Jennifer L. Morgan in her piece called " Some Could Suckle over their shoulder": Male Travelers, Female Bodies and Gendering of Racial Ideology 1500-1770" states the character of the female African body: " a body both desirable and repulsive, available and untouchable productive and reproductive, beautiful and black. This shows the contradiction,  as the historians says, to justify slavery based on religion and morality. How can you lust over something that you reject in society and through Christianity? If religion actually justified slavery, then why are they lusting ( Thou shall not covet) and it goes on from sin to sin I believe Christianity was just an escape goat that did not openly banned slavery. And i know that it is scripture that tells the slave to submit to their masters, but Jesus said if you don't remember anything else remember the Golden Rule. Love is the greatest gift of all. You can't love God/Jesus without loving your brother. So do you think Christianity is a reasonable justification of slavery or do you think its an escape goat?? (No, money/wealth was the reason for slavery not just because it says slave be submissive to your master)
