Let me stomp this myth out right now.
Domninant Black males do not require the guidance or intervention of white men to procreate. A dominate Black Male would have procreated regardless of slavery and would have likely chosen the most suitable mate. White slave master did not "breed" superslaves.
The so-called "breeding" that slavemasters did do was for the purpose of getting MORE slaves. At best, all the slavemaster was ensure that the dominant male had more kids.

Sorry two cents, I think some people would rather remain ignorant and any attempt to set them straight will be met with the same latent; scratch that overtly racist BS that some of the above answers gave you.
take care man.
I'm confused by some of these responses, is this Y! or stormfront?

Since you know nothing about this part of black history, let me enlighten you. White slave owners bred their healthy African slave men with healthy African slavewomen. Black slaves had no rights, so they had no choice in the matter. This was done when the british passed a law that stated slavery would be no more. They could no longer go to Africa and kidnap the people. Since the demand for slaves was huge, their life span wasn't very long because of the strenuous lifestyle, they decided to start breeding them. this way they could satisfy the countrys' demand for slaves. this event was very monumental because it made the slave trade more lucrative. The price of slaves went up and more laws were enacted. Watch Mandingo the b movie.

Look, I agree, stereotyping sucks. We are all stereotyped for one reason or another. The reason people feel it is racist is simple, I am white, will they give me a scholarship? No. That is racism (or at least discrimination). If it were the caucasian fund, and it denied an asian, or african american, there would be hell raised. On the basis that it is not equal to everyone, it is considered "racist" although maybe that is the wrong term. Likewise for the crime thing, that is one the you need to look up at a government site. I think that statistically, there is some confusion of the truth. Poverty is directly linked with crime. Maybe it is stereotyping that makes ignorant people say that it is african americans. But look it up and YOU be the judge. It looks like you just answered your own question on this. Everybody needs to work together, not just special interest groups. EVERYONE should help EVERYONE's community. that is the ONLY way its going to get better.

I think you got this one wrong. Slave owners did breed "super slaves". Any species can be bred for certain characteristics.
And yes they did breed for mass quantities as well. Very similar to horse breeding. There are Horses that are "designed" for their great strength, for their speed, and for taking children around in a circle at the county fair as an example. While Slavery was and is very wrong you can not rewrite history.
Hope this helps

A better angle is to ask why there are more diverse genes in people south of the saharra than elsewhere? Where would you go to enrich your gene pool?
