"BULLSHIT!"
It is ridiculous to claim it is not appropriate to celebrate the end of innocent people being bought and sold like animals just because we continue to punish convicted criminals. I think it is highly offensive to lump the innocent people who endured chattel slavery into the same group with convicted criminals being punished for a crime.
Many people of color, especially those in academia, would disagree with your assertion. To label an honest and nuanced conversation about the subject as "BULLSHIT" seems a very narrow-minded and insensitive dismissal.
