Ghana’s President John Mahama has received the African Union’s backing in pushing the United Nations to recognize transatlantic slavery as the ‘gravest crime against humanity.’
There is broad historical consensus that the transatlantic slave trade between the 15th and 19th centuries, which involved the kidnapping, enslavement and transport of millions of Africans to the Americas and the Caribbean, was one of the biggest tragedies in human history.



Yeah, and you’re saying that the forced relocation and genocide of African people where they were then forced into chattel slavery doesn’t compare. Bro, why the fuck are you playing this game, dude?
Cause what they are doing is using well known racist dog whistles.
