The following is a link that talks about the over sexualization of Blackwomen in media, marketing and history. The portrayal of Black women as lascivious by nature is an enduring stereotype in America. I decided to share this link because it reminded me of the readings and class discussion about Rosa Parks and the rape of Blackwomen in the South. I believe that the myth of Blackwomen being over sexed creatures have justified some groups attitudes and behaviors towards Blackwomen.
