Edition of 6
This is a stereotype of the Jungle Bunny; the hypersexual, exotic creature from another land. The aspect of being hypersexual was often used from the 1400-1940s as a reason as to why raping women of color wasn’t seen as a crime against humanity. They wanted it obviously. The term “jungle fever”, as if being involved with a person of color implies that you’ve been stricken with some sort of disease because it’s not natural for two people from different ethnic backgrounds to “love” one another. There can only be a feverish lust between the two of them, no true actual feelings of love. How could you love a Jungle Bunny? This piece confronts the stereotype of women of color being lascivious, hypersexual, animalistic, exotic beings.

Mammy Complex: Unfit Mommies Make for Fit Nannies, 2011

This is a stereotype of the Mammy. The Mammy is a natural caregiver. She’s happy serving others. She’s especially happy watching other people’s children. While the Mammy is seen as being a natural caregiver, on the other side of that coin - as a black woman, she is also seen as needing instruction or being incapable of raising her own children. This piece is all about the stereotype that black women in black communities are incapable of raising their own children, and that they are faulted for the crime and poverty that often run rampant in urban black communities. It is thought that incapable, single black moms are the reason there are poorly behaved black children that turn into poorly behaved black adults. This sentiment is felt throughout the black community by black women. When I was in NYC in 2009, and even here in New Orleans, most of the nannies I would see were black or brown minorities. It’s funny how these women are seen as perfectly capable of watching and caring for other people’s children, but not their own. To put it in historical context, black slave women were often separated from their children on the auction block, though some were often called to be nursing maids and nannies to the white children that lived in the “big house.” Separating the black woman’s children from her was seen as not cruel because it was believed that black women were callus towards their own children, and held a different set of feelings than white people had towards theirs.
