We know it happens to other races, too, obviously. This is directed to the Black ladies in the room. This is not about everyone else’s experience of the “phenomenon.”

Everyone experiences it differently, and there’s a clear element of racism in the over-sexualization of Black women. That is why the racial distinction is being made here, and the writer made that especially clear by providing you with the historical contrast of Victorian-era white women bearing the expectations of a demure, modest, and respectable stature, while Black women commonly faced sexual violence, repression, and other extreme forms of abuse by slavers and white “high-class” society members.

This is an excellent written piece, it’s a total shame the black females fat and skinny dress so trashy and they have the same response, I’m confident with my body or the so what I do what I want, it’s all so so sad 1. Dressing like trash isn’t the definition of confidence, 2. Let the white female dress less who cares Black women have some self respect and morals, dress like a whore been a whore in the bedroom.
