Democrats talk about slavery all the time while keeping inner city minorities in failing public schools that don’t teach the basics like science, technology, engineering, math, English literature and history well while harping on CRT and other marxist ideology. 
There are still places in the world that have slavery. China, Mexico, North Korea and several African countries. Someone in Congress wanted to do something to impact that problem. The Democrat Leadership in the House of representatives wanted to protect the CCP and help them get more of our money.
All bills go to the Rules Committee before they are assigned to the various House committees of jurisdiction or the House floor. The Rules Committee is 100% controlled by the Speaker of the House and that is Democrat Leader Nancy Pelosi.
