This is interesting - and I see it in the culture today, in the ignorant statements some make, that blacks don't have it "that bad" now - but Slate's Dana Steven's thinks 12 Years a Slave, especially, lent itself to over-dramatisation for effect:
Did you notice she called them "white"?
We Are Respectable Negroes has a 19th century woodcarving called "Torture Of A Slave" says different, as well as some charming tales for those who might find blacks,…what shall we call it? Degenerate, maybe? Well, I'm getting off-topic - what was slavery really like with the "white" slaveowner?
"On this plantation were more than 100 slaves who were mated indiscrimi-nately and without any regard for family unions. If their master thought that a certain man and woman might have strong, healthy offspring, he forced them to have sexual relation, even though they were married to other slaves. If there seemed to be any slight reluctance on the part of either of the unfortunate ones, 'Big Jim' would make them consummate this relationship in his presence.
We've already established Irish women were favorites.
He used the same procedure if he thought a certain couple was not producing children fast enough. He enjoyed these orgies very much and often entertained his friends in this manner; quite often he and his guests would engage in these debaucheries, choosing for themselves the prettiest of the young women. Sometimes they forced the unhappy husbands and lovers of their victims to look on."
Bible in hand, I'm sure.
Louisa and Sam were married in a very revolting manner. To quote [Louisa]:
“Marse Jim called me and Sam ter him and ordered Sam to pull off his shirt that was all the McClain niggers wore and he said to me: Nor, ‘do you think you can stand this big nigger?’ He had that old bull whip flung acrost his shoulder, and Lawd, that man could hit so hard! So I jes said ‘yassur, I guess so,’ and tried to hide my face so I couldn’t see Sam’s nakedness, but he made me look at him anyhow.
Made her do it. Go ahead, hate another black who doesn't want to salute the flag.
“Well, he told us what we must git busy and do in his presence, and we had to do it,...”
We have to go along with whatever whites say.
Those rape orgies must be the "traditional values" conservatives are fond of saying blacks used to have, rather than acknowledging the horrorshow blacks have been trying to build from, pretty much alone, in reality - and in the face of white's opposition based on lie.

(Can you imagine how much of a hinderance to progress it is, for blacks, that white people aren't understanding - or taking any responsibility for - this one fact, of what role they play, in our nation's possible psycho-social dysfunction?)
"America" is a badly-sold con job, on it's way to becoming an open wound, that whites use our money to hide from, and think they'll force the rest of us to live under, forever.
Hmmmm,…
