Yes, but slavery was almost never based on race. Hell, the whole concept of race as we think of it wasn't being developed until the 1700s. Most slaves were people who were conquered by another nation.
And I agree that blacks (I am white, fyi) need to pick themselves up, but we are not giving them all of the tools that they need in order to do so.
We live in a society that is still in the process of geting over racism.
