Antebellum masters had relations with female slaves. Knowing this, would you argue that slave owners weren't racist?
I think you're being a little superficial in your evaluation.
I'm wondering how many of those slave owners, however, were 'sharing' their slave/concubine with the field worker(s). This particular case of Sterling's take on things is, IMO, bizarre. His list of what is and isn't OK for her to do, along with what he is doing, defies my ability to figure out whether he is more racist or senile or has an addiction problem.
(there are just so many angles to this mess that induce revulsion, erf)
It's more the same of white men making exotic pets out of WoC (while holding us in contempt) and being covertly antognistic towards MoC. I could have easily explained this as woman of color. Especially as a lighter skinned woman of color.
You guys should go read Incidents in the Life of A Slave Girl
