[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you forreal? Of course there are likely hundreds of thousands, if not a few million, black Americans who are descendants of slave and slave owner “relationships” (I put relationships in quotes because most would have been raped or otherwise not fully able to consent to a relationship with their slave master).

I can’t tell if you’re romanticizing a marriage between a SLAVE and her OWNER.  there’s nothing romantic about slavery or raping slaves.

Please do some American history. [/quote]

Dare I say pot kettle.

Do your own research.  [b]The majority of AA in the us [/b]are descended from black slave men and indentured white women. This is supported by US state archival records as well as records kept in country of origin.

For example, this is just Maryland for an example:

Yes, op it is often difficult to trace AA genealogy because of slavery.[/quote]

This is true of free people of color before the EP. ESP. those north of the Mason-Dixon line. Less true of people freed during/after the Civil War. The percentages falls off so that there’s not a majority of white mothers for children held as slaves. [/quote]

That's not what the links are suggesting.  The offspring were considered black and their rights dictated as such.  Laws of indentured servants vs slavery changed because owners feared alliances between white indentured servants and black slaves.  [/quote]
