No. Not as long as you do lots of research first to make sure your facts are accurate.

I don't think so. There is research and some people have great empathy. Uncle Tom's Cabin is a good example, don't you think? Besides, how would any black in the USA be able to write it any better if they were not a slave?

Would it be any less poor taste for a modern, middleclass black person to write the same? What does a modern person of ANY race know about the hardships of slavery?

It would be no worse and possibly more accurate than Alex Haley's 'Roots', which mostly consisted of of lies and plagiarism.
Most people don't know that he stole a lot of material, was sued
and lost.

not at all, as long as it was written as fiction. That is what writing fiction is about, making things up.
