What an odd objection. The sons & daughters of former slaves sure don't seem to have a problem with it.
The author of Amazing Grace, John Newton, was a slave ship captain before his conversion experience. Afterward he quit and became an opponent of the slave trade. Amazing Grace is an expression of the change that took place in him and turned him away from his occupation. Yes, even a wretch like a slave captain is not beyond redemption!
