It would seem that way. Some say systemic racism. Some would even appeal to racism to say black people are somehow innately immoral. The latter is dumb and the former is oversimplifying a complex problem which does include historical racism, but also involves cultural factors and the unintended consequences of public policy. I'd suggest reading Thomas Sowell's Black Rednecks and White Liberals for more nuance.
