Another lie stated that the lighter skin blacks was because the slaves "Masters" had their way with the black woman. The is a lie the white Irish women and girls were breed like cattle with the black male to produce a more stronger Irish slave who were less expensive. And when you see census records these were listed as "mulatto" half black and half white. As a genealogist I have run across a lot of mulatto in census records. African slaves were often treated far better than their Irish counterparts. African slaves cost 50 sterling in the late 1600s. Irish slaves came at no more than five sterling. https://beyondentertainmentblogdotcom.wordpress.com/2015/10/02/the...
