The reality of the situation is just not as black and white as you are making it seem.
So do you feel you personally benefit from slavery here in the US? Do You owe your current wealth, career, and status to slavery?
The reality is no one can go back in time and change things. Our lives are what we make out of them. It certainly sucks for anyone who got dealt a bad deal. But over history bad deals have been dealt across the bird at one time or another.
