If black slaves (black mind you) came from Africa. How do you think their skins got lighter and lighter? Gene mutations? If a slave had sexual relations with her owner what are the chances she was doing this voluntarily? It was either rape or coersion and perhaps , in rare cases, mutual affection. But mostly rape. Call me an idiot if you want to but 1 + 1= 2 in every math book I've ever seen.
Slavery ended 7 generations ago and many slaves were free long before that. Light skinned blacks are more likely to have been a result of intermarriage or interbreeding. Given the numbers of light blacks it appears there has been a fair amount of attraction between the races.
In reply of the above statement you wrote this
With all these light-skinned black folks walking around, that statement can't be accurate.
You have not one iota of evidence that a single light-skinned black folk walking around is a by product of anything other than a mutual relationship between a black man and a non-black woman or a black woman and a non-black man.
For you to say all light-skinned folk walking around today are a result of white slave owners raping their black slaves is not only bigoted, ignorance, it's race baiting... It is not supported by the facts... and it's an insult to all of the children of loving interracial couples... Let's try Haley Berry for starters shall we?
I don't know where you learned math but most of us have learned there are more ways than 1 + 1 to arrive at 2... in order to arrive at alternative solutions, you must first learn to think a bit more independently... and get outside of your tunnel...
your tripe is old, come up with something more original and relevant... don't just repeat the tired old talking points that your handlers spew...
Another ignorant statement.... Are we to assume that every black person in the US today, light or dark is a direct descendant of slaves owned by early Americans?
Never mind... I now know I'm wasting my bandwidth...
