Nude photos of each of these women were published without their consent setting off court battles that ended in victory for the white male establishment. The white power structure has always sought to institutionalize its dominance over women through legislation, social policy, and religious tenet. The law evidently has more faith in menas seen by the pattern of legal decisions it has handed down which amount to little more than sexual abuses against women.

And once this is done, the white power structure can rationalize their social abuse of the black woman as keeping with her natural abilities, inclinations, stubbornness, and hot bloodedness.
