Aside from my disbelief in non-arbitrary morality, I would suggest that little has changed. The US invasion of Iraq is about empire and resources--it's not OK to say so openly, and many will not admit it, but it is true. You can still buy and sell people all over the world. Actual political power in the US is limited mostly to the rich, which often correlates with white. And you can still go and kill people for fun (see aforementioned invasion of Iraq, for one example.) Who knows how many people in 1807 truly opposed such behavior? Who knows how many do so today?
