Think back to your lesson on slavery, but focus specifically on Black women and ask yourself if Black women were respected or treated with extraordinary kindness. Do you have an answer? I bet the answer is no. Well, here's another question: do you know how bad the treatment they received or even how they were viewed? I guess your answer is the same as my mind I don't really know. Well, I read this story that showed me aspects of slavery in black women that I wasn't aware of, so this story here called "Jezebel and Mammy" written by Deborah Gray White and this story focuses on the enslavement of women and how they were seen in the eyes especially of European men. My goal is to bring out the points in what I learn about the Black woman living in the era of slavery. Say no to plagiarism. Get a tailor-made essay on "Why Violent Video Games Shouldn't Be Banned"?

Black women in slavery had a lot of mistreatment that they had to tolerate, as you may already know, so, here is this statement from the story that perfectly supports my statement in what I mean "This is a woman of excessive strength, with an ability to tolerate an unusual amount of misery and heavy, unpleasant work” which is so true in so many ways, okay let's continue with the second concept of mommy As I continued reading this story I learned something new as I said before and this it's the term "Mommy" what I learned from this story that the concept of Mommy is different from the concept of Jezebel because it shows black women in a different light I'm not saying that this concept shows that black women are free because Mommy was selected for "its value" and reliability." I honestly don't like how they use the term Vale like they bought an object and not a person but we keep saying it shows that black women have moved away from the concept of the Jezebel sexual stereotype, maybe I'm wrong but that's the one that I see anyway, there is a statement in this story that talks about the topic Mammy “Mammy was the woman who could do anything and does it better than anyone else. Because of her expertise in all domestic matters, she was the main maid and everyone else was her subordinates", which was so different from standing on a platform while white men stare at every inch of your body. As I was reading so delving into this story made me think that I felt like I was missing out on some of the information and that was little black girls in the era of slavery, we heard all about the woman but not the little girls and here's what I understood In slavery I call the dark moment, you always hear about a story where a black person gets the whip and is always an adult, but in this story it is mentioned that the slave girls were sexually suggestive which for some reason was said to have some sexual undertones thirteen, what sexual undertones it had and the story doesn't stop there, they go into the description and the story states, "The girl was put on all fours" sometimes with head down, sometimes up "and beaten until the.
