bb you said it right... at no point ever in American history has a black women been seen as virtuous and feminine. Look at old films. As for slavery days, a white man didn't need to be a slave owner to know a black woman was easy pickings not protected by any rape laws whatsoever.
You said..."bb you said it right... at no point ever in American history has a black women been seen as virtuous and feminine."
Assuming you are right (we cant know either way)...it would be difficult to establish cause and effect considering the general attitudes displayed towards blacks back in earlier times.
What I do know is what Walter Williams has affirmed...that before the advent of liberal social engineering...the illegitemacy rate among blacks was significantly less than among whites of the same (and perhaps higher) economic level, due I asume, to the tight integration of religion into the black family and community.
