(cw: rape) the american black woman's origin story in this country is marked by rape. corporeal imperialism. state sanctioned robbery of sexual & bodily autonomy at the hands of WHITE male slave owners. thats why what meg & cardi are doin hits diff & why powerful yt men are tight

plantation rape is purposefully deemphasized in slavery lessons (or surveys on american feminism) bc of misogynoir. we learn abt plantation rape as a side horror of slavery. nah it WAS slavery. it was AMERICA. thats why every nigga has some white in them. read harriet jacobs.

black women better fucking scream abt their pussies & sexual desires & sex lives & what THEY want & how THEY want it. its a small step towards reckoning the psychological & generational terror & damage of slavery.

yall are mad bc black women r narrating their own sexuality & u aint used to that. your kneejerk reaction to somehow claim songs like WAP are 'disgraceful' to this country is violent misogynoir. fix it.

& @ the black woman boomers on my tl (or anyone..) whos internalized that mindset, pls decolonize ur mind. what is liberation if black women cant do whatever they want? what is "respect" in a country that only wants black womens body and sexuality on white supremacy's terms?
