No it doesn't. There would still be slavery if people didn't say this is unacceptable. It's not ok for anyone to have slaves. By definition it infringes on other peoples free will to do what they want to etc...
You are missing the nuance that is in statements where people are demanding tolerance.
Open-mindedness has its limits. That's why slavery isn't still generally accepted because it's unacceptable. It's perfectly ok to be closed off to some things.
What s progressive about racism and homophobia and sexism?
