emphasizes the concept that women of color have been oppressed and, time and time again, have not received any sort of reconciliation. White explains that it's quite difficult to find specific facts about what women of color stood up to during the time, but if you look hard enough, you'll surely find them. White clarifies the two major archetypes that women of color were forced to identify with. The first being Jezebel, the highly inappropriate and submissive character, was created from the white man's distorted view of women of color's choice of clothing that women chose in order to work comfortably in the most efficient manner. Many women worked in the heat outside, which required them to roll up their tops and bottoms in order to avoid overheating which would cause their work to slow down. The second archetype, that of Mammy, was created to somehow comfort white women. Slave owners wanted reassurance that slaves were equipped and efficient. White indicates that Mammy slaves were not appreciated for a long time because they contracted the idea that white women were of any use in their own lives.
