Description

123 countries said yes. The United States said no. The United Nations passed a resolution recognizing the transatlantic slave trade as a crime against humanity, backed by 123 countries. The United States was one of only three nations to vote against it, placing it in direct opposition to a global consensus. The resolution also strengthens the push for reparations tied to the lasting impact of slavery. The discussion underscores how that history continues to shape present-day systems and demands for justice. 🔥 123 countries vote to recognize slavery as a crime against humanity 🔥 United States among just three nations to vote against the resolution 🔥 Resolution tied to growing global push for reparations 🔥 Lasting impact of slavery remains central to the debate 🔥 Moral and political stakes continue to rise worldwide 🔥 “to be neutral between right and wrong is to serve wrong” 🔥 “slavery has an afterlife” #RolandMartinUnfiltered #BlackStarNetwork #Slavery #Reparations #UnitedNations We’ve launched our official Telegram channel.

Those that DID NOT VOTE YES, VOTED NO. Even if they abstained. LACK of humanity is beyond exhausting.
