The people who were slaves were dealt a horribly bad hand. They were not just unlucky they were also victims of an inhumane crime.
Their present-day descendants don't have it as bad but they are still dealt a comparatively bad hand in terms of access to wealth education and opportunity. They are a minority that is being oppressed. The fact that their ancestors had it much worse doesn't change the fact that they are dealt a bad hand. Now, maybe people who live in Africa today are even worse off. But reasons for that are a different discussion.
I'm trying to pinpoint the logical flaw in your question. I think it is that you are comparing the circumstances of blacks who live in America with blacks who live in Africa. That's the hidden (presumably unintentional) racism in your question. You should be comparing the situation of blacks to situation of whites, not blacks vs. other blacks.
