They call me Hottentot Venus - Saartjie Baartman (Library size book)

This is the true story of Saartjie Baartman, an 18 year old girl who was put on display as a bit of erotic meat in 1810. The story is told by Saartjie herself, in simple language. It is a must-read for all young people living in a world where sexual slavery is still rife. Saartjie tells how she had innocently thought that she was being given an opportunity to see the world, to go and work as a nursery maid in London and Paris, but her dreams were shattered. How did this happen? A British surgeon saw her and decided to take her away from her homeland without permission and display her for money. Why? Because she had a big bum, which to the Cape Town then and the Cape Town of today, is nothing to stare at. But the Europeans came to touch her, poke her and stare at her as she stood for up to 12 hours in a cage in London and then in Paris. Available on Amazon - They call me Hottentot Venus by Monica Clarke, (ISBN 078-1-4092-7170-3). (Soon available in French)

well many white men are liars. they pretend they do not like Black this or that but.. now the age of cyber this digital that. their FANTASIES are played out in real life... This woman had a unique figure and these tiny white men were HOT for her..she released energy in them that they didnt even know they had. i believe that. til this day YOU and others like you are still searching for her. I think YOU like Black women and probably just got done masturbating to a big black ass /boobs

EK vind dit baie onmenslik,dat haar wense om n toekoms te bou geld te verdien misbruik was.En sulke soortgelyke dinge gebeur nog steeds hier!Ons nie net die koi koi`s word mishandel van ons X- mane en dan in die lyding word ons as "PROSTITIETE"gekenmerk en dat ons net !vir n beter lewe hiernatoe gekom het!

'she couldn't read.. nor could she write'. if she can't read, being unable to write goes without saying.....

Any white person who finds her attractive needs their head checked! They should have left her there.

these no good cracka bastards still exhibit a fetish for my Black women. I hope like hell the most high takes very good care of these demons.
