A tender spot in master-slave relations (Masters/Slave Sexual Relations)

[jimmybeanz]

- been heard that there were resorts that slaveowners took their mistresses to. 

- not sure why it's difficult to believe that some slaves actually loved their "owners".  it's not slavery related, but a good analogy is stockholm syndrome where hostages fall in love with their captors. there were actually slaves who were so loyal they were allowed to have guns and who fought for their "owners" during the civil war.

- there were some black americans who owned slaves.  this doesn't get a lot of publicity. 

p.s. i'm black and not a republican.

songs, oral histories, pictures, etc.; but thats what I'd rather read.

Not all slave owners treated their slaves cruelly. Common misconception.

Is it so hard to believe the dynamic between slave-owner and female slave may have gone along the lines of the type of relationship brought up by the OP, in some instances?

I mean come on, you don't think those slave masters didn't look at the rear ends of those slaves and just think to themselves, DAMN. I have to taste that.

You guys need to not just look at it from the blunt reality but try to understand the different perspectives in the situation. Many slaves never wanted to stop being slaves, never thought of running away, never thought ill of their masters. The psychological conditioning runs deep and can't be undone in a short period of time. Main reason why many slaves didn't want to stop being slaves after the Civil War.

A slave mistress would never bother with escaping because after the slave master she held the most power on the plantation (even more than the wife) especially if she had that master's child.

The whole dynamic is documented in many slave narratives. If you study African American History and/or African American literature you'll definitely cover it.

Its fiction but the narrative can DEFINITELY be true... as evidenced at the end of the article

Exactly. Freedom aint free. Some blacks still don't wanna stop being slaves.
