Let he who is without sin cast he first stone!
And legacy black peoples of America aren’t necessarily simon pure here. Bad old African culture was to take vengeance on other tribes by taking slaves. At one point their ancestors were losers in such games and hence were brought other places or here. But prior to that might they have been “winners”?
I hope this fuss about slavery results in an earnest dialogue about what it is to be free. Certainly it can’t mean the government owns you any more than it means a private citizen can own you.
