White enslavers use the term Jezebel to justify sexual violence. The Jezebel myth has since persisted reinforcing systemic oppression against black women.

What you didn't learn in school. Black women continuously face the stereotypes that they are

hypersexual crazed nymphal maniacs ruled by lust. Jezebels is the term commonly used against them.

White enslavers created this lie to justify their rape of enslaved black women. They dare to bring God into their reasoning as well.

Enslavers believe white women were virtuous in God's eyes and therefore worthy of

protection. Black women were painted as the exact opposite,

sexual deviance worthy of violence. After emancipation, many black people bought into white respectability politics.
