...d by insisting they do support honest research, pointing to other studies which have found no serious innate racial differences. Advocates will claim that these studies are supported only because they agree with existing prejudices; detractors argue that there are substantive differences. Such battles are frequently quite heated and often the line between scientific racism and legitimate science can be exceptionally blurry at the time of initial controversy. Although there are two sides to the discussion it seems that many modern-day Dunlop’s exist through ignorance. Still until this day ignoring the facts that Baartman was a human being and the exploitation of her for sexual purposes due to the color of her skin cannot be justified through science. This has distorted the views of sexuality that lingers upon black women of today. Moreover, Baartman's treatment in life and death owes much to the predominance of pseudo-scientific racism. It appears that George Cuvier's role was that of the scientist who must prove that Baartman was very much different. She may not even be of the human species. Fascinated by her physical features, Cuvier first examined Baartman in 1815 under the auspices of the Museum of Natural History. His report was replete with references to apes. Alluding to his desire and of Europeans to classify people according to a so-called hierarchy. The concept of the Great Chain of Being was important to Europeans. This theory implied that phenomena were placed in an order moving from God to the lowest form of creation. Accordingly, society, just as other forms of creation, was organized according to rank and status. Therefore, it was reasoned that black people had a place in nature and society that scientific investigation could identify. The means to justify this theory was through sexual alleged differences. The controversy is non-negotiable, a social injustice to say the least has occurred. The underlying question is why is this classifying still upon us today? Through a little research I have found that the hip-hop culture of today is still exploiting the sexual stereotypes that previous generations deemed to be science. The Apple Bottom search has turned Nelly into a modern day William Dunlop. Not because he does not pay these women, but because his only actual motive is to exploit.
