Then why does US law explicitly allow slave labour? Do they blacklist themselves as well?
Yes everyone on the list is black.
How is it whataboutism if the US bans importing goods made with slave labour if they themselves make use of it? That is just hypocriticism on the US' side.
The discussion is about US sanctions
The comment was about Chinese factories
It doesn't take attention away in this case. If the US is like, "hey, don't use slavery in your factories", it's a massive hypocritical statement. Especially considering the 13th amendment allows slavery for criminal convictions.
It's a clear point of stating, "bro, WTF you gettin' on my ass about slavery when you're using it right fucking now!"
You said the secret word!
