This post is inspired by Black Supremacy Love N Unity It's been a long time coming! I would have liked to do some more research on this story but I did not get around to do so. But if you have not viewed the video (also posted on my Facebook) awhile ago, here is a brief description on who Sarah "Saartijie" Baartman a.k.a. Venus Hottentote. Sarah was a slave from Africa who's body was exploited and exhibited to Europe and given the label as a freak. She was the guinea pig to European research about black female sexuality and anatomy. Seen as profitable to her exhibitors and slave to abolitionists, Sarah lived her life with the label of a freak. For why? Because she was black, a female, and because of her body. But I did not make this post about Sarah. No. I made this posts about the new Sarahs, the Sarahs living today. And pictures, just like these and more, are displayed everywhere: in the media, on social network...
