Guilt is not transitive. If it were, we'd all bear guilt for any crimes committed by those with whom we do business, or by those who do business with whom we do business, etc.
Are you guilty for the theft committed by the state when it taxes people without their consent? Especially when you advocate such theft, and deny that it's theft? That's a far bigger crime than slavery, because it affects far more people, and the amount of wealth stolen is far larger. Do you support reparations for the crime of "taxation"?
"Most people agree that slavery is immoral. But what makes it so? Slavery denies a person the right to use his property (body) and the fruits of his labor the way he sees fit. Slavery forcibly uses one person to serve the purposes of another. Tragically, most Americans, including blacks, whose ancestors have suffered from gross property right violations, think it quite proper that one person be forcibly used to serve the purposes of another." - Walter E. Williams
We need to own-up to the fact that slavery existed.
And just who do you think is failing to own up to that? Certainly not me and my family, who have a long history of being abolitionists.
That is the first step in rejecting the notion that the Egyptian pyramids should be torn down or removed to another location.

You are to be congratulated.
