#TeachSwell | Black and Brown History Everyday: The Graphic Tragic Story of Sarah Baartman 😳😲
She was made to perform various tricks, such as dancing and singing, for the entertainment of these spectators. She was treated poorly during this time, and she was not paid for her performances, but she never allowed herself to be exhibited nude. An account of her appearance in London in 1810 makes it clear that she was wearing a garment, but it was a tight fitting one. She became a subject of scientific interests, racial bias frequently, as well as erotic projection

I'm going to be honest here, was man, I see booty every day, I see butt every day, and I try to duck it, but I see it every day, and they obviously want me to look at it. Now, who conditioned us not to remember that we were first conditioned to be looked at, to have all of our privacies abandoned, to be the object of critique and of scorn instead of like, communal acceptance and inclusion in both mind and body

Thank you so much. That was really in depth. I mean, that's a whole conversation by itself. How do we get conditioned to be able to forget, quote unquote, what happened to us and to just move forward? How do we get conditioned to accept what happened to us and just move forward and be okay with it? That's a whole nother swell. But anyway, thank you so much for coming on here

But the hope, like Dr. King had, the hope for all of us, is that we will get to a point in our society, especially in american society, but global society, because we are of one planet, one race. The human race is to find peace and unity amongst all of us, not just within our community. And I would say even phrases like black on black crime, I've definitely said it many times

Yes. Thank you so much. It is a very tragic story only because of how she, well, truly, because how she was exploited. It makes no sense to me that people would treat people like animals like this. We're not in a petting zoo. We don't need to be touched because we have prominent body parts. She was abused. She was probably raped, molested, just, just, I can't even think of her mindset to survive
