So nepotism = good morals?

You pray everyone can make the choice freely and not be coerced into a decision they did not want. Let's pretend that your family is from the USA and has been the beneficiary of slave labor, that without slavery, your family would not have the generational wealth that it has been able to pass onto you. Do you pray for these slaves also and do you also want them to not be coerced into making money for you?

Every government on earth since the beginning of time is not without injustice. The Aztecs enslaved and brutally dominated their region which is how the Spanish were able to conquer them - the enemies of the Aztecs joined forces with the Spanish in order to destroy a society they saw as a great evil.

The African slaves themselves were sold to the slavers by African kings, such as in Benin, who profited from the export of their enemies.

Where do you want the self flagellation to end? Injustice has been happening since the beginning of civilization.
