Did you know that there were Human Zoos on display in Europe and America from the 1870’s to the 1950’s? These public exhibits of humans,often called Negro Villages, usually showed indigenous people in a so-called natural or primitive state. The displays often emphasized the cultural differences between Europeans of Western civilization and non-European peoples.

Above is a photo from Amsterdam Holland around 1890, of an African child in one of these Human Zoo exhibits,being fed like an animal by white spectators.

What in all the fucks?!

Reasons why that pet my hair shit and all that isn’t cute. I didn’t know these places existed until the 50s tho, jeez. Fucking sick. And that baby is just a beautiful child that’s so terrible

• Why you can’t pet my hair
• Why you aren’t bringing me in to shit
• Why the rhetoric of curating and introducing grown as people is iffy as FUCK
• Please note 1950 as a date of continuance. They were doing this while my mom was ALIVE. And while civil rights was started.

White history.

1950. Just before my dad was born. When my grandparents were in their 20s/30s. But y’all wanna talk about ancestors like there aren’t living breathing racists walking around. Racism is shit you learned from your fucking grandparents and parents and uncles and shit. That shit didn’t fall out of the sky. That shit isn’t encoded in your DNA. Learned behavior. Just like how you learned to walk. 

Some of your grandparents probably went to a “zoo” like this. brb vomiting.
