A girl who waited about the house, on her mistress, displeased her, for which the Deacon stripped and tied her up

"Next a girl who waited about the house, on her mistress, displeased her, for which the Deacon stripped and tied her up. He then handed the lash and ordered me to put it on--but I told him I never had done the like, and hoped he would not compel me to do it. He then informed me that I was to be his overseer, and that he had bought me for that purpose. He was paying a man eight hundred dollars a year to oversee, and he believed I was competent to do the same business, and if I would do it up right he would put nothing harder on me to do; and if I knew not how to flog a slave, he would set me an example by which I might be governed. He then commenced on this poor girl and gave her two hundred lashes before he had her untied.

.

After giving her fifty lashes, he stopped and lectured her awhile, asking her if she thought that she could obey her mistress, and She promised to do all in her power to please him and her mistress, if he would have mercy on her. But this plea was all vain. He commenced on her again; and this flogging was carried on in the most inhuman manner until she had received two hundred stripes on her naked quivering flesh, tied up and exposed to the public gaze of all. And this was the example that I was to copy after.

.

He then compelled me to wash her back off with strong salt brine, before she was untied, which was so revolting to my feelings, that I could not refrain from shedding tears.

.

For some cause he never called on me again to flog a slave. I presume he saw that I was not savage enough. The above were about the first items of the Deacon's conduct which struck me with peculiar disgust."

 Sandra Annette Bland was a 28-year-old woman from the Chicago area who was taken into custody by a state trooper in Prairie View, Texas, following a confrontational arrest for a minor traffic violation on July 10, 2015. Many people consider Sandra’s traffic stop to be a textbook case of rampant racial profiling.

After authorities reviewed the dashcam footage, the white state trooper who arrested Sandra was placed on administrative leave for failing to follow proper traffic stop procedures. He was subsequently indicted for perjury for making false statements about the circumstances surrounding Sandra’s arrest, and he was fired. On July 13, 2015, just three days after being arrested, Sandra Bland was found hanged in her jail cell and her death was ruled a suicide. Sandra’s untimely death spurred examinations into the racial breakdowns of pretextual traffic stops. “Driving while Black” was a trending topic as people discussed the overly aggressive stance taken by law enforcement when encountering Black motorists.

Sandra’s alleged suicide exposed the inherent racism and disparities in the money bail system. Sandra was forced to stay in jail, because she could not afford to pay the $515, she needed to post bond.

 In the year 1774 in the Dutch colony of Suriname an eighteen-year-old girl was sentenced to two hundred lashes from the whip also known as "Flagellation", her crime was that she had refused to have sexual-intercourse with an overseer. "She was lacerated in such a shocking manner by the brutal whips of two negro-drivers (FUCKING SELLOUT COONS ), that she was from her neck to her ankles literally dyed with blood.  she was thereafter made to drag around a chain several yards long affixed with a hundred-pound weight locked around her ankle for several months. 

The Heartless Dutch captured the Brutish British colony of Suriname during the Second Anglo-Dutch War (1667). Under the West India Company it was developed as a plantation slave society and became a primary destination for the Dutch slave trade. The brutal regime caused high mortality; despite the import of 300,000 slaves between 1668 and 1823, the population never grew beyond 50,000. ‘Maroonage’ became the major form of resistance. Fugitive slaves, or ‘maroons’, escaped inland to form permanent communities from where they waged a campaign of guerrilla warfare against the cruel Dutch.

Breonna Taylor was a 26-year-old Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) living in Louisville, Kentucky. On March 13, 2020, three plainclothes police officers executed a “no-knock” search warrant on her apartment while investigating two men suspected of selling controlled substances more than 10 miles away from Breonna’s home.

Shortly after midnight, police barged into Breonna’s home unannounced while she and her boyfriend Kenneth Walker lay sleeping. Kenneth, who was licensed to carry a firearm, exchanged gunfire with the officers, who fired over 20 shots. Breonna was shot eight times and pronounced dead at the scene. Kenneth was injured.

No drugs were found in Breonna’s home. The officers not only raided the wrong home but were also attempting to serve a warrant to suspects who were already in police custody. The police officers filed a clearly falsified incident report that stated Breonna had no injuries and that no forced entry had occurred. The police department said that technical errors led to a nearly entirely blank four-page report.

Brought to Europe on false pretenses by a British doctor, and sold in France to a Animal-Trainer, she was paraded around in over 200 "Freak shows" in 19th-century London and Paris, with crowds invited to look at her large buttocks as a curiosity at that time but became the subject of scientific interest as well as of erotic projection. Today she is seen by many as the epitome of colonial exploitation and racism, of the ridicule and commodification and sexualization and   dehumanization not only of black women but of people of African descent as a whole.
