It's no coincidence that the U.S., Israel and Argentina, as three entirely repressive regimes, have voted against condemning the trafficking of enslaved Africans and acknowledging the lasting impacts of slavery –– and that every country responsible for the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade has abstained from the vote entirely.

@majorlinux Israel will reject the relegation of the holocaust to lesser status & desperately needs Trump's favor. Argentina's president is Trump's client & desperately needs Trump's favor.
Trump is a historically ignorant monster & knows reparations talk is aimed at the US.
There are problems with the resolution & approach that makes others abstain.

@DavidPenington This isn't just a Trump problem.

This is US policy through and through.
