projection

My mother completely bought into blacks "rape our women" and "they don't want to work," which is understandable given that she was born & raised in the early 20th century in Baltimore, which has always been more southern than northern in its culture & attitudes.

The thing that long left me scratching my head was how she completely ignored which race had the actual history of idealizing women of their race while raping women of another, who thought that it was a mark of a true gentleman never ever doing anything that could be remotely interpreted as hard labor.  

When people talk about blacks raping women & looking to do as little work as possible, they are projecting onto one race the proclivities of another.  FACT:  it wasn't unusual for the child of a white plantation owner who'd raped a black slave to be a house servant or worse; the master could do whatever he wished with the child, as slave status descended through the mother, not the father.

When you hear the words, "They rape our women," remember this reality.  The sorry fact is the words are a projection of a history too unsavory to stomach, so its reassigned to the vanquished victims.
