Maybe I'm missing something, but the people involved are all dead now.
Look, there are definitely societal issues around race in the US. There are inequities, there are discrepancies in treatment, and there are institutional carry-overs that disproportionately affect some classes of people.
But to call it PTSD caused by slavery really stretches the meaning of all the words in that sentence. We can discuss the effects and the problems without needing to resort to hyperbole.
