about a 1/2 a step ahead of you today. I was reading and replying to your OP when the notice came I had a reply here.

So in a bullet point fashion

>women were sold as slaves for breeding capabilities.
> One doctor that I know of, used those women (and babies) for medical experiments, when the birthin' went wrong
>That doctor is acclaimed as the Father of Gyno, the women's accounts were never written down because it was illegal for blacks
to read or write
> if a slave came down with medical issues, they were lazy and immoral
> black women today are "breeders" if they have children out of wedlock (white women are unwed mothers)
>during Jim Crow blacks were pushed into abysmal schools under the "separate but equal"
>when blacks struggle in todays schools, they are lazy and their parents are thugs.
