People said that black women were bitches. And that they were the least attractive of God’s women. The mules of the world made, supposedly, for servitude. And that they should be pitied because all they would ever know was disappointment and sorrow.People said that black women were cold and unfeeling. Or hilariously comical and overly intelligent. Intimidating. People said that black women weren’t loved by their fathers or chosen to be loved by black men because they were all born with attitude problems and simply weren’t as nice or playful or sweet or feminine as any of the other women in the world. People said that blackness was evil because of black women.People said that a black woman was anything but a woman.The whole world lies on black women.
