He limits his analysis to domestic matters, and to domestic history, and only to the history of slavery itself in isolation.
That is the first problem: "...I have no doubt that in one way or another, racism, beginning with slavery, accounts for much of the aggregate difference in the lives of black and white Americans today...." DK
There are a lot of other factors, other than those of white racism, that account for the aggregate difference in the lives of black and white Americans.
Here is just one narrow line of analysis:
One might start with negro African political conflicts which created a supply and a market for negro slaves in the first place.
One can claim that that resulted merely from white colonial imperialism, but then that is an argument that would have to be made.
