My best friend's family arrived here as free people of color back in the late 1700s-early 1800s. None of his relatives were ever slaves. I think this is more common than people realize, and yeah, I think it's seriously misleading to assume that just because a person's of African descent that their ancestors ever shared the enslavement experience.
