i feel like you dont understand the magnitude of rape? rape is…extremely bad. it’s a very bad thing to happen to you, especially by your family. saying “these women deserved the suffering they experienced because of other people’s suffering they had essentially no agency in, but benefitted from” is so fucked up
“WHITE WOMEN HAD NO AGENCY IN SLAVERY”
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
White women actually had a lot of agency during slavery. They were slave owners in their own right. And in significant numbers by the 19th century. While white men dominated plantations, white women dominated smaller urban spaces as slave owners. They tended to own black women in particular. In fact, they often owned brothels where they forced black women to endure rape.
Even within the patriarchal plantation structure, white women had totalizing power over their slaves. The white mistress watched their husband rape the female slaves and then they’d then take their anger out on that same enslaved black woman by demanding floggings, selling off their children (that were the result of said rape), and any other violent, sociopathic thing you can think of.
In many slave narratives written by black women, white women are portrayed in a worse light than the men because their powerlessness in comparison to white men made them particularly sociopathic towards those they did have power over: black women and men. You can read narratives by Harriet Jacobs and Mary Prince, as a start.
White women may have been vulnerable when compared to white men but there is nothing even close to the vulnerability of legally being a non-person as was true of enslaved black people.
I’d read scholarship on slavery & gender. Particularly, anything by Hilary Beckles. You can also read More Than Chattlel by Darlene Clark Hine. You’re not qualified to make historical claims on slavery when you’re uneducated on what truly happened.
Also white Women were raping male slaves for their own pleasure much like white men were with black women. They also were quite literally the head of the home and ruled over the inner workings of the manor, including the house slaves.
They sexually abused female slaves too especially younger girls. They were literally just like their male counterparts in almost every aspect. For OP to go ahead and say with such confidence that white women were powerless and innocent during slavery without doing any fucking research just shows that they were convinced by their whiteness alone to assume these women were blameless. She also doesn’t care enough about black people and our history at all to know that white women have always been one of the biggest perpetrators of violence against black people especially black children. Peep that “leftist” title she gave herself on her header too. That’s a fucking laugh.
Good addition. White women have a really perverse and sucking history of sexually and physically abusing Black children. I believe she’s a leftist. The white ones are some of the worst racist I’ve met becaus, like liberals, they believe for a different reason that they aren’t racist.
