Nothing is wrong with slavery. It is just how you treat people is the issue. Whether a person is a slave or not everyone deserves a certain amount of respect-- when they act as decent people.
And when people do bad things they don't deserve respect--no matter if they are slaves or not.

And no one thinks slavery is bad. No one objects to making white people work for black people without getting paid. That is white people are forced to give black people free food  [food stamps] and free health care etc. White people in the USA are however not exactly slaves to black people. They are more like serfs that have to work  several days a week for their black bosses. That is if they work a whole years several months are spent working for black people with no compensation.
Some divorced women have no problem in using their children as tools to make their husbands into slaves.
As Steven Dutch put it: The Issue is never the issue.
