In 1855, a 19 year old enslaved woman named Celia killed the white man who owned her and was trying to ? her. Missouri law allowed a woman to use force when " in imminent danger of forced sexual intercourse." but the judge ruled an enslaved woman had no right to refuse her " master". Celia was convicted of murder and sentenced to death and hanged on December 21, 1855.
The legal and social double standard that allowed white men to commit sexual violence against black women with impunity, while the most baseless fear of sexual contact between a black man and white woman resulted in deadly violence, continued after emancipation. Nearly one in four black people lynched from 1877 to 1945 were accused of improper contact with a white woman.
Later capital punishment for ? was also reserved for black defendants with white victims. In Virginia all 58 people executed for ? between 1908 and 1963 were black men, although 1000 white men were convicted of ? in that period. In 1957, a Mississippi jury acquited the white men who CONFESSED to ? 16 year old Annette Butler because they believed death was too harsh for ? a black girl.
Fpr generations of black women, racial terror included constant threat of sexual assault. Black women's resistance to racialized sexual exploitation helped birth the activism that fueled the civil rights movement. A decade before the Montgomery bus boycott, Rosa Parks led a NAACP campaign to protest an all white jury 's refusal to indict six white men who ? Recy Taylor in Abbeville, Alabama in 1945.

Same logic could be applied today, those atrocities happened to our great grand parents, we have knowledge of this, and still get up to go work for white people daily, we won't fight for life or fight to the death, I struggle with those thoughts everyday -

Then turn around and say they're treated like objects when they are in the videos?

cs, yeah I'm sure that's the reason I said "black men are sad" rather than saying "black men were sad" -

People have heard of her but you are right that no where near enough have when they should really know her story.
? up but the answer to this question is YES. Claudette was dark and she also had a baby at 15 or 16 years old. So with being so called too dark, an unwed young mother the NAACP felt that she wouldn't be a good person to make the face of that movement like they did Rosa Parks. -
t/s, why are you @ing at me?

I love the ladies.

As should be well-known, I am not one to be dismissive of colorism. (That's an understatement.) But is there any evidence that her being "too dark" was one of the reasons that the NAACP decided not to take up her case? -

Yeah because ? had it better
You do know that most of the time when a black man was lynched he was also castrated right?
Lots of old white ppl out here with black ? trophies
Everybody had it bad -
White men are, and have been the biggest cuckholds on the planet.

In 1893 , a crowd of 10000 gathered in Paris Texas to watch the lynching of 17 year old Henry Smith...10,000 people -
When they talk about "order" and "disorder" in America, this is "order".

This prolly isn't the best forum for such a conversation, if we're all keeping it a buck. There's a LARGE percentage of ? on the IC who very clearly view all women - especially black women - as nothing more than sexual creatures. So if the topic of conversation is sexual exploitation...
