    That’s actually not true, their Christian homophobia wouldn’t let them. Doesn’t need to be either because horsewhips and regular rape of black women was already bad enough on their own

    when did christian homophobia stop any male sexual abuse ever in history

    A*** s***was a literal crime for centuries so it stopped them, not from happening at all but at least from being common place

    There is no historical evidence or backing for buck breaking as a major practice. There is however, widespread evidence for a wide range of other atrocities committed in the name of slavery, so why make stuff up when the truth is already too far. It’s like saying during the holocausy SS Officers had a tradition of skinning the biggest Jew in public then wearing his face. Like it’s not true and it doesn’t need to be because the holocaust is already as bad enough as it was

    Skimmed thru this and they reference actual slave accounts that verify that slave owners used to rape male slaves, but it wasn't some big ritual they invited everyone out to watch, probably due to the Christian homophobia you're referring to.

    So no, it wasn't some big ritual everyone watched, but male slaves were raped.

    Funny enough, this is the same exact source I used and what it’s stating is that male slaves were in fact sexually abused. That could be in the form of forcing them to have s***with family members as OP asked or putting them in demeaning sexual positions, which I haven’t ruled out. What I’m saying is the idea that a common thing for a white slave owner to rape the strongest male in public to make him look weak, seems like an embellishment

    There were other races who had slaves in America?

    Chile, some Native American tribes enslaved Black folks.

    If you really want an idea of what was going on during slavery in the Americas (not just the U.S.) I would suggest looking into slave narratives.

    Finding out they turned Nat Turners dead body into grease and ate him was deeply disturbing.

    Yes, there was a lot of cannibalism during slavery. Even Native American academics have written about it too.

    Enslaved people and Native Americans were at points eaten by the White community.

    One book is called "The Delectable Negro", it's a compilation of information from slave narratives.

    This is kind of the problem with "historians", they will completely leave out information like this.

    Sounds like a myth. Slave owners were probably against incest and other immoral s***practices if it didn’t involve their own d***

    So they raped women and children, often extra maritally, but you can guarantee they drew the line at homosexuality because of Christianity?!
