Oh, I see, you're one of those types, although you didn't explicitly state it, you're tiptoeing the line
.The old “Black people owned slaves too, so stop tryna make the White man look like the devil that he is and America being his hell” rhetoric makes me question if you're even Black.
See, this is what Malcolm X warned Black people about in becoming too patriotic, where you can't acknowledge and/or hold those accountable for the evil deeds committed by a nation in which one resides. I'm not gonna keep wasting my time with you because it's clear you're being dishonest and purposely oblivious to obfuscate America (specifically, White people) from accountability and responsibility to do right for the Black people of this nation.
Last but not least, if there are Black people from around the world who genuinely want to help improve the lives of Black Americans and/or help us fight for justice, let them. I'm not too good or think my shyt don't stink where I can't accept and appreciate the help, whether you or others want to believe it or not, but Black Americans can't fight the power (America/CACs) alone. We need allies, friends, etc.
We can't do it alone, we don't have the power, numbers, or the necessary means to fight this system, it helps to have people watching your back, looking out for you, speaking in your behalf when you feel like your voice isn't being heard or taken seriously, etc so you don't become overpowered and walked all over, which is what CACs have been doing to Black Americans since day 1, and counting. White people took notice of this whole UN ordeal. Black Americans having allies and support from across the world is something they don't want to see because the more people who stand behind us, the more problematic it gets for them to keep taking advantage of us and laughing in our face.

Have you read the actual statement in full? Snip:The US:
and,
UN votes to recognise enslavement of Africans as 'gravest crime against humanity'
The landmark resolution calls for an apology and contributions to a reparations fund, without specifying an amount.www.bbc.com
The United States has defined, long-standing objections to the framing of “reparatory justice” and the “duty of reparation” for historical wrongs. While we acknowledge the horrors of the past, we do not accept this resolution’s assertion that historical facts from the 15th through 19th centuries constitute violations of jus cogens as that term is understood in contemporary international law. The United States also does not recognize a legal right to reparations for historical wrongs that were not illegal under international law at the time they occurred.
Explanation of Vote for UNGA Resolution "Declaration of the Trafficking of Enslaved Africans and Racialised Chattel Enslavement of Africans as the Gravest Crime Against Humanity"
They do not care about none of this acronym/i hate africans bullshyt yall keep trying to kick as the "solution". They just told the entire world that all that diaspora warring and forced patriotism is for nothing, and some how yall are still gonna be hollering about "tethers"... If that's yalls prerogative at this point then by all means have at it, but its objectively clear to all watching that you've detached from reality in favor of idealism.
When you have to make things up such as:
(1) ".../I hate Africans bullshyt y'all keep trying to kick as the solution"
(2) Operating under the assumption that we, FBA, care what the ambassador said.
you show yourself as being disingenuous.
- I never said I hate Africans
- You asked me what the position of the US was and whether I agreed with it. I never brought up the position of the current administration. And I don't care about their position.
You don't have to "say" anything, its the actions. Ghana points out the active erasure of our history/global accountability for slavery and the claws are out.... The US sent out a damn ROMANIAN immigrant, Dan Negrea, to tell the world we've never supported reparations and slavery wasn't illegal so it doesn't count to us (and it shouldn't count to you either) and... you don't careWhen you have to make things up such as:

If you want to argue with phantasms, there's AI for that.

Again, your prerogative but the jig is officially up these acronyms, the 
delineation they're supposedly all about, etc

thinking we can't see an obvious finess is hilarious, then trying to browbeat us into blinding ourselves to it is even more hilarious.

Without insults of deflection, what are your thoughts on the European countries that colonized African countries remaining silent? What are your thoughts on countries that still practice slavery saying yes? Can you see how the victory lap looks a little bit crazy?

I expected them to be silent or vote no. They will never willingly give us reparations because it carries too many political and financial implications.
As for the hypocritical countries that still practice modern slavery, this is a good moment. Now that they acknowledged how horrible the trans-Atlantic slavery was, they've actually established a standard to hold them by. So I don't see their vote as empty, because it creates an opportunity for the international community to hold them to the fire.
