We have ample evidence of the sexual abuse of enslaved women - you can see that in the skin color of most black folks who live in the US.

We know they raped their male slaves too, but it doesn’t produce physical evidence. But a lot of the obsession with the size of black men’s penises starts in the mid 1800s.

The Delectable Negro is a fascinating read about disturbingly erotic cannibalism of enslaved folks. They ate Nat Turner after they put his rebellion down, and the descriptions are just weird.

Holy fuck they made purses out of the guy and they're still figuring out which skull is his. What. The. Fuck.

(Good thing we’d never do something as awful as mutilate the corpses of black rebels as prizes/lose track of them in the enlightened 20th century.)[https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/apr/22/move-bombing-black-children-bones-philadelphia-princeton-pennsylvania]

The bones of Black children who died in 1985 after their home was bombed by Philadelphia police in a confrontation with the Black liberation group which was raising them are being used as a “case study” in an online forensic anthropology course presented by an Ivy League professor.

It has emerged that the physical remains of one, or possibly two, of the children who were killed in the aerial bombing of the Move organization in May 1985 have been guarded over the past 36 years in the anthropological collections of the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton.

How we view that past is how we treat the present. The fact Nat Turner's family has not gotten closure is reflected in our more modern acts of racism.

The evidence is Presidential.

Wait, so you're saying my friends named Washington and Franklin might have some dark history?
