Yesterday, a Declaration of the trafficking of enslaved Africans and Racialized Chattel Enslavement of Africans as the Gravest Crime against Humanity was voted at UNO. As usual, Israel and the USA voted against. How did your country vote? Any thoughts about it?
So now, there's layers on suffering.
The ones that died on manmade famines, the ones that died on slavery (not chattel), the holocaust, the ones that got tortured by isis, etc... Didn't endure enough suffering.
bro the african slave trade was ongoing for centuries. what the fuck are you on about??
So it's about the duration?

There's even youtube videos os merchants buying slaves in the 60's.
Maybe you need to learn history from historians and not from tiktoks
your rebuttal is another example of the african slave trade? am i misunderstanding something?
yes. It's another example of african slave trade that lasted long and slaved more people than the chattel slavery. Yet it's not considered the gravest. A valid rebuttal for:
Gravest crime against humanity is not the same as the most suffering caused. It is not just number of people that suffered either.
So it's about what? Can you explain? Because there's no metric whatsoever that makes the chattel slavery the abhorrent behaviour with the most affected people, neither the longest one.
So please explain me what does it mean the "gravest" in this context
