That whole omnipotence thing kinda wipes away nuance. He could have made slavery a sin; he didn't. He could've taught humans that slavery is wrong; he didn't.

I guess American slave-owners missed the memo. Anyhow, that doesn't explain why your god apparently thinks slavery is acceptable in the first place.

Why do you insist on explaining your perfectly-good god's morality by using human examples?
Your god can allegedly do anything, except, apparently, teach us humans that slavery is wrong. Hey, if you're okay with that, great.
As for the discussion about exploitation of labor, if you want something from someone, you generally need to offer them something in return. Of course that's ripe for abuse by exploitation, which happens often enough, but the idea that lunch is free is unrealistic.
