Why Society Should Stop Calling Black Women Strong.

In a study by Georgetown Law, they found that adults see Black girls as less innocent and more adult-like than their White peers.

Because there are already discrepancies in law enforcement, the idea that Black girls are “strong” and more mature leads to harsher punishments and more use of force against young Black girls than young White girls.
