" Although the pornography industry reportedly generated a staggering $10 billion per year at one point, the blue movie biz may be plagued by the age-old looming specter of racism. Based on the accounts of a popular White starlet, the industry’s leaders are older White men who feel that actresses lessen their value when working with Black male actors.
Aurora Snow, a 12-year veteran, wrote an op-ed last month for “The Daily Beast” explaining the machinations of racism in the business. In the piece, Snow recounts a time where an agent warned her from working with African-American men onscreen.
An excerpt from Snow’s op-ed
When I first got into the adult-film business about 12 years ago, one of the most confusing things my agent asked was whether I “did interracial.” I was completely baffled. So the old man clarified: “Do you do black guys?” I was shocked at what seemed a racist question. As I sat on his dusty couch in a small, smoke-filled office, it suddenly felt like I was in another era: the black-and-white one.“The Root” hopped in on the debate by bringing into the conversation African-American male performer Lexington Steele, a former stockbroker and one of the most popular adult entertainers ever. His take on the industry’s supposed racist practices supports what Snow wrote, adding that it doesn’t begin with the actresses themselves.
Lexington Steele told “The Root”:
It’s definitely something that exists, and I think it’s something that’s built within the fabric of the industry, because if you look at the individuals that are in positions of authority over some of the white females, the ones governing them are the ones implementing this practice of no interracial. It’s their managers, boyfriend or husband or family members.Steele’s insider observation is of particular interest, considering he exists in a rarefied position as a Black man who is the owner of an adult film company and director. Coupled with the fact he is the only person to win Adult Video News’ (AVN) coveted “Performer Of The Year” award three times, Steele’s take comes with measurable weight." [Source]
It’s just an element of American culture that still exists, and that is the feeling that a white female will be deflowered or soiled, if you will, by doing a scene with a black male. But that does speak to the continued existence of bigotry and racism, and I don’t think porno is unaffected by certain elements of American culture. And quite honestly, adult media is the only major business that allows for the practice of exclusion based upon race.
Ahhm, sorry Lex, I am just not fighting the good fight for equality for folks in your business. I think we have other areas that are a little more important in the civil rights pecking order. Besides, I hear that thanks to your "measurable weight", (pun intended) you do what you do with quite a few co-stars of the Caucasian persuasion. Not that I know this personally. Someone happened to tell me after I Googled your name for this post......
Finally, I am glad to hear that O apologized to Kamala Harris. Although honestly, we all seemed to be more worked up over the entire episode than she was. Besides, it seems like she has been looking in O's direction as well:
"Harris, it turns out, once commented on Obama's appearance. The San Jose Mercury News found a 2009 YouTube video in which she says: "He looks and he sounds like a million bucks."
Still, O should understand the historical sensitivities that come with commenting on a woman's looks in such a way. And I am sure that he realized that it was a dumb comment to make publicly. But, as I posted yesterday, it is not something worth dwelling on.
There is no doubt that Ms. Harris is a very well qualified woman. She just happens to be easy on the eyes. A blogger from Philly posting on his blog can say that. The president, on the other hand, not so much.
So you all can stop beating up on my girl Zerlina Maxwell and others who got on O's case now. Let's all just hold hands and move forward.
Field, why are you so two-faced? Racism in pornography is rampant and you don't have time to chase the big R in porn? Are you racist about Black and White sex in the movies? There is nothing better than having a six pack of Red Stripe and jerk chicken while watching an interracial porn XXXX rated movie.
ReplyDeleteFYI: The world's best actors work in the porn industry.
Field, YOU of all people, ought to be standing straight up for equal intercourse on the silver screen.
I don't think I can name one president who hasn't fooled around while in office LOL!
ReplyDeleteIt comes with the territory, the power and the money, the money and the power.
Now I am not referring to the particular young woman in question.
But it's one of the hazards of the job. And we all know that there's always women willing to bat their eyelashes and flatter up a storm to get ahead (pun intended)
I'm sure the big (pun intended) O if he hasn't done it yet, will at some point. and I say "Go for it O! Go for the gusto"!!! You only live once! :))
"Based on the accounts of a popular White starlet, the industry’s leaders are older White men who feel that actresses lessen their value when working with Black male actors."
ReplyDeleteThat is nothing new. It's a fact of life in America. White women do lessen their value when working with Black male actors.
Did you see the movie Flight? Remember the white actress who made love with Denzel Washington? Has anybody seen her in another movie since then? The answer is "NO". I rest my case.... and that wasn't even an adult porn movie.
White actresses have to be very careful about the character they play in relation to black men. It could end their career. Brother Field, you ought to know this.
All symbolism baby. So what if blacks kill each other- as long as we can make everybody take in some token blacks, that's all that matters. Even in porn. Ah, feelin' good is so much better than results.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteYeah well I just Googled Lex Steele, and I'm calling him man of steel now
Mmmm, mmm, mmm! That's some site!:)))
So have you seen those AT&T commercials with a doofus and group of young kids? I swear the kid that does the stupid head/hand wave and the one that does lame rhyme are closest to black. Then what about the Discover card customer service tv commercial that has a black woman? Just another stereotype. What is with the ad agencies?
ReplyDeleteRacism in the porn industry? Of course, it’s as Amerikkkan as apple pie and Chevrolet. It’s a staple of the Amerikkkan way, … isn’t? This strange phenomenon we refer to as racism will never see the sun set on it’s allure to certain groupuscules within this kountry. To think in post racial (this is silly) terms or that racism is no longer an issue, is to willingly brand yourself as a fool.
ReplyDeleteI guess that this is the price blacks must collectively pay for wanting to integrate as opposed to separating! Personally, I believe that this is one of the biggest mistakes that took place during the civil rights era.
In fact, the trials and tribulations that blacks suffered from the Black Code era, the Jim Crow era and well into the 1960’s and now, wasn’t a civil issue at all, it was a HUMAN RIGHTS issue then, just like it still is today.
Therefore, and collectively, blacks must quit falling for the infantile tricknology of white folks and usher in a new social era through their consciousness and social movements. And the only way for this to be effective, is through mass organization.
This blog is turning into a gossip column.
ReplyDeleteI once represented a Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon accused of botching breast implants in an up and coming adult film actress. In the process of discovery, I deposed her and a major producer in that industry. Both testified that "doing Black", just like "doing Anal" was a premium paying ability, because both "extras" were unpopular with talent and their agents / managers. It is clearly true that Racism exists within that industry. Equating Race with "the dirty hole" is obvious Racism.
ReplyDeleteMan, we still have professional sports teams named "Redskins" and we offended when the man calls an attractive woman attractive? SMDH
ReplyDeleteSome of you people need Jesus.
ReplyDeleteDesert, you better be in church tomorrow morning.:)
"Then what about the Discover card customer service tv commercial that has a black woman?"
Hate it!
Kelly Reilly, the lead actress in Flight is British.
ReplyDeleteShe has one movie out now, two more coming out this year and is currently filming a fourth. There's no evidence that playing opposite Denzel Washington hurt her career any more than it did Milla Jovavich's.
Field NICE!

You have it exactly backwards.
It is anti-assimilationism that has ghettoized Black America.
It was understandable that after so long a period of mistreatment, Blacks would want to pull away, regroup, and come back on their own terms. However, white liberals have kept Blacks in a perpetual state of rage and fear, consciously keeping Blacks out of the mainstream in order co-opt their claims and keep them under their patronage.
Trumpeting every facet of Black culture as positive and ignoring dysfunctional behavior has led to a hollow pride devoid of self-reflection. All problems are externalized, subsequently there is no drive to do better.
Those basic life choices that are the foundation of a successful life - graduating from high school and not having children until you are married - are seen as "acting white".
Most other immigrant groups get with the program and thrive in America. Many blacks have too, including most of those who read this blog. Was it Afrocentrism that got you where you are today? Keeping it "Real"? Assimilating with the mainstream more or less is essential. You don't have to watch hockey, sit quietly in Church, or eat at Cracker Barrel - just the basics. Otherwise you will spend your life swimming against the current.
This is hilarious! The Civil Rights movement was all about da white women yo! Of course we here know this, but so many whites think it was about, oh whatever. Let's just make a law saying that all white women must be accessible to all homeskillets, maybe that will be 'justice' at last?

Huh, you seem to be saying that whites as a groupuscule are standard bearers. Is that what you’re reall enunciating? Ssshhhh, it’s best that you check YOUR history. Whites are the only group of people who’ve dropped an atomic bomb literally on the heads of another group of people; whites are the only group of peoiple who’ve intentionally decimated another group of people through germ warfare; whites are the only group of people who’ve sporadically set others ablaze while whites attend such an event enmasse with a smile as if it was a civic event; whites are the only group of people who’ve enslaved another group of people because they were deemed “soulless” (Catholics).
Now you have the audacity to say that it was anti-assimilation and the dysfunctional patterns that ghettoized black Amerikkka. Granted, a large portion of blacks are dysfunctional but it’s not to say that the white man’s hands are entirely clean also.
In summary, I highly encourage you to ask your doctor for an increase of medication dosage!
I have a whole lot more to say but I must now return to work. Yes, I know what you’re thinking, but some black men do have a job these days, even while ObomBer is the President. Hard to fathom eh!

Dear Mr Field, I find this comment politically incorrect. Please delete this from the comment section.
Also, the comment is as wrong as two left shoes. Women, Black and White, want to be loved. The size of a man's penis does not matter. Women have been saying this for decades, and there is no reason for them to lie.
Field, you should do a post about this because some of your posters are wrong about this.

Those acts that you’re referring to occurred during the clash of arms or war. Hell, almost any thing happens during conflicts of such magnitude. The kkk literally hanged, drowned and burned blacks simply due to their skin tone or some other trumped up incident purpotedly because some white women alleged that a black man whistled at her.

Could you at least give me another example of a religion mostly followed by people of color that enslaved whites because they were deemed “soulless”?
Hahahaha, I had no idea that a troglodyte could be so darn dense. You are truly shattering all of the prior records already in one post. Perhaps you should join O’Reilly at Fox News since you’re so smooth at spinning historical events!

ReplyDelete"The kkk literally hanged, drowned and burned blacks simply due to their skin tone or some other trumped up incident purpotedly because some white women alleged that a black man whistled at her. "
Nearly 3,500 African Americans and 1,300 whites were lynched in the United States between 1882 and 1968, mostly from 1882 to 1920.
Since 1968, over 70,000 whites have been murdered by blacks, many times for no reason at all, simply because they were white. In 2010 alone, 1600 whites were killed by blacks, versus 560 blacks killed by Hispanics, Asians or whites.
Most crime is within the same race, but when it's interracial, it is 94% black on white.
Know the facts before you speak. You won't look like such a fool.

It is obvious that I hit a nerve and a bredren took the bait hehehehehe I see that I still have the ability to bring order to the court checkmate!
Field an Atty /Abrogado is being TOLD" to remove my comment about"PENIS ENVY" and the big bone lovers. Why? CONTROL of an Afrikan!
And mi gente, as a woman. where it is true that all humans wants love as part of the ideal relationship some of us also like a large bone People women have been lying for years about what they really want, to the point of faking the funk!
Why? Many sisters and others are also unwilling to tell a mate that small is not sufficient And unless one is a woman there is no way to tell what makes us tick?
Its an EGO thing and saying anything that make many men feel as if he is not getting the job done can be chaotic and dangerous
hmmm.
Now as for the removal of my comment, I can live with that albeit, i hope that it does not happen even though it seems to burning holes in the psyche of the small nuts and bat owners.
Bottom line
A thick bone makes sense to me vs A thin meatless bone It's like the difference between a broomstick going through the center of a tire swing and a telephone pole going through it, lol... I really couldn't think of a less lame analogy than that, my apologies
I live in FLA and when the hurricanes hit we definitely prefer a large life boat hehehehehe
No more comments

ReplyDeleteAs an in your face respectful woman i have not read a lot of the rebuttal or a lot of the inane silliness here BUT i have yet to demand from an Afrikan that he remove any comments made here
Field you know my story and you know that i refuse to bite my tongue and that i am never disrespectful
Now to all of you who disagree with PENIS ENVY get over it If the shoe fits wear it and if it does not consider my point.
Unless bredren/sistren have spoken to all women about thier choice in size WHAT IS THE POINT of censorship?
Whose toes have i stepped on?
Whose ego have i checked
Who cannot stand at attn
As an Afrikan i have been told what to say, what not to say and be careful what you say however to my discredit i have been known to do that. WHEN I WAS 25!
Now as someone who is a member of the bar in 3 states and the DC
I stand my ground And repeat PENIS ENVY is the issue

Just saying:
ReplyDeleteOne thing most colleagues know about me is that
when I finally choose to challenge an ITTY BITTY BONE i am also willing to stand my ground while preparing for a laugh..Why is that?
For eye, there is nothing like or quite as entertaining as reading about an intelligent educator when nhe/she tries to (sic) bring a pencil to a chess game
For those of us who play chess or even checkers, we all know that without a solid support system plan etc or good QUEEN who stands solidly behind the KING there is no survival. am i hitting any nerves? hehehehe
We know as well, that the rook pawn knight castle and the lowly bishop cannot hold their positions without a strong KING
And like the strong Queen i am, i always admire and hold in awe any Afrikan King who can communicate out of strength vs weakness and fear vs those who try to drop downlow enmity.
So have no fear, come to me (step to me) like a King and debate me
Ps Or is there fear that Field will bounce you? Please have no fear Field is a soljah and he knows that I can handle anything and anyone.
Debating is my game it keeps me thriving, patient, and attentive However and more importantly like my father said yrs ago. Its not what an Afrikan man says its what he is afraid to say that will kill him and keep him in his place..Is there anyone here who still prefers to enter through the back door?
Gracias with mucho amor LOL
Correction about LYNCHINGS
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing worse than a person who rushes to support info which is erroneous in order to make another look bad duh! Who does that
2300.00 whites were lynched in the United States between 1822 and 1974 This is a far cry from what anonymous shared here.
And what is this about making someone look bad?
Who lynched the white boys? certainly not the Afrikan
Immediately following the end of Reconstruction, the Federal Government of the United States restored white supremacist control to the South and adopted a lets call it a laissez-faire policy in regard to the Afrikan. Bottom line the Afrikan was betrayed by amerikkka This resulted in the Afrikan disfranchisement, social, educational and employment discrimination, and peonage. Deprived of their civil and human rights, the Afrikans were reduced to a status of quasislavery or second-class citizenship. A tense atmosphere of racial hatred, ignorance and fear bred lawless mass violence, murder and lynching.
Now, for those who care and can pass it on, while dropping their EGOs FYI the slaver has killed more Afrikans than any Afrikan has murdered whites, and this has been from conception of our removal from our mother
Also Afrikans do not let the caspar get grand and pretend that wiki has the facts or that it tells the truth What is does do is set the tone for white supremacist to kill prosecutors, police and citizens at will
The chickens are coming home to roost And my people people do not believe the hype, and esp no other lies, myth or made up rhetoric used from the internet to prove a point

Science: Women Prefer Larger Penises
"I like small penises," said no women interviewed for an actually scientific study released Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, or PNAS. Yes, PNAS is a funny sounding acronym, and, yes, PNAS has found that size does matter — and that women prefer "showers" to "growers."
RELATED: Mutton Parts, Randy Cartoonists, and Expensive Taste
"As past studies have shown, women prefer tall men with broad shoulders and narrow hips, like an Olympic swimmer. But when [Dr. Brian] Mautz controlled for those variables, it turned out that penis size (overall length and girth) was about as important as stature," reports the team over at NBC News.
Staying in a Good Mood; Drinking a Bit More
Mautz and his team at the University of Ottawa showed pictures of "life-sized male figures" to 105 Australian women, who seemed to prefer spending more time gazing at the diagrams with larger flaccid male members — and rated them higher, too:
“As you increase penis size, the amount of attractiveness scores gets bigger” in a linear fashion, he explained, until 7.6 centimeters, or 3 inches. After three inches, attractiveness still increased, but in smaller increments.
Not only were the ratings higher, but the women also spent more time gazing at the generously endowed figures, a sign they preferred looking at them as opposed to figures with smaller penises.
So basically a three-inch unexcited penis is the point of diminishing returns, according to the best currently available scientific research. NBC News and Mautz don't say if there was any variance on growers — men who claim to be, um, more "manly" than they first appear when in at an excited state. But here's the baseline finding from the study's abstract:
Penis size had a stronger effect on attractiveness in taller men than in shorter men. There was a similar increase in the positive effect of penis size on attractiveness with a more masculine body shape (i.e., greater shoulder-to-hip ratio). Surprisingly, larger penis size and greater height had almost equivalent positive effects on male attractiveness.
PNAS, to be clear, isn't The Onion or Cosmopolitan (not that there's anything wrong with either). It's actually a scientific journal that's been around since 1914, and according to Science Watch, they were the second-most cited journal between the years of 1999-2009. Yes, 105 women isn't the world's, uh, biggest sample size, but PNAS is far from one of the junk-science journals detailed on the front page of Monday's New York Times.
