6.      Body or Commodity—Not Both: Human Rights and Sexual Rights

The main interest of the author, as mentioned in his article, was not related to how the bodies of white and black women were treated as hypersexualized. On the contrary, the consideration was related to the popular culture, marketing interpretation, and framework of human rights. The report shows that popular culture interprets marketing bodies using the social science and framework of human rights. For instance, Collins notes that exhibition of black women as an animal is contemporary pornography. It means the domination symbol. When considering the fact from colonialism to the white capitalist some asymmetric sexual relationship is considered as fundamental oppression. Colonialism and capitalism are considered for different ideology and structure. Both the system of black and white are patriarchy, exploitative, and violent. During the age of European perception, the black African bodies were loaded with ideological meaning. At the beginning of colonialism bodies of women and Africans were linked with each other at the beginning of colonialism. The problem of miscegenation is considered about the European women, nature of colonies, and legitimate children. To maintain the structure of imperial foundation the racialized conditions are considered along with the exploitation of bodies of women. The popular image is considered for the hypersexual black women and they were named as lady under the colonialism. Some women including black and white women faced decolonizing construction. Unlike the foundation of work, many women face traditional issues such as black feminism and hip-hop feminism after having a negotiation with females. The author considered black female scholar that was aware of engaging in different work. The theoretical framework was considered related to the foundational black feminism. The author considered details of the connection between colonial legacy, sexism, and racism. The conventional calls to eliminate discrimination was called by black females.
