White people have been slaves in the past. Obviously It is immaterial though. The poor African-Americans today have not been literally slaves. They are poor African-Americans. Same as poor Americans of any race. It isn't any more fair they are poor than it is fair that another American of any race is poor. Neither of them did anything to deserve what they were born into. Just like someone did not deserve to be born rich either and have that head start. It is why we should eliminate this via a better taxing of estates upon death.

What caused you to possibly be poor has no matter on the fact that you were born poor. It sucks regardless of the reasons.
