Did slave breeding actually exist?

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7, breh. One of my favorites...

No they didn't.

Giving cacs too much credit. Give into the myth that cacs bred you like animals like mad scientists...

Honestly, I think that intricate slave breeding was a myth.

I like that word, intricate.... I think I agree with that....

Was about to post the exact same response.

To get a clue on the matter, the largest slave breeding Farms was located in Maryland around what is now known as Baltimore. Fast forward today, the highest cases of sexual molestation and incest among black people. .........Baltimore Maryland!!!

Interesting

I think some of you are coming at this too complicated

is it so far fetched that slaveowners would want the biggest most athletic slaves to have kids together?

The science wasn't there for the breeding to produce super strong/athletic slaves. They thought their strength came from their blackness. Whites assumed that all black were super strong, super sexual and immune to pain and grief. That was the type of stuff in their science books.

Now instead of physical strength, you can hypothesis that our immune systems are stronger because of slavery, but the benefits of that are pretty much moot when you take in account of the physical, mental and emotional stress that comes from slavery and is still present in the generations after.

Slaves were mostly bred for numbers, not any particular trait because the jobs that slaves did varied greatly. Children and elders worked, there was a job for everyone.

I don't think the weak and frail would have made it over on the ships to start with

Pretty much... No one in here is denying that it didn't happen, but did it happen on a large scale.. .seriously doubt it...

The only reason American science is so advanced now is because they experimented on slaves usually without out anesthesia because they believed blacks could not feel pain.

Pregnant women and infants too.

I'm just saying that the idea that AA or descendents of slaves are athletically superior because of slavery is a myth.

I agree with all your posts

 

[CinnaSlim]

In fact, the idea of blackness = equals strength was so prevalent that if you were weaker than your peers they would probably beat you more just because they thought you were being lazy as opposed to physically incapable.

Why do you think they fear us so much?

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Your a smart guy tho, there is a reason America has the best athletes

Nurture has a strong role in that...

The Dream has no slave ancestry, and he's arguably one of the most prolific ballers ever... Nurture

Ibaka has no slave ancestry... :nurture

Emmanuel Mudiay has no slave ancestry, but was raised mostly in the states..... Nurture

Mutumbo
Deng
Igoudala (I think)

O Koye

Osi
Nhamdi
Suh (I think)

and so on... Yall are oversimplifying this.... shyt is way more complicated than that

Yup, I've seen it. I'm glad you posted it. I've recommended it to everyone.
