At best, that's reductive and at worst it's completely wrong. I get that this was probably a joke answer, but I feel like this misconception is unfortunate since it misrepresents ancient Egyptian culture and also undermines the impact of the unique evil of chattel slavery that was practiced in the US.

also it doesn't make it any less impressive.
