The slave rape scenario

Can I just say, how annoying it gets when people always mention this? No doubt it happened, but in my opinion it just doesn't explain blacks who are as light skinned as mixed people today.

Maybe it did 90 years ago or 100 years ago, but in today's time, so many generations have passed.

Lets face it, there is a history within your own family that either no one has told you, or that you are just trying to hide, and that history is the fact that there was some mixing in your family alot more recent than the slave master rapes slave theory.

You see the part many will also not tell you is how back in the day (if not still now), light skinned often paired with light skinned. We all know how old society was, they viewed light skinned better because of perceived advantages that could come with having light brown skin instead of dark.

I mean if you look at all known blacks before 1960, a good majority were light skinned, and I don't think that was a mistake...

So the slave rape may have made more light skinned kids...but at the same time light skinned people were pairing off with each other.

While you can still produce dark skinned kids, most will probably come out looking brown. Look at Lisa Bonet's and Lenny Kravitz's daughter they had when they were still married to each other....

So it kind of gets annoying hearing people refer to the slave rape to explain now...that is only the beginning of the story and is not the whole answer.
