Yes, indeed, white women got pregnant by blacks during slavery times. However, whether by consensual sex or rape, white women faced higher ostracism that white males who had consensual sex with black females or who raped black females. White women could not hide the baby's skin color if she got pregnant. White men who fathered a bi-racial baby were not penalized, especially since most babies 'looked' black. Even when babies were lighter skinned, there were no penalties. So, a white woman took great social and personal/family risks to consent to a black man. A black man having sex or raping a white woman faced whipping or hanging. These disparities continued up through at least the 1960s in southern US States.
