as some of us dunno, African slaves started to shape the lives of the slave master and their friends. Aside from the economy value that the Africans had, the white masters were always stealing from blacks and making what they stole stole better. Tap dancing is original to the black people. So is jazz abd rap.then they were many inventions that were stolen from the Africans. Black were made to sit down and tell stories of their homeland in their languages. The masters made them STAND UP, to entertain them and their friends, who became regular guest, when they found out that these slaves could not just work, but dance,sing aand entertain. And because the new language was spoken with lots of imperfections, it was called BROKEN. The slaves had to communicate and having been brought from all different parts of Africa and joined together, so it was hard to find one person from say DAHOMEY, who spoke the same dialect as the calabari man , who spoke the same dialect as the calabari man who was thrown into a boat, (with random picking s of all strong men and women) heading to sugarcane farms was nearly impossible. So to the few words they picked from the lips of their masters became their lingua franca, albeit broken. The black slaves women were made to breastfeed the children of the slave masters. Why?
They (white ) figured out that the children fed by black slaves women grew up to be stronger and more less prone to illnesses.
It was also becoming clear, going by the number of half castes children across the western world , that the backside and voluptuous breasts of the black slaves was a problem. So the white women started to pad their bras and as the picture suggested. ........wished they were thus ENDOWED too.
