Intersectional Sexualities-TW

Intersectionality refers to how multiple systems of oppression experienced at the same time create a different experience of oppression than if experienced individually. These systems include sexism and racism, and this intersectionality can be observed in the Hyper-sexuality of Africans:

  • African women have been portrayed as highly sexual and lusty
  • African men have been portrayed as savage sexual predators
  • African sexualities have been used to justify racism
  • Since African women were portrayed as over-sexualized they were raped by slave owners; African men could be lynched because they were seen as dangerous predators
