Powerful white men were simply not accused of rape.
Besides, if a woman was raped, it was considered her fault.
Men were believed to be natural aggressors (the inclination to rape was seen as 'human nature.')
Therefore, a woman was responsible for guarding her chastity.
If she was raped, it meant she failed to guard the goods, so her behavior was taken into account: How was she dressed? Was she out alone?
