Here are the indisputable facts.

388,000 slaves were brought to the United States of America before 1866.
US Population in 1860 was 31,443,321.
(So blacks started out as 1.2% of the population)

In 2010, Blacks were 12.6% of the United States of America's population (total 308.7 million)
It's not that the slave ships were running overtime bringing millions of blacks into the country. It's just that they have been more fruitful and multiplied more than their Protestant white neighbors who had other priorities. (For what it's worth, I criticize those other priorities for the empty stupidity that they were.)

You are forgetting something. Those slave women were at the mercy of their owners and the owners relatives, employees, visitors, and strangers. It was in the owner's interest to create more slaves. It was not a natural process at all.

What point are you trying to make?

If rape (presumably by whites) was any kind of major cause for the explosion of the black population in this country, then wouldn't most blacks be extremely light skinned mulattoes?
Those owners/relatives/employees/visitors/strangers were all white. Black + white = mulatto. Especially when that 50/50 mulatto grows up and reproduces with another white person. If this happened only twice, the offspring would only be 25% black. If it happened 3 generations in a row, the resulting children would only be 12.5% black. I understand that nowadays a 5% black always considers himself primarily black, but in reality there is a dilution of black features (skin color and everything else) the more white DNA is mixed in.

When I look around at blacks today, I don't see mostly mulattoes.
