The Untold Abuse Of Black Male Slaves By White Women
Some Slaves Were Even Gifted To Girls As Their Property
White women were not passive bystanders to the slave economy. They were co-conspirators. They bought, sold, and owned slaves. In fact, about 40% of the slave owners were white women. The more slaves a woman had, the more power she held.
Parents gave their daughters more enslaved people than land. So, to a white southern woman, owning slaves became tied to her very identity. This is the true story of how white women treated their black slaves.
Slavery in the U.S. lasted for more than 400 years. And in that time, the system shaped generations and generations of people. A system that created this psychological distortion.
White people dominated the country. They created a violent and oppressive system to terrorize the Black community. They used lynchings, beatings, and savage treatment to torment the masses. Even when there wasn’t violence, there was segregation.
Communities, housing, and the criminal justice system used discriminatory policies. Racism pervaded all aspects of American society. White families gained huge amounts of material benefits and privileges from this racial hierarchy.
