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?

Always about money. It's a shame it draws attention away from the 50 million living people who exist in modern slavery today.

It's not about money, either. The USA doesn't give a fuck about international law. It's been like this at least from the WWII to date. They could have voted yes, and then keep giving three fucks about reparations. If anything, it does draw attention to modern slavery.
