Which part of the constitution speaks specifically about or lays out the ground rules for treating slaves. Where in the constitution are slaves or slave owners mentioned. How is the constitution specifically against slaves or any race?

Where in the constitution are slaves or slave owners mentioned.

Two places. The clause that allows congress to abolish the slave trade after 1808, and Article IV, Section 2 which deals with fugitive slaves.

But they don't use the word "slave", but they are clearly talking about slaves.
