You are confusing my point.
Wild Cobra said he isn't racist because "there are black people in my life"
Yeah. Slave owners had black people in their life too, so technically they can make the same exact claim. "I ain't racist, I know black people personally!"
We don't know exactly in what context WC's relationship with black people is. For all we know, he owns his own company, and he has a black person underneath him as an employee. Perfect fit for a racist.
To answer your question though, since you wanted to derail the point, yes, all slave owners were racist.
I will predict your next move though. If you own slaves, it doesn't make you less of a racist if you fight for blacks to have some rights. In the end, you are still a racist who just has a soft side for them.
Kind of like dogs. People don't see dogs as equal to humans, but we will protect them and throw them a biscuit.
Still racist.
