thinblackbeauty:bbshipper:You don’t understand how hard this was to watch. It is difficult on so many levels. It’s painful to reflect on this as the lived experience of those who came before. It’s very painful to wrap my mind around this as something that could have been my experience had I been born in that time. It’s painful to consider the multiplicity of injustices at work to create this type of degradation; she is not even granted the power to keep her body clean. It’s not enough that her body is invaded and abused at the whim of these two, she is not allowed to bath away the marks and filth they leave on her.I don’t think people are really considering what this actress had to draw on to make this scene what it was. And so the night of the Academy Award, I will just sit and wait to see how this will go down.I’m crying. -- source link
