Lately there's been this retarded push from media to promote this idea that prior to the Civil War, the White Man went around raping the Black Woman every chance he could get. I don't have a source, so just take my word for it.
I personally find this idea far-fetched.
Let's consider why men rape women. They presumably rape women because they find it sexually gratifying. They presumably find it sexually gratifying when they're attracted to the woman.
Let's also consider that people will do more of a behavior the less risky it is.
Now, under slavery, there's essentially no risk to raping a slave. Thus, that portion of the population who would want to would be able to rape as much as they feel like. However, how many White men actually wanted to rape women?
The thing is, I'm pretty sure that your average man doesn't want to rape anybody, so he wouldn't be raping anybody. Then, you have the very large percentage of white men who have no interest in black women at all. In my personal experience talking to white men, I've found that very few of them will say they'd even consider dating a black woman. This is also borne out by statistics which show that white man/black woman miscegenation is very rare, in relative terms, compared to other pairings.
Thus, we have some evidence that the amount of white men who are sexually interested in black women is quite small.
This leaves essentially two kinds of rapist (again noting that most people won't be rapists even if given the opportunity): white men with jungle fever and white men who have low enough standards that they just don't care.
I find it hard to believe that Black women were constantly being terrorized the way modern historians and historical fiction writers make it sound.
