Something I am wondering about slave rape.

1. Couldn't at least SOME of the Southern states make sex with slaves and whites illegal? Slavery is supposed to be about doing WORK (running farm, chores etc). Sex slavery is something different. Why not pass a law that even though you "own" slaves there are a few things that are still illegal (like sex with them). Just because you own something does not mean you can do ANYTHING you want. I own my car but I still have to pass smog tests and there are rules as to how I can drive it for example.

2. I never hear about this but did MALE slaves ever get raped? In prison rape is more about power and control than it is about the sex and often male inmates will rape small weaker men to show their dominance. I never hear about it but there must have been slave owners who raped their male slaves for this reason (or because they were homosexual themselves).

3. Something that REALLY worries me is a pedophile slave owner could just get a bunch of child slaves and when they get older sell them but in the interim get away with being a child molester, scary thought.

Why does it repeatedly seem to be so hard for you to wrap your head around the incredibly twisted psychology behind intentionally creating a random and bizarre subcategory of humans called N----RS. And that it was not JUST done for the purpose of profit? But much more so, with an eye toward the systematic and total dehumanization, of every possible aspect of black existence, period? To not just profit off of them, but to absolutely, unequivocally destroy them psychologically, and mercilessly force them to submit to their God-ordained role as far less than JUST slaves -- utter non-humans? And that, that mission was institutionally carried out by way of every possible member of Southern society reminding them, and violently showing them, in all possible ways, and at all possible times, just how far below actual humans they were (strictly because of their "cursed" black skin)? Such that, your notion of treating them ONLY like the other farm animals would have been FAR too merciful, and would not have been nearly enough of a psychological message. Because they couldn't JUST be told and shown that they were simply like the other animals. Much more importantly, they HAD to have it endlessly reinforced how much they were NOT EVER going to be allowed to even think of themselves as humans, in any possible way. Thus, necessitating the reinforcement of far worse cruelty and (especially) psychological torture than any farm animal would EVER be forced to endure!

Now, about the whole rape thing... I wonder where THAT concept would fit in with a mindset that was intent on utter dehumanization and psychological torture for ALL Africans??? Hmmmm???

No man lies so boldly as the man who is indignant.
