The hyper/over sexulization of black women is a phenomeon that portrays Black women as sexually exotic and promiscuous depriving them of any type of innocence.When we go back in history Enslaved women were considered property and were stripped of all basic human rights  even of their own bodies ,and often were subjected to cruel and unusual sexual punishments. Enslaved women were often subjected to rape from white slave owners to fulfill their sick sexual desires. Slave owners also controlled and coerced. enslaved women into sexual positions and relationships, controlling who enslaved women laid with and had kids with , and if anybody refused they would be beaten. For my project I am going to discuss the hyper sexulization of black women in the media,video games ,history , televison and a couple other avenues and the harm sexual sterotypes have on black women.
