Introduction: The Long Shadow of the Ledger

Every week, I sit down to write this column, and every week, I receive a handful of messages from readers telling me that I am “prolonging racism” by continuing to talk about it. They suggest that if I simply stopped pointing out the fire, the house would somehow stop burning. They ask for “colorblindness,” as if ignoring the paint on the walls changes the structural integrity of the foundation.

But this week, a vote at the United Nations forced us to look at the foundation. It revealed a global, clinical logic that I call the Legality of Inhumanity—the idea that if a horror was once sanctioned by the state, it is exempt from moral accountability today. To see how this high-level diplomacy translates to our own streets, we don’t have to look back centuries. We only have to look back a decade. By juxtaposing a 2026 global resolution with a 2015 incident at a Lowe’s in Virginia, we see that the architecture of denial isn’t just a historical relic; it is the operating system of our modern world.

The High Hall: A Vote Against History

On March 25, 2026, the United Nations General Assembly Hall erupted in applause. In a historic 123-3 vote, the body adopted a resolution declaring the transatlantic slave trade and racialized chattel slavery as the “gravest crime against humanity.” For the first time at this level, the world formally acknowledged that the “chattelization” of human beings was the definitive break in world history that birthed our modern racial capitalist system.

Yet, as the applause faded, the tally on the screen told a different story. The United States, alongside Israel and Argentina, cast a “No” vote. The defense offered by Deputy U.S. Ambassador Dan Negrea was a masterclass in clinical denial. He stated that the U.S. “does not recognize a legal right to reparations for historical wrongs that were not illegal under international law at the time they occurred.”

This is the Legality of Inhumanity. It suggests that if the state signs a paper saying your life is a line item, then your suffering is legally invisible. It implies that justice is not an inherent human right, but a gift that the state can choose to withhold based on the fine print of a centuries-old ledger.

The Front Porch: The Law of the Customer

To understand how this logic manifests in our neighborhoods, we look to August 2015. Marcus Bradley, an 11-year veteran delivery driver for Lowe’s in Danville, Virginia, was pulled from his route. A customer had called and explicitly requested that no Black person step onto her property.

The manager didn’t see the request as a moral emergency. He didn’t defend the dignity of his veteran employee. He called Bradley and told him to turn the truck around. When the customer was later asked about her demand, she hid behind the same shield the U.S. Ambassador used this week: “The Right.” She told reporters, “I got a right to have whatever I want and that’s it.”

In her mind, her “right” as a consumer—her personal “law” of the marketplace—superseded Marcus Bradley’s humanity. The Ambassador uses International Law to protect the national treasury; the customer uses “Customer Rights” to protect her prejudice. They are speaking the same dialect of denial.

The Normalization of the Absurd

There is a deeper psychological rot here that we must address. If that customer had called and said, “I don’t want a driver who is over six feet tall,” or “I don’t want a driver with blue eyes,” the manager would have seen the ridiculousness of the request. He would have recognized it as a bizarre, irrational whim that no business could—or should—honor.

But when she said she didn’t want a Black person, the manager didn’t find it “ridiculous.” He might not have agreed with her, but on some subconscious level, he understood her. In his mind, her racism was a “valid” preference that needed to be managed to save a sale.

This is the core of the problem: In America, discriminating because of color is still not seen as egregious as other forms of absurdity. It is accepted as “just the way of things.” This is why the U.S. cannot bring itself to call slavery a “grave” crime, and why 52 nations (including the UK and much of the EU) chose to abstain from the vote. To them, the global hierarchy that puts Black lives at the bottom is so normalized that they view an attempt to label it a “crime” as a radical inconvenience rather than a moral necessity.

The Economic Instinct: Liability over Liberty

The U.S. government isn’t afraid of a history lesson; they are afraid of an invoice. The UN resolution explicitly links the “crime against humanity” label to reparatory justice. By refusing the label, the U.S. is practicing Liability Management. They are acting as defense attorneys for a bank account built on 400 years of stolen labor.

The Lowe’s manager acted on the same survivalist instinct: “Keep the sale.” In a capitalist system, the fear of a lost sale outweighs the obligation to protect an employee’s soul. The institution calculated that the easiest way to balance the books was to erase the Black man from the equation. This is the Economics of Exclusion. It treats Black humanity as an “operating cost” that must be minimized to ensure the comfort of the “paying” population.

The “Colorblind” Gaslight

To the readers who tell me I am “prolonging racism”: look at the tally. Look at the Virginia driveway.

I am not the one who made the UN vote about race; the U.S. government did when they decided that the “legal” rights of 18th-century enslavers were more important than the “human” rights of 21st-century descendants. I am not the one who made the delivery about race; the customer did when she looked at a veteran employee and saw only a color she wanted to exclude.

You ask me to be “colorblind,” but you are asking me to be blind to the very ledger the world is using to calculate my worth. When you tell me to “move on,” you are asking me to accept a status quo where “Legality” is a shield for “Inhumanity.”

We don’t prolong a fire by pointing at the smoke. We prolong it by pretending the house isn’t burning while the inhabitants are still trapped inside.

A Call to Action: Citizen or Customer?

We have reached a point where we must decide what kind of society we actually want to be. Are we a nation of Customers, where our only “right” is the right to have what we want, regardless of who is crushed in the process? Or are we a nation of Citizens, where our primary obligation is to uphold the inherent dignity of every person?

Here is my challenge to you this week:

1. Audit the “Rights” you claim. The next time you say “I have a right to…” ask yourself if that right requires the erasure or exclusion of someone else’s humanity.
2. Reject the “Liability” Defense. Stop accepting “it’s too expensive” as an excuse for avoiding justice. Justice is never a “cost”—it is an investment in our collective survival.
3. Support the Record. Don’t look away. Read the history that the U.S. government tried to vote into non-existence this week. Acknowledge that the “Decade of Reparations” (2026-2036) isn’t about a handout; it’s about a settlement for a debt that has been accruing interest for four centuries.

I will keep writing. I will keep pointing at the fire. Not because I want to see the house burn, but because I believe we are still capable of building something better—if only we have the courage to admit that the foundation is currently on fire.

Glossary of Terms

• Chattel Slavery: A specific form of enslavement where the enslaved person is legally considered the personal property (chattel) of the owner and can be bought, sold, and inherited.
• Crimes Against Humanity: Widespread or systematic attacks directed against any civilian population, with knowledge of the attack. As of March 2026, the UN explicitly includes the transatlantic slave trade in this definition.
• Economics of Exclusion: A system where discriminatory practices are maintained or ignored because they are perceived to be more “profitable” or “efficient” than the alternative of justice.
• Legality of Inhumanity: The rhetorical and legal defense that an atrocity cannot be punished or repaired if it was considered “legal” under the laws of the perpetrators at the time it occurred.
• Liability Management: In a political context, the strategy of avoiding specific language or legal admissions (like “crime”) to prevent future financial obligations, such as reparations.
• Reparatory Justice: A process that seeks to rectify the systemic harms of the past through a combination of financial restitution, institutional reform, and formal apologies.

Belarus, Burkina Faso, DPR ("North") Korea, Mali, Nicaragua, Niger, Russia, and Sudan voted against the resolution; with many others abstaining.

Notable abstention comes from the US, who brought in the original resolution, but apparently did not like the result after the above two EU amendments.

It's good to see #Europe is getting more self-confident.

I'm also glad to see #Switzerland on the "Yeah" side.

After failing several times, the members of the UN Security Council were able to reach a compromise and adopt a resolution on November 15, almost 40 days after the Israeli war began on October 7, demanding “urgent and extended” humanitarian “pauses” in Gaza: https://press.un.org/en/2023/sc15496.doc.htm

However, as was expected, Israel refused to implement it. Instead it negotiated a deal with Palestinian resistance movement Hamas under Qatar’s mediation and agreed to halt its offensives in Gaza for four days in exchange of hostages.

Israel’s refusal to implement the UN resolution is in line with its record in the last seven decades of completely disregarding the international laws and undermining the mandate of multilateral global institutions.

In Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza since October 7, over 14,100 Palestinians have been killed and more than 30,000 have been injured. Most of the killed, over 70% of them are children, women, and elderly.

The indiscriminate bombing of the besieged Palestinian territory has destroyed almost all of its civilian infrastructure, including the hospitals and water supply, and displaced over 70% of its population.

Weeks before the Security Council adopted a limited and partial resolution, on October 27, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. Despite the fact that over 120 countries voted in favor of the resolution, Israel’s reaction to it was an arrogant dismissal.

Israeli representative to the UN Gilad Erdan questioned the legitimacy of the global body and referred to the day of resolution’s adoption as a “dark day” in history. He openly vowed that Israel would continue its bombing operations in Gaza despite the resolution asking otherwise: https://press.un.org/en/2023/sc15496.doc.htm

UN resolutions on the Israeli occupation

Ever since November 29, 1947 when it adopted its infamous partition resolution, calling for the establishment of the state of Israel, UN bodies have adopted hundreds of other resolutions focusing on the right to self determination and other rights of the Palestinian people: https://www.un.org/unispal/document/auto-insert-185393/

In 1948 after the Nakba, when over 750,000 Palestinians were forced out of their homes, villages, and farms, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 194 (III) establishing the right of all Palestinian refugees to return: https://www.securitycouncilreport.org/atf/cf/%7B65BFCF9B-6D27-4E9C-8CD3-CF6E4FF96FF9%7D/IP%20ARES%20194.pdf

One of the architects of this resolution was the UN-appointed mediator Count Folke Bernadotte. He was assassinated by the Zionist militia shortly before the resolution was adopted in December 1948. The newly formed Israeli state let go of all the major accused in his assassination: https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20230917-remembering-the-assassination-of-count-bernadotte/

The landmark UN Security Council Resolution 242 was adopted on 22 November 1967 asking Israel to withdraw its forces from the territories it occupied during the so-called June war: https://peacemaker.un.org/sites/peacemaker.un.org/files/SCRes242%281967%29.pdf

Israel remains the occupier of the Palestinian territories, namely West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza and Syrian Golan till date.

Israel went ahead and illegally annexed occupied East Jerusalem and Golan in 1980 and 1981 respectively and built illegal settlements and other permanent structures in all these territories.

In 1973, after another war with Arab states, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 338 on October 22. Apart from asking for immediate ceasefire in the war, the UNSC also reiterated its Resolution 242 adopted in 1967 demanding complete Israeli withdrawal from all occupied territories.

A year later, in 1974, the UN General Assembly adopted yet another Resolution 3236 (XXIX) which reaffirmed the inalienable rights of Palestinian people to self determination, their national independence and sovereignty, and the right of Palestinians to return to their homes and properties: https://www.un.org/unispal/data-collection/general-assembly/#:~:text=In%201974%2C%20the%20question%20of,to%20their%20homes%20and%20property.

In the context of the ongoing Madrid peace conference in 1994 the General Assembly adopted another resolution (49/132) calling all Israeli settlements inside the occupied Palestinian territories as illegal and an obstacle to social and economic development of the Palestinians: https://www.un.org/unispal/document/auto-insert-186775/

Israel refused to take note of the resolution and despite signing a peace accord with the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) in Oslo affirming a “two-state solution,” continued to expand the number of illegal settlements inside the Palestinian territories.

Israel refused to abide by the 2003 General Assembly Resolution 10/13 which called its construction of a separation wall, known as apartheid wall in the occupied West Bank, as illegal and a violation of existing international law: https://www.un.org/unispal/document/auto-insert-178128/

The General Assembly has taken up the issue of Israeli blockade of Gaza several times in its resolutions since 2006 when it was first imposed. The UN resolutions call the need of adequate and constant supply of essentials as basic needs of all Palestinians and note the deleterious effects of the blockade on Palestinians in Gaza: https://www.unicef.org/mena/documents/gaza-strip-humanitarian-impact-15-years-blockade-june-2022

Israeli violation of UN resolutions has been the norm

Ever since its formation in May 1948, Israel has not followed any of the UN resolutions on Palestine and the occupied territories, whether passed by the General Assembly or the Security Council.

The resolutions passed by the General Assembly are non-enforceable whereas the resolutions passed by the Security Council are legally binding. Countries can face repercussions if they fail to abide by the resolutions in the form of sanctions or even actual armed interventions.

However, the innumerable resolutions recognizing Palestinian right to self-determination and the humanitarian situation in occupied territories have been completely neglected: https://www.un.org/unispal/document-category/resolution/

Despite the fact that most of these resolutions identify Israel as an occupying power and admonishes it for violating Palestinian rights. it escapes penalties.

The UN has failed to take any step to make sure its resolutions are implemented by Israel.

The failure of the UN should be attributed to veto holding countries such as the US, France, and the UK standing behind Israel providing it the impunity to commit grave violations of the international laws without fear of any repercussions.

Israel refused to take note of the resolution and despite signing a peace accord with the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) in Oslo affirming a “two-state solution,” continued to expand the number of illegal settlements inside the Palestinian territories.

Israel refused to abide by the 2003 General Assembly Resolution 10/13 which called its construction of a separation wall, known as apartheid wall in the occupied West Bank, as illegal and a violation of existing international law.

The General Assembly has taken up the issue of Israeli blockade of Gaza several times in its resolutions since 2006 when it was first imposed. The UN resolutions call the need of adequate and constant supply of essentials as basic needs of all Palestinians and note the deleterious effects of the blockade on Palestinians in Gaza.

Israeli violation of UN resolutions has been the norm

Ever since its formation in May 1948, Israel has not followed any of the UN resolutions on Palestine and the occupied territories, whether passed by the General Assembly or the Security Council.

The resolutions passed by the General Assembly are non-enforceable whereas the resolutions passed by the Security Council are legally binding. Countries can face repercussions if they fail to abide by the resolutions in the form of sanctions or even actual armed interventions.

However, the innumerable resolutions recognizing Palestinian right to self-determination and the humanitarian situation in occupied territories have been completely neglected.

Despite the fact that most of these resolutions identify Israel as an occupying power and admonishes it for violating Palestinian rights. it escapes penalties.

The UN has failed to take any step to make sure its resolutions are implemented by Israel.

The failure of the UN should be attributed to veto holding countries such as the US, France, and the UK standing behind Israel providing it the impunity to commit grave violations of the international laws without fear of any repercussions.

Trotz UN- Resolution: Israel will Krieg gegen Hamas in Gaza fortsetzen

Der UN-Sicherheitsrat fordert in einer mühsam ausgehandelten Resolution mehr humanitäre Lieferungen für die Menschen im Gazastreifen. Israel kritisierte das Votum - und will am Krieg gegen die Hamas in Gaza festhalten.
