    My God how could America imagine itself not being cursed from the barbarity of MOST of its history. Thomas Jefferson said on slavery, "When I reflect on God being a just God, I tremble for my country, knowing that his justice will not sleep forever" The Karma that this country has amassed is frightening. I am Cuban and Puerto Rican and this one drop rule is unthinkable from my perspective. In my family there were MARRIAGES between African men and African women with Spaniards, Italians and Greeks going back to the 1640's. Our African culture religion and foods were kept in tact. This was during the African enslavement period. Human beings make families together in NORMAL societies. America is a stain on humanity.

      It was a different system. British/American Slave System vs the Latin American Slave System.
      Remember Cuba abolished slavery in 1886, The Spanish abolished slavery in PR in 1873.
      The Spanish and Portuguese had different slave systems, that allowed or encouraged Blanqueamiento. Which is one of the main reasons for the marriages that you speak of. See the 1895 Brazilian painting “Redemption of Ham”.
      Which is one of the reasons why in many Latin American countries, being black (dark skinned) is looked down on. PR and Cuban and other Latin American countries have their own stains and curses from slavery. Also remember it was American descents of slaves who have set the example for other people color when it comes freedom and rights.
      Another quote from Thomas Jefferson
      I know no error more consuming to an estate than that of stocking farms with men almost exclusively. I consider a woman who brings a child every two years as more profitable than the best man of the farm, what she produces is an addition to the capital, while his labors disappear in mere consumption.”
      This quote shows who was more valuable then and now.

      Cuba and Puerto Rico had slavery as well. You come as if Cuban or Puerto Rican culture is superior. Because they are both just as racist as America.

      The promotion of miscegenation in LATAM was to breed out the Blackeness. La Raza, remember. Please stop pretending there was ever an ounce of humanity in enslavement with the Spanish.

    A woman or girl at the “fancy girls” auction was faced with a grim dilemma. If she is chosen to be a fancy girl, she would be sexually abused regularly. But if she was not chosen, she would end up a slave in the fields. Which one should she hope for?

In relation to your question, you can be in the field, WITHOUT PAY, be beat AND still be raped and sexually abused. Neither is a choice, you are forced into one or the other or both in a lifetime.
