According to Ferris State University’s Jim Crow Museum, the Biblical term “Jezebel” was used as a stereotype “during slavery as a rationalization for sexual relations between white men and Black women, especially sexual unions involving slavers and slaves.” The museum states that the term’s usage mocks and objectifies African women, and it plays off of the same problematic images of Blackness pushed and created by European colonists.
