All Europeans were slaves? My what history have you read..?
Every body has some ancestor that was a slave if you go back far enough. So what?
The difference between Europeans, and (presumably) the American black people you are describing, is they are almost all descended from slaves.
And not in some "I went on genealogy.com, and looked back 25 generatiions and found out I had a relative that was a Sumerian slave owned by the Babylonians"... Who cares.
No, Americans have a much more immediate "my great-great grandfather was a slave, and here's a photo of him being lynched" sort of relationship with slavery.
The affect of slavery upon Europeans is not directly linked to their current socio-economic performance. At least as it regards to their neighbors, and countrymen.
Slavery occurred so long ago in Europe, and in such an utterly alien form to that which happened in the U.S, that any comparison of the sort is plainly stupid. If I steal all your daddies land, put him out of business whatever no private education for you, tough. Immediate result. If I steal your great great great grandaddies land thirty generations ago, and do it for 10 generations, maybe you still get to go to private school. Cos time has a way for balancing things out. A revolution, a war... no more disenfranchisement.
Nothing has upset the racial apple cart in the U.S since slavery, except a few social policies.
Another key difference between ancient slavery or Europeans, and the sort visited upon Africans shipped to America, is the culture of racism that served to maintain it. No one was going to (actually) enslave the Irish in 1800, because they were white. The differences were cultural, and ethnic in ancient slavery, racial slavery on the scale. It's a bit different today for those descendants of slaves that don't look like the Irish, or Greeks, or whoever accepted by the media as 'white'.
For those 'trivial' four hundreds years you quote, their ancestors had been scientifically determined to be less than human and more like apes. They had no material wealth, and their culture had been obliterated and reformed. That takes some time to overcome.
Maybe in a few thousand years they will be able to be as arrogant and obtuse to the effects of slavery as you are.
