And if there's not time limit, how far back should we go? How many priceless Renaissance era fine art paintings could we destroy because the artists may have been racist?

Maybe we should demolish the pyramids since they may have used slave labor to build them.

Maybe we shouldn't have museum exhibits of the egyptian mummies either. Those kings were all slave owners and we're memorializing them by turning them into traveling exhibits that people pay good money and line up to see.

The Mesopotamian Code of Hammurabi is on display in the Louvre but it describes slaves being worth half that of free men. It's time we stop displaying such bigotry.
