not the point - no one is happy there was slavery.

The point is that the agenda driven rhetoric would have you believe all blacks were slaves owned by cruel white men. That is just not the case.

I lived for a while in SW Virginia and they are proud of their Southern heritage and supplied many men to the Confederate army - yet some of those counties, according to cited census’, had no slaves.

The image of the cruel white slave master and his sons having their way with the female slaves was nowhere near 100% true. Look up hypergamy and the desire of females to marry up. And reproduce upwards too. Such as a female slave will want lighter children (more status and better chance at education etc.) so makes some babies with the slave owning family men.

1000x more taboo was the male slave having relations with females in the slave owners extended family
