Historicaly in the Unites States of America, Africa, the West Indies ...anywhere there were black women and white men ....anywhere there were women and white men ..anywhere there were white men and living creautures ...>_>some inanimate objects we know that there was rape. Lots of rape, abuse etc.
The legacy that this abuse leaves is mixed race children..but why? Why didn't these women have abortions? Why did these wromged women from all over the world choose to carry and give birth to children who were fathered by someone who attacked them and continuously abused them? Was it that abortions were not redily availablem were risky? Were too expensive? Was it that they didn't believe in abortion? Was it that as a mother they loved the child they were carying regardless of who the father was or the circumstances under which they became pregnant?
In a racialy stratified society where color equals oppressed and white equals aggressor, intruder, ruler, successful there must have been some tension wihin the woman's community especially with her spouse concerning her obviously mixed child that she would still tend to. Why did these women choose to go through this? It must have been cripplingly embarassing for a Dark Skinned Black Woman who was enslaved to be seen coddling, nursing and burping a Mocha Latte brown child that EVERYONE knows resulted from rape.
Could you imagine being in a hostile war like social situation where white people just pulled up in boats beat the hell out of your mother, siser, or wife and months later she's singing to this high yellow child OoO that must be sum SH*T!
How does that woman deal with it? How does everyone around her deal with it? How does that affect everyone emotionally and psychologically?
In Vietnam the children of the women who were victimized by American soliders are teased, shun, mistreated basically totally rejected. It seems as though in their society there is no bonus to being mixed especially not being fathered by a white American solider.
In America and in the Carribean it has become a Super bonus to be mixed..to the point where lots of women of color will have a child with a white street person just so that their kids have mixed features. These mixed children are sported as a badge of honour, a fashion statement, a family statement of wealth and privilege even though in most cases this is totally not true. Its important for me to clarify that its not only women of color who do this..the soot black men having children with refrigerator shaped white women who are all out societal rejects are legion!
Let me tell you a story I personally witnessed, about this guy dark skinned black guy at work,...he works at a buger joint so he is no big deal and he is overweight. So this white lady comes in who is obviously mentally challenged *has the head and everything* with their little daughter...really u have a child with a Mentally Challenged person ?? Seriously?? And then he had the nerve to look embarassed if that's ur boo boo do u, don't be ashamed now. W..e whose to say he had that child with a mentally challenged person just because he wanted a mixed kid that bad...but I gotta feelin *holds up pointer finger*
Anyway to get back on topic what motivates women to keep and care for children who are a product of rape in hostile situations that are made even more complex by racial stratification?
