The Color Complex

In The Color Complex, it states that "in order for slavery to gain moral acceptance on the Englishmen lawmakers, it was essential to foster a belief that Africans were less than fully human". This is pure inhumanity to me due to the fact that it was out of their own selfishness that Whites wanted to engage in sexual relationships with blacks. When they started creating a population of interracial children they decided it was time to check their conscience? They decided it was a smart idea to pass antimiscegenation laws as if they were doing a huge favor to the Whites by separating them from the "lower life form" that was the blacks. If sex with blacks was considered beastiality, why were the Englishmen taking advantage of the enslaved women? The white slave owners needed something to save their conscience and make themselves feel better which is complete hypocrisy. For the black and whites that actually fell in love during this time period, extremely unfortunate and unfair. They should not be punished for the selfish acts of the White Englishmen. The African women certainly did not desire to be raped and taken advantage of. I think it is pretty safe to say that the real beasts here are the White slave owners.
