No. Many people become confused with that because the Sickle Cell trait is most common in Africa where the population is more black than any other race.
Sickle cell is common in people from tropical areas where malaria is prevalent. Malaria can not survive on blood cells that are sickle shaped, so when populations were being killed off by malaria, those with sickle cell were surviving and passing on the sickle cell gene.
Sickle cell anemia provides resistance to malaria - it is ideal for many people in Africa that live in mosquito rampant areas.
