Ah yes. Whataboutism. Right on schedule. Yes, slavery exists and existed in other places. No doubt, slavery has existed for hundreds of thousands of years in one form or another. But we are talking about the US and the entities that formed it. How good or bad it was in other places and other times is pretty irrelevant.

But very few people alive today have real ties to slavery.

A lot of wealth was created by slavery. Are you saying that all of it evaporated? Or was it laundered by time?
