Re: Jezebel
in reply to a message by z.amy
I've also heard "Jezebel" as a negative , racist, stereotype for a seductive, hyper-sexualized black woman in opposition to the "Mammy" stereotype. Definitely a lot going on, and, even with attempts at reappropriation, not a great name to give a child."We have met the enemy and he is us" Walt Kelly
