I don't have strong feelings one way or another, with one exception: why in the hell did anyone think it was okay to own a person and why the fuck did it continue for as long as it did?

That's seriously fucked up.

I'm not a person of color, so I don't think my opinion matters much in the discussion. Black history is just a part of the history of humanity. It should not be erased, it should be viewed as a lesson, like most of the rest of history.

Because it made them a lot of money. You can go back to any point in history and find people saying slavery is immoral, and not just the enslaved people.
