SLAVERY WAS NEVER JUST ABOUT LABOR:
If it were, there would have been no need to sexually violate enslaved women. No need to force reproduction. No need to turn Black women’s wombs into profit centers. No need to strip them of the legal right to refuse, to testify, or to be protected.
Under American chattel slavery, sexual violence was not incidental it was systemic, legal, and economically rewarded. Enslaved women were forced to give birth to more enslaved people, automatically increasing the wealth and power of enslavers while ensuring generational control. Children born from this violence were not protected they were owned.
This is not opinion. This is documented history. Discomfort does not equal dishonesty. Silence does not equal innocence. Education is not hate. It is accountability. If the truth unsettles you, ask yourself why and who benefits when this history is ignored.
