery isn’t a race based thing, whites can be enslaved equally as blacks and blacks can be slave owners too. In fact if you want to get into it racism is a only a modern concept

>>1501087
White women as slaves?

>>1501089
They tend to seek to kill themselves after slimy browns use them as such, so probably not the best idea.

>>1501097
Stop making shit up. Throughout history white women have been enslaved and not killed themselves even when their masters were brown.

Why is the party of Lincoln not condemning slavery?
Almost like a political realignment happened?

>>1501003
>make X bigger on a map
Do children no longer have access to globes in their classrooms? Do people never zoom out a digital map to make it a globe?

>>1500719
Because the Argentinian president is an sellout to Israel like much of his Evangelical voter base.

>>1501131
It’s because of the projection, even globes aren’t always so accurate because the earth isn’t perfectly round like that

>>1501003
Africa is the largest continent, Greenland isn't that large. The Mercater Project is a lie.
However, it exists because no one gives a fucking shit about Africa. The most important thinng they've done it been imperialized by China while unaware Chinese operatives were shouting about US or European imperialism.

>>1500580
>UN votes to recognise enslavement of Africans as 'gravest crime against humanity
Until they start enslaving gay people. If that could even be useful.

>>1501082
Yes, and it wasn't out of economic desperation or anything, a lot of the African kingdoms selling slaves were considered pretty much peer states until advances in firearms and colonial policies shifted the balance and got them conquered by Europe. The slave buyers weren't rolling up to shanty towns, they were going to sophisticated port cities with all the modern amenities of the time. Some Africans got very very rich by selling other Africans.

>>1501404
I mean, that's just what you did with PoWs in that time and culture.

>>1500583
The countries with the most balls, the rest are all niggers or cowards who didn't vote.

>>1501145
>like much of his Evangelical voter base.
lol, you know nothing about Argentine politics

>>1500580
I went to Reddit to see what leftists thought about this and I was surprised that they were all roasting the United Nations. It's true that the woke movement is dead
