Conclusions...

Although, I have enjoyed many of the conversations pertaining to black women's images in popular culture, such as:

• Prof Amina Mama's Exhuming the Ratchet before it’s Buried
• The Crunk Feminist Collective's  (Un)Clutching My Mother's Pearls, or Ratchetness and Residue of Respectabilty and Ratchet Feminism
• Hannington Dia's Michaela Angela Davis looks to 'Bury the Ratchet' and others

It is important to clarify that my questions about black women's images are not rooted in ideas of respectability or philosophies of liberation within feminism. 

My questions are more about if and how these images resembling the sensasionalized Baartman may be representative caricatures of black women that are architectured and engineered for consumption for the masses.

And if the popular images of black women resembling the sensationalized Baartman caricature are becoming even further reductive than historically noted minstrels, such as the mammy and jezebel figures.
