Abstract

This work develops and conceptualizes a new theory, Post Traumatic Slave Master Syndrome, that is utilized to critically correlate historic patterns of lynching Black women to contemporary violent state (actor) responses to Black women’s resistance, specifically relating to the neo-lynching of Korryn Gaines and Sandra Bland. This work deviates from the tradition of analyzing the history and contemporary effects of racism and white supremacy, patriarchy, lynching, policing, and state-sponsored violence from the perspective of the effects upon the victim and instead critiques how white supremacy affects the perpetrator. This chapter contributes to ensuring that Black women resisters continue to #SayHerName.

  • White supremist values continue to oppress, marginalize, isolate, govern, police, subjugate, reduce, and justify control and violence against Black women, from the lynching of Mary Turner to institutionalized racism endured by Black women professionals in academia.

    “From the lynching of Mary Turner and her unborn baby, the execution of Breonna Taylor, to institutionalized racism endured by Black women professionals in academia, White supremist values continue to serve to oppress, marginalize, isolate, govern, police, subjugate, reduce, and justify control and violence against Black women (Beauboeuf-Lafontant, 2009;Collins, 2000;Spencer & Perlow, 2018).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
