Where did mulattoes come from. Frederick Douglass, the abolitionist and former slave, who claimed that the “slave woman is at the mercy of the fathers, sons or brothers of her master.”9 Douglass’s account is consistent with the accounts of other former slaves. Henry Bibb’s master forced a young slave to be his son’s concubine; later, Bibb and his wife were sold to a Kentucky trader who forced Bibb’s wife into prostitution.10

“Powerless against a lustful husband and blind to the harsh realities of chattel slavery, the enraged wife often vented her jealous rage upon the one person whom she could control, the black woman.” English law governed the “American” English colonists.
Colonial laws regarding statutory rape were not applied to Blacks and Indians. Indians and Blacks, as well as their children, were prohibited by law from defending themselves against abuse, sexual and otherwise, at the hands of Whites. A slave who defended herself against the attack of a White person was subject to cruel beatings by either the master or mistress. Liaisons between Whites and Blacks or Indians were illegal. The females of color received the harshest punishment if discovered in a liaison with a White male. Females of color, regardless of their young age, were viewed as seducers of White men. Pregnancy became the evidence of the illegal liaison. A mulatto baby the indicator of the race of the father – White male. The child, by statute took the status of the mother and is thus born into slavery. The full benefit of the relationship and the off-spring enured to the White male. Under English precedent, the status of children was determined by the father. The colonists changed the law to increase the wealth and domination of the White master who had eliminated certain costs of purchasing human labor by becoming “a breeder of slaves.” The Black female, woman or child, was forced into sexual relationships for the White slave master’s pleasure and profit.

Slave women were property; therefore, legally they could not be raped. Often slavers would offer gifts or promises of reduced labor if the slave women would consent to sexual relations, and there were instances where the slaver and slave shared sexual attraction; however, “the rape of a female slave was probably the most common form of interracial sex.”11 A slave woman explained, “When he make me follow him into de bush, what use me to tell him no? He have strength to make me.”12 At the same time, Black men convicted of raping White women were usually castrated, hanged, or both.13

People make decisions based on the options they have and the options that they perceive. The objective realities of slavery and the slaves’ subjective interpretations of the institution both led female slaves to engage “voluntarily” in sexual unions with Whites, especially slavers, their sons, and their overseers. A slave who refused the sexual advances of her slaver risked being sold, beaten, raped, and having her “husband” or children sold. Many slave women conceded to sexual relations with Whites, thereby reinforcing the belief that Black women were lustful and available.

Robert Lindsay, you have made me angry enough to bother posting on your site. You are one of the worst types of racists. You believe you are liberal and “anitracist”, while at the same time spouting horrific, false remarks about Blacks and downplaying the system of oppression forced upon them. Please stop thinking of and referring to yourself as a decent person and start admitting to the fact that you are an insensitive racist that could care less about the Black race. I hope I never stumble across your horribly flawed and inaccurate comments again.

I have never seen figures for incest, but Blacks, as a percentage of their population have the highest rate of serial killers and child molesters in the United States.

“Eric Hickey
Wadsworth Publishing 1996
With a database of serial killers from the 1790s to the 1980s compiled in 1991, Hickey found 13% of known cases were African-American.
In another study Hickey removed the decade of the 1790s and with data from the entire 1980s through 1995 included, please note the sharp upsurge in black serial killers:-
With a database of 399 serial killers from 1800 to 1995, Hickey found:
(1) 20% of the killers were black.
(2) 17% were women.
And here’s more:-
Century of Slaughter 1992
Michael Newton
With a database of 800 serial killers from the 20th century, Newton found 16% of cases were African-American
And more:-
Extreme Killing: Understanding Serial and Mass Murder
James Alan Fox and Jack Levin
Crime and Justice, Vol. 23, 1998 (1998), pp. 407-455
Sage Publications 2005
With a database of 558 offenders operating in the United States since 1900, Fox and Levin found:
(1) 86% of the killers are male.
(2) 82% are white.
(3) 15% are black.
(4) 4% are Hispanic.”

In the figures above.. note that Blacks are over represented as a percentage of the US population.

Rate of child abuse by race:
White = 51%
African American = 25%
Hispanic = 15%
American Indian/Alaska Natives = 2%
Asian/Pacific Islanders = 1%

Same with the figures above.

Your first two links are outdated. The last one was published in 2010. I see nothing on the latter that makes whites or blacks look good. All of the numbers are serious and deserve attention and action. What is with whites and blacks playig the “You Are Worse Than I” game? It is childish and a waste of time for either race to poke fun at the other for percentages or numbers of crimes. They both have “won” the high percentage status at times. Check this one out. It is a 2010 United States FBI list of arrests and charges by races. Which one is prettier? Not a single one.

Each race listed has serious problems.
