RT @BLAKOBEN: THE CHILDREN OF GENOCIDAL RAPE:::
“Think about, not how many hundreds, thousands or millions, but of how many hundreds of millions of rapes would have had to occur in order for the majority of us to be contaminated with white blood. The vast majority of Afrikans enslaved throughout New Europe (North and South America) came from the dark-skinned lineages of central West Afrika. So think about the amount of sexual violence it would take to turn an unquestionably unwilling Black people brown, tan and off white. Consider the confusion of a beautiful Black people shamed into believing that dark skin is a sin. Can you imagine wanting to be the product of rape? Can you imagine a crime this inhumane being seen as a blessing, bestowing “good” hair, “light” skin and “white” features on its victims? Can you imagine the level of self-hate it would take for darker skinned Afrikans to resent not being the “beneficiary” of rape!”
