So do nothing then. WDGAS if all you do is virtue signal.

Africans invented slavery then sold their family members into it. Yet our media acts like only Americans participated in it.
It wasn't just Africans. The Arab Slave trade ran rampant for centuries. Both found willing buyers in England, France, Portugal, Spain, and eventually the US

Then what do you want me to do about it? You keep using vague language but saying nothing tangible about what people should do.
There's nothing vague about my language at all - Jim Crow was a horrible blight on living Americans. If you wanted to do something, maybe go try to talk to some of those folks about their experiences with it. Try to empathize with their worldview (which could be vastly different than yours) instead of pissing on it.

Why aren’t the pyramids coming down?
They weren't built by slaves.

To find it, we must look at the Egyptian records in another way and take up a vital clue in the Book of Exodus, Chapter 1 verse 14, where it says that the Egyptians made the lives of the Children of Israel “bitter with hard service in mortar and in brick....”
Later we learn that the Israelites had to make mudbricks without even having the necessary straw given to them.
In other words, the Children of Israel were unskilled or semi-skilled makers of, and workers in, mudbrick. They could well have made millions of bricks out of the Nile mud, but then, what is it that they built with them? They did not build the pyramids, or any temples or palaces as these were all built with stone. And the peasants’ houses, which were made of mudbrick, were built by the fellahin themselves. So what project needed millions of bricks and thousands of mudbrick-layers? The Bible tells us that there were six hundred thousand Israelite adult males at the Exodus, but even if there were only 6,000 or 600, what project needed so many mudbrick-layers? There was indeed only one project that we know of that was so large and built in mudbrick, and that was the city of Akhetaten, which was later called el-Amarna.

Yeah right.
The aztecs didn't believe in sacrifices or slavery either, they were just trying to trick future historians through art.

Who has the money? Even if it’s on credit.

Slaves for sacrifice
The Annual customs of Dahomey was the most notorious example of the human sacrifice of slaves, where 500 prisoners would be sacrificed. Sacrifices were carried out all along the West African coast and further inland. Sacrifices were common in the Benin Empire, in what is now Ghana, and in the small independent states in what is now southern Nigeria.
