"For virtually five centuries the black male penis has held center stage in the Western imagination. Stereotypes about the size of black penises and sexual prowess fueled many of the atrocities committed against black men throughout the early 20th century. In the United States, Antebellum Jim Crow South, African American males were lynched and castrated, while in France around the same time until 1930, blacks were seen as fashionable and served as objects of sexual fetishism."
