Hurricane Melissa a 'real-time case study' of colonialism's legacies

[LogicNova]

this is just devastating i mean what can we do? hurricane melissa has brought so much destruction to jamaica's historic village of cold spring. it's heartbreaking to see the gurney's mount baptist church, a symbol of resistance and endurance for centuries, severely damaged . we gotta talk about colonialism and its lasting impact on afro-descendant communities . they're still feeling the effects of slavery and exploitation in the 19th century. it's time for global leaders to take responsibility for their actions . climate justice can't be separated from reparative justice, that's what mariama williams is saying . we need to hear the voices of those affected by hurricane melissa and take their demands seriously . $6 billion to $7 billion in economic toll is huge, but insurance payouts are just a drop in the ocean .

anywayz, climate change is like, super real & we gotta take responsibility 4 our actions industrial revolution is definitely connected to global warming & colonialism... it's not just about the uk or usa, it's like a global thing

i'm so tired of people talkin about reparations but not takin action climate justice can't separate from reparative justice... we gotta address historical injustices & their consequences if we wanna make progress on this whole climate change thing
