Slaves

Hello HK, I always enjoy getting your emails. As someone who seems to know quite a bit about history, what can you tell me about the stories of black female slaves being raped by white masters? I recently watched Roots for the first time and that miniseries portrayed some instances of slave rape, but I am led to wonder if it happened as much as we are told it did, or if perhaps it ever may have been consensual between black women and white men. All I do know is that the liberal media loves to throw around stories of interracial rape whenever it comes time to talk about reparations from the evil white man.

I do not doubt some instances of rape occurred, but history seems to tell some stories of actual relationships that formed between black women and white men during a time when miscegenation was outlawed. I even read somewhere that most of the race mixing happened after Lincoln had his war, not before as is commonly thought. If you can further enlighten me on this subject, or direct me to some good resources on the matter, it would be appreciated.

Dear Jason,

It appears to me that you have just about nailed the issue as I am aware of it.There was more instances of rape by Lincoln's men than anything I ever heard or read about this time in history. contact the Honorable Kirk D. Lyons on the subject matter, kdl@slrc-csa.org

Your brother,
