That Gay Thread

[Huggy Bear]

I can name at least three slave narratives off the top of my head that mention female slaves being raped:

1) 12 Years a Slave by Solomon Northrup, which brings up how Patsey is raped by Epps, and whipped when she refuses:

Her back bore the scars of a thousand stripes; not because she was backward in her work, nor because she was of an unmindful and rebellious spirit, but because it had fallen to her lot to be the slave of a licentious master and a jealous mistress. She shrank before the lustful eye of the one, and was in danger even of her life at the hands of the other, and between the two, she was indeed accursed

2) Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs. Here's a salient section
3) Behind the Scenes: Or, Thirty Years a Slave and Four Years in the White House by Elizabeth Keckley.

“I was regarded as fair-looking for one of my race, and for four years a white man – I spare the world his name – had base designs upon me. I do not care to dwell upon this subject, for it is one that is fraught with pain. Suffice it to say, that he persecuted me for four years, and I – I – became a mother. The child of which he was the father was the only child that I ever brought into the world.”

This is the last time I will answer one of your random attempts at changing the subject until you answer the fucking question LadyForCamus posed the other day: "Why do you think the LGBTQ community and their advocates advocate for these things in the first place? What do you suppose their motives are?" Are you a coward, Jez? Do I need to keep shitposting "Answer the fucking question" memes in order for you to actually answer it? I'm game for that.

I didn't change the subject, YOU did when you claimed that male slaves being raped was a lie, so now we have to address it.

Thomas Thistlewood, an eighteenth-century Jamaican planter, noted in his diary two incidents of homosexual assault. For one of them he recorded a report of a Mr. Watt committing sodomy with his negroe waiting boy. In slavery, there are many accounts of rape and sexual abuse by slaveholders towards their slaves. Many slaves tried to fight back and resist the sexual abuse. However, that didn’t always result in a good outcome. While it is known that many enslaved women were sexually abused, it is important to highlight that male slaves were also sexually abused by slaveholders.
