That's not surprising. It falls in line with the American paradigm of Black women being "the seductress" who "white men can't resist." Just like slave times when this excuse was used by white men who raped our mothers, daughters, and sisters. Even today we continue to be seen for our physical attributes instead of our minds. Evidence: The Williams' sisters who get talked about for their "beauty" and "power" rather than their skill. Beautiful and power, sounds kind of like how one refers to animals to me. Hmmm...
