No, that wouldn't be fair and that's the point. The House today isn't responsible for the government decision long time ago making it okay for Whites to own slaves. Also, you have to remember that some Whites actually fought to help many Blacks escape slavery. It's sort of a reflection today that some Whites thought slavery was wrong while some still think slavery was a great thing.
