Girlhood Interrupted: The Erasure of Black Girls Childhood

[@stacyjpoliticscommunityfai359]

Thank you for the knowledge....this all stems from Slavery in the U.S. when young Black girls were put on the fields at early ages, raped, and forced to take on household responsibilities as young girls. Versus their White peers, that did not have to face these challenges.

Stacy J, MBA yeah but that doesn't mean that black people can't end it. Black people give birth to little black girls do they're the main people who have to protect every little black girl and end this horrible devastation

⁠@@jrmetmoiyou sound ignorant to the way society in the US is structured and how it functions. Most teachers are White in the US, so once a Black parent drops their child off at school, there goes the protection from exposure to this type of treatment. This is done by teachers as well as children of other races and ethnicities based on stereotypes and racially biased beliefs others hold about Black girls. There are also White parents of interracial relationships and White adoptive parents who have these internalized biases and racism who treat their Black children this way. Most Black parents also don’t have jobs where they can afford to stay home with their children and homeschool them until they’re old enough to go to college to shelter them from this maladaptive behavior. They also may or may not have the ability to teach the child(ren) in a way the child learns best, and the kid(s) may lack the necessary social education school provides by being homeschooled. There are many other things relevant to this topic on which I could expound, but this is a problem White people created that can also only be fixed by them undoing the social conditioning they started which created the problem in the first place.

@@kristallashea2190 that was was true from the 1600s through the earlier half of the 1900s but after that responsibility and accountability was black men’s and nobody else’s. If black men sexually molest and rape black girls and take away their childhoods then it’s nobody else’s fault but black men. If black men and black women ‘adultify’ little black girls by heaping the responsibilities of the households and life in general that are fit for thirty something adult people and not eight year old girls or 15 year old girls and they so often think it’s so appropriate to take away little black girls’ childhoods so much so that they call little black girls ‘little mama’ then that is the fault of black men and black women and nobody else’s. If these awful things as mentioned above are happening to little black girls whom have two black parents and whom aren’t biracial or multiracial then how are they the fault of anyone else but black men and black women? 🤔

@@kristallashea2190 There are few things I hate more than when people of all colors including black people treat little black girls like they're 25 year olds and 30 year olds. I mean how disgusting, warped and so obviously 'pro pedophile' does your mindset have to be to treat little black girls like they're women out there in the world? I mean what in the hell is wrong with you? I never look at little underaged Amy, Reagan, Morgan, Melissa, Lee Kyung, Mei Huang, Concepcion, Lupe, Ana Maria, Anisha Gupta, Ayesha Singh, Abdullah, Aziza or Melissa Red Feather Running Bear like they're 22 years old and can legally drink, pay their bills, go to nightclubs and date grown men or women so why in the name of any decent humanity left in the world am I going to treat little underaged Keisha, Tameka, Latasha, Latoya and Keyana that way?? The people who treat little underaged Keisha, Tameka, Latasha, Latoya and Keyana in that way are the kinds of criminal creatures that John Walsh and Chris Hansen need to be watching and keeping tabs on because that is absolutely despicable and unspeakable. They're trying to be slick by targeting and attacking little girls for rape by attacking the most vulnerable out there well that mess doesn't slip past me.

We have to get rid of the rap music. All that ass shaking and harmful lyrics is a lot of people’s only perception of Black women and girls. There is no soft spot for young girls in music and representation. Just hardship and exploration.
