Black women, especially typical African women, boast of having the biggest natural booties of all race. South African lady who was the center of attraction in 19th century because of her gigantic buttocks is once again making headlines thanks to Beyonce.
Saartjie Baartman went through hell just because she possessed booty that mesmerized colonial masters.
The South African was taken as a slave from Bushmen tribe some 200 years ago and displayed in freak shows due to her unusually big buttocks.
She was later borrowed by scientists for experiments. Saartjie died in 1815 of alleged alcoholism and syphilis aged 25.
Even in her death, European continued to abuse her. Her corpse was sketched extensively, a cast was made of it and a surgeon removed her genitals which were on display in Paris until the 1970s, along with her skeleton.
It was only in 2002, after a personal appeal by Nelson Mandela, who was born in the same remote, rural part of South Africa, that her remains were returned for a dignified burial.
Jay Z’s wife has been mauled severely after news popped that she was writing and starring in a film about Saartjie Baartman.
Critics have been firing salvos at the ‘Drunk In Love’ songstress on social media and other relevant platforms.
34-year-old Beyonce has been accused of lacking basic human dignity for her desire to play the South African. Unconfirmed report indicates Bey has since backed down.
