![]() By reading my posts, it is not hard to tell that I am African American. I came to this board about a year ago looking for friends, thinking it would be a good place to gain info on adult business.
What I have seen during the past year truely disturbs me. Every time I post or reply to a question, I get nothing but lame, bigoted commets aimed toward me. I noticed that his bigotry is only aimed toward certain members, and is conducted mostly by webmasters who are "established" in the adult industry. From what I have seen, the adult industry is more racist than any other type of business. In my opinion, it is due to the fact that adult business is able to hide behind the First Amendment Freedom of Speech, thus allowing for such bigotry and racism. Im sure there are other non-anglo webmasters who post on this board. Have you guys experienced the same things I have? Am I overreacting? I think not. I realize that im going to get a bunch of "stop crying" or other lame responces, but what I speak, I have seen first hand. |

My nephew is named Trenton, and he is a little cracker. Nobody knows what race you are until you tell them. Stop crying. |

uh, i've never seen directly "bigoted" replies to black people on here.. if anything was sensed about your color it was because you tried too hard to make it apparent.
posting "since i'm black, i find it hard to deal with white people" or some shit is warranting some sort of reply that's negative.

most of the shit on this board is just a bunch of rowdy razzing...nothing more, nothing less...
take [Labret] for instance...reading his posts, one might assume he is a bigot and unpleasant...well, in reality, he speaks 5 languages fluently, reads magazines like People to better understand the hardships of celebrities, can always be counted on to give a few bucks to the anti-arab defamation league and once he even bent down to pet a kitty and give it a saucer of milk.... by reading here, one might assume KimmyKim is some knockout blonde with beauty and brains yet off the boards, she has a penis and her "real life" name is Frank... I, away from the board, enjoy reading the Bible, watching inspirational videos by Jerry Falwell and contribute generously to Pat Robertson's 700 Club while always eager to lead the local boy scout troupe in a jazzy rendition of "Jesus Loves Me" so, see, board appearances can be decieving.......

hate everybody equally...gets you far ... if nobody has called you the N word or said bluntly "shutup you blackie" than I don't know how you have experienced racism... Gary's opening response summed it up nicely,everybody gets flamed on message boards for one reason or another but never seriously about race I can gurantee...

Do you see toodamnfli getting ragged on? He's as black as they come, and one cool mother fucker at that. The only person who cares what color you are is yourself. Do you seriously think we all sit around and think to ourselves "hmm... I bet [Labret] is a Canadian gay jew". Well... you're damn right I do! You don't earn the privilege to bitch until you have respect. I doubt you'll ever get respect from anyone around here now. Best find another home little one...

Trenton - why do blacks in America like to call themselves 'African American', instead of black?
We all know your roots are African. White people have roots from Europe but they don't feel the need to mention it. One time I refer to this guy as black and he told me to say 'African Canadian' - I told him to call me a 'European Canadian' and he thought I was being racist or making fun of him. ![]() why the double standard? |

That's the stupidest post I have ever seen. The problem is not that the webmasters on this board hate black people like you think. It is because you are sooooooo fucking sensitive. No one is going around yelling ******, or SKIN HEAD or some racist shit like that. Everyone gets ragged on in here one way or the other... just roll with the punches.
I hate you because you're a lame ass cry baby. Get a reality check er... what should I call you? Sir? Umm... dude? I'm afraid to say the wrong thing.. you might misunderstand and call me a racisit. |

Who built the current fucking status quo??? White Anglo Males did. Oppression, forced labor, and the degradation of women has made this country what it is. The Perfect place to start a smut kindom of porn. Why is it that the hardest porn (gang bangs, bukakkes) all involved Asian girls??? You cant tell me that only Asian are willing to do that sort of porn. Content providers and webmasters are scared to involve White Girls in this sort of porn. It might upset the status quo. |

does trenton feel stupid yet? he's been quiet for awhile.
here's the scenario: a white guy hates a black guy(for any reason), the black guy says he is racist a black guy hates a white guy (because the black guy IS A FUCKING RACIST PIECE OF SHIT),the black guy says the white guy is racist. conclusion: to racist black guys, all white guys are racist there are 2 things keeping racism alive in america, the media and racist black people who refuse to let the past be past |

the bottom line is racism exists in almost every facet of American life. Quite frankly, america wasn't made for african americans to be around for this long...we are here and we arent going anywhere. Either people are going to whine and bitch about how things arent fair of they are going to haul ass and make something out of their lives. I for one refuse to sit on my ass waiting for someones handout...I have always been an ambitious guy and will always stay ahead of the game..its survival of the fittest. As long as someone doesnt say shit to my face then we are cool...im all about the DOLLAR BILL..and if at the end of the day your not on my side then we have NO BUISNESS TO DISCUSS...

I believe "Bukakke" originated in Japan. Someone once told me (a japanese guy) that when a woman was found guilty of being a whore that was her punishment.... she was made a spectacle in public by allowing all the townsmen to blow hot cock snot on her face for everyone to see.
correct me if I am wrong |

apostate's comment was half right...

Nobody can deny what the country was built on but shit isn't what it once was... the South is still rough (I'm from outskirts of Decatur) but it's still nto as bad as it was.... Keep this disccusion about the board...don't start breaking off about the country... Nobody can win that argument btw,This industry is ran by jews... jews aren't racist,it's all about the money no matter who/where/what it comes from... ![]()

TheApostate, it's true that the media and some blacks do contributeto racism but if you really believe that's all, you're very wrong. Read the article on racial profiling below.
LoveAsianChicks, a double standard exists between what whites in America or Canada call themselves and what Blacks in those countries call themselves for obvious reasons. To reaffirm their affiliation with the country that they were taken from, Africa. Perhaps many blacks don't feel American or Canadian because they've always been treated as second class citizens....that's the double standard you should be concerned about. You shoud also read the article below. Personally, I don't give a shit what anybody calls themselves or wants to be called. But since you asked the question, I proposed an answer. By Tim Wise It?s just good police work.? So comes the insistence by many?usually whites?that concentrating law enforcement efforts on blacks and Latinos is a perfectly legitimate idea. To listen to some folks tell it, the fact that people of color commit a disproportionate amount of crime (a claim that is true for some but not all offenses) is enough to warrant heightened suspicion of such persons. As for the humiliation experienced by those innocents unfairly singled out, stopped, and searched? Well, they should understand that such mistreatment is the price they?ll have to pay, as long as others who look like them are heavily represented in various categories of criminal mischief. Of course, the attempt to rationalize racism and discriminatory treatment has a long pedigree. Segregationists offer up many ?rational? arguments for separation and even slave-owners found high- minded justifications for their control over persons of African descent. In the modern day, excuses for unequal treatment may be more nuanced and couched in calm, dispassionate, even academic jargon; but they remain fundamentally no more legitimate than the claims of racists past. From overt white supremacists to respected social scientists and political commentators, the soft-pedaling of racist law enforcement is a growing cottage industry: one rooted in deceptive statistics, slippery logic, and telling indifference to the victims of such practices. As demonstrated convincingly in David Harris?s new book Profiles in Injustice: Why Racial Profiling Cannot Work (New Press, 2002), racial profiling is neither ethically acceptable nor logical as a law enforcement tool. But try telling that to the practice?s apologists. According to racial separatist Jared Taylor of American Renaissance?a relatively highbrow white supremacist organization?black crime rates are so disproportionate relative to those of whites that it is perfectly acceptable for police to profile African Americans in the hopes of uncovering criminal activity. His group?s report ?The Color of Crime?? which has been touted by mainstream conservatives like Walter Williams?purports to demonstrate just how dangerous blacks are, what with murder, robbery, and assault rates that are considerably higher than the rates for whites. That these higher crime rates are the result of economic conditions disproportionately faced by people of color Taylor does not dispute in the report. But he insists that the reasons for the disparities hardly matter. All that need be known is that one group is statistically more dangerous than the other and avoiding those persons or stopping them for searches is not evidence of racism, but rather the result of rational calculations by citizens and police. Although in simple numerical terms, whites commit three times more violent crimes each year than blacks, and whites are five to six times more likely to be attacked by another white person than by a black person, to Taylor, this is irrelevant. As he has explained about these white criminals: ?They may be boobs, but they?re our boobs.? Likewise, Heather MacDonald of the conservative Manhattan Institute has written that racial profiling is a ?myth.? Police, according to MacDonald?whose treatment of the subject was trumpeted in a column by George Will last year?merely play the odds, knowing ?from experience? that blacks are likely to be the ones carrying drugs. Michael Levin, a professor of philosophy at the City College of New York, argues it is rational for whites to fear young black men since one in four are either in prison, on probation, or on parole on any given day. According to Levin, the assumption that one in four black males encountered are therefore likely to be dangerous is logical and hardly indicates racism. Levin has also said that blacks should be treated as adults earlier by the justice system because they mature faster and trials should be shorter for blacks because they have a ?shorter time horizon.? Conservative commentator Dinesh D?Souza says that ?rational discrimination against young black men can be fully eradicated only by getting rid of destructive conduct by the group that forms the basis for statistically valid group distinctions. It is difficult to compel people to admire groups many of whose members do not act admirably.? Even when the profiling turns deadly, conservatives show little concern. Writing about Amadou Diallo, recipient of 19 bullets (out of 41 fired) from the NYPD Street Crimes Unit, columnist Mona Charen explained that he died for the sins of his black brethren, whose criminal proclivities gave the officers good reason to suspect that he was up to no good. Putting aside the obvious racial hostility that forms the core of many if not all of these statements, racial profiling cannot be justified on the basis of general crime rate data showing that blacks commit a disproportionate amount of certain crimes, relative to their numbers in the population. Before making this point clear, it is worth clarifying what is meant by racial profiling. Racial profiling means one of two things. First, the over-application of an incident-specific criminal description in a way that results in the stopping, searching, and harassment of people based solely or mostly on skin color alone. An example would be the decision by police in one upstate New York college town a few years ago to question every black male in the local university after an elderly white woman claimed to have been raped by a black man (turns out he was white). So while there is nothing wrong with stopping black men who are 6?2", 200 pounds, driving Ford Escorts, if the perp in a particular local crime is known to be 6?2", 200 pounds, and driving a Ford Escort, but when that description is used to randomly stop black men, even who aren?t 6?2", aren?t close to 200 pounds, and who are driving totally different cars, then that becomes a problem. The second and more common form of racial profiling is the disproportionate stopping, searching, frisking, and harassment of people of color in the hopes of uncovering a crime, even when there is no crime already in evidence for which a particular description might be available. In other words: stopping black folks or Latinos and searching for drugs. This is why general crime rates are irrelevant to the profiling issue. Police generally don?t randomly stop and search people in the hopes of turning up last night?s convenience store hold-up man. They tend to have more specific information to go on in those cases. As such, the fact that blacks commit a higher share of some crimes (robbery, murder, assault) than their population numbers is of no consequence to the issue of whether profiling them is legitimate. The ?crime? for which people of color are being profiled mostly is drug possession. In that case, people of color are not a disproportionate number of violators and police do not find such contraband disproportionately on people of color. All available evidence indicates that whites are equally or more likely to use (and thus possess at any given time) illegal narcotics. This is especially true for young adults and teenagers, in which categories whites are disproportionate among users. Although black youth and young adults are more likely than white youth to have been approached by someone offering to give them or sell them drugs during the past month, they are less likely to have actually used drugs in the last 30 days. Among adults, data from California is instructive: although whites over the age of 30 are only 36 percent of the state?s population, they comprise 60 percent of all heavy drug users in the state. |

Cont'd:
Although blacks and Latinos often control large drug sale networks, roughly eight in ten drug busts are not for dealing, but for possession. Drug busts for narcotics trafficking rarely stem from random searches of persons or vehicles?the kind of practice rightly labeled profiling?but rather, tend to take place after a carefully devised sting operation and intelligence gathering, leading to focused law enforcement efforts. As such, the usage numbers are the more pertinent when discussing the kinds of police stops and searches covered by the pejorative label of ?profiling.? A Department of Justice study released in 2001 notes that although blacks are twice as likely as whites to have their cars stopped and searched, police are actually twice as likely to find evidence of illegal activity in cars driven by whites. In New Jersey, for 2000, although blacks and Latinos were 78 percent of persons stopped and searched on the southern portion of the Jersey Turnpike, police were twice as likely to discover evidence of illegal activity in cars driven by whites, relative to blacks, and whites were five times more likely to be in possession of drugs, guns, or other illegal items relative to Latinos. In North Carolina, black drivers are two-thirds more likely than whites to be stopped and searched by the State Highway Patrol, but contraband is discovered in cars driven by whites 27 percent more often. In New York City, even after controlling for the higher crime rates by blacks and Latinos and local demographics (after all, people of color will be the ones stopped and searched most often in communities where they make up most of the residents), police are still two to three times more likely to search them than whites. Yet, police hunches about who is in possession of drugs, guns, other illegal contraband, or who is wanted for commission of a violent crime turn out to be horribly inaccurate. Despite being stopped and searched more often, blacks and Latinos are less likely to be arrested because they are less likely to be found with evidence of criminal wrongdoing. So much for MacDonald?s ?rational? police officers, operating from their personal experiences. Despite police claims that they only stop and search people of color more often because such folks engage in suspicious behavior more often, if the ?hit rates? for such persons are no higher than, and even lower than the rates for whites, this calls into question the validity of the suspicious action criteria. If blacks seem suspicious more often, but are actually hiding something less often, then by definition the actions deemed suspicious should be reexamined, as they are not proving to be logical at all, let alone the result of good police work. Indeed, they appear to be proxies for racial stops and searches. Nor can the disproportionate stopping of black vehicles be justified by differential driving behavior. Every study done on the subject has been clear: there are no significant differences between people of color and whites when it comes to the commission of moving or other violations. Police acknowledge that virtually every driver violates any number of minor laws every time they take to the road. But these violations are not enforced equally and that is the problem. In one New Jersey study, for example, despite no observed differences in driving behavior, African Americans were 73 percent of all drivers stopped on the Jersey Turnpike, despite being less than 14 percent of the drivers on the road: a rate that is 27 times greater than what would be expected by random chance. Similar results were found in a study of stops in Maryland. On a particular stretch of Interstate 95 in Florida, known for being a drug trafficking route, blacks and Latinos comprise only 5 percent of drivers, but 70 percent of those stopped by members of the Highway Patrol. These stops were hardly justified, as only nine drivers, out of 1,100 stopped during the study, were ever ticketed for any violation, let alone arrested for possession of illegal contraband. As for Levin?s claim that whites should properly consider one in four black males encountered to be a threat to their personal safety, because of their involvement with the criminal justice system, it should be remembered that most of these have been arrested for non-violent offenses like drug possession. Blacks comprise 35 percent of all possession arrests and 75 percent of those sent to prison for a drug offense, despite being only 14 percent of users. When it comes to truly dangerous violent crime, only a miniscule share of African Americans will commit such offenses in a given year and less than half of these will choose a white victim. With about 1.5 million violent crimes committed by blacks each year (about 90 percent of these by males) and 70 percent of the crimes committed by just 7 percent of the offenders?a commonly accepted figure by criminologists?this means that less than 2 percent of blacks over age 12 (the cutoff for collecting crime data) and less than 3.5 percent of black males over 12 could even theoretically be considered dangerous. Less than 1.5 percent of black males will attack a white person in a given year, hardly lending credence to Levin?s claim about the rationality of white panic. The fact remains that the typical offender in violent crime categories is white. So even if black rates are disproportionate to their population percentages, any ?profile? that tends to involve a black or Latino face is likely to be wrong more than half the time. Whites commit roughly 60 percent of violent crimes, for example. So if 6 in 10 violent criminals are white, how logical could it be to deploy a profile?either for purposes of law enforcement or merely personal purposes of avoiding certain people?that is only going to be correct 40 percent of the time? So too with drugs, where any profile that involves a person of color will be wrong three out of four times? Additionally, the apologists for profiling are typically selective in terms of the kinds of profiling they support. Although whites are a disproportionate percentage of all drunk drivers, for example, and although drunk driving contributes to the deaths of more than 10,000 people each year, none of the defenders of anti-black or brown profiling suggests that drunk driving roadblocks be set up in white suburbs where the ?hit rates? for catching violators would be highest. Likewise, though white college students are considerably more likely to binge drink (often underage) and use narcotics than college students of color, no one suggests that police or campus cops should regularly stage raids on white fraternity houses or dorm rooms occupied by whites, even though the raw data would suggest such actions might be statistically justified. Whites are also nearly twice as likely to engage in child sexual molestation, relative to blacks. Yet how would the Heather MacDonalds and Dinesh D?Souzas of the world react to an announcement that adoption agencies were going to begin screening out white couples seeking to adopt, or subjecting them to extra scrutiny, as a result of such factual information? Similarly, those seeking to now justify intensified profiling of Arabs or Muslims since September 11 were hardly clamoring for the same treatment of white males in the wake of Oklahoma City. Even now, in the wake of anthrax incidents that the FBI says have almost certainly been domestic, possibly white supremacist in origin, no one is calling for heightened suspicion of whites as a result. The absurdity of anti-Arab profiling is particularly obvious in the case of trying to catch members of al-Qaeda. The group, after all, operates in 64 countries, many of them non-Arab, and from which group members would not look anything like the image of a terrorist currently locked in the minds of so many. Likewise, Richard Reid, the would-be shoe bomber recently captured was able to get on the plane he sought to bring down precisely because he had a ?proper English name,? likely spoke with a proper English accent, and thus, didn?t fit the description. The bottom line is that racial profiling doesn?t happen because data justifies the practice, but rather because those with power are able to get away with it, and find it functional to do so as a mechanism of social control over those who are less powerful. By typifying certain ?others? as dangerous or undesirable, those seeking to maintain divisions between people whose economic and social interests are actually quite similar can successfully maintain those cleavages. No conspiracy here, mind you: just the system working as intended, keeping people afraid of one another and committed to the maintenance of the system, by convincing us that certain folks are a danger to our well-being, which then must be safeguarded by a growing prison-industrial complex and draconian legal sanctions; or in the case of terrorist ?profiles,? by the imposition of unconstitutional detentions, beefed-up military and intelligence spending, and the creation of a paranoiac wartime footing. Until and unless the stereotypes that underlie racial profiling are attacked and exposed as a fraud, the practice will likely continue: not because it makes good sense, but because racist assumptions about danger?reinforced by media and politicians looking for votes?lead us to think that it does. |

I got kicked out of Catholic school when I was young for defending my mom, the N.Lover. Not to mention countless encountered defending the little brothers, technically Creole, fit in with the brothers and are nowhere near as white as I. Nonetheless blood and brothers, growing up this way killed any chance of me being prejudice or racist.

If you read some of the points in the article carefully, you'll see clearly that inequities between races in the new millenium still persist.
For you to deny that is does not could only mean that you're an idiot, dillusional, or irresponsible. I agree that this entire thread was useless because nobody knows your race on this board unless you tell them. In fact, that's what's so great about this business. I could be an alien and be successful in it because nobody knows that I'm an alien. Still, the larger issue that was raised regarding racism needed to be responded to. |

like every business, same with adult business, racists do exist. Don't tell me though you are treated different on this board due to your skin color! If you are so deeply hurted from 1-2 stupid comments then you are not capable for any business. Independent skin color,lang,race,religion you'll deal with people who do not like you and with people who do like you.
