  5. Slavery & Religious Beliefs • Proponents of slavery did not consider slavery contradictory to Christian theology. Rather, they justified the practice by citing verses in the Hebrew Bible and the Gospels, including Genesis 9:25-27, in which Noah’s grandson Canaan is condemned to slavery: “Cursed by Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers.” • Bronksi writes, “the biblical justifications for slavery, not unlike the biblical justifications for the condemnation of same-sex sexual activity, were used to both enforce draconian Laws and justify extraordinarily harsh punishments” (p. 23)

  9. Ma Rainey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjRn7_cC8N4 Ma Rainey: Prove It On Me Blues" Went out last night, had a great big fight Everything seemed to go on wrong I looked up, to my surprise The gal I was with was gone. Where she went, I don’t know I mean to follow everywhere she goes; Folks say I’m crooked. I didn’t know where she took it I want the whole world to know. They say I do it, ain’t nobody caught me Sure got to prove it on me; Went out last night with a crowd of my friends, They must’ve been women, ‘cause I don’t like no men. It’s true I wear a collar and a tie, Makes the wind blow all the while Ma Rainey

  10. “Prove it on Me Blues,” continued Don’t you say I do it, ain’t nobody caught me You sure got to prove it on me. Say I do it, ain’t nobody caught me Sure got to prove it on me. I went out last night with a crowd of my friends, It must’ve been women, ‘cause I don’t like no men. Wear my clothes just like a fan Talk to the gals just like any old man Cause they say I do it, ain’t nobody caught me Sure got to prove it on me. Advertisement for the song. Notice the woman in a suit.
