Literally this. Just because I am a WOC it does not mean I want to indulge your racist fantasies. It’s not a kink, you are straight up racist and fetishising black women.

Omg how fucked up is it that so many WOC in online work have had this exact request ?

Thank you SO MUCH for speaking up about it, you all are probably part of the reason I have the privilege of not only declining racist privates but blocking and reporting the racists with an actual effect

been going through them all, heartbreaking, especially reflecting on how much this happens. Thankful for the people in this industry who gave me strength and unity through the racism (including u sexy) + all the ppl I do shows with where me being black isn’t something to degrade
There's a lot that I could say about raceplay, and unlike on Xpanded's own defunct forum, where it was among a very broad range of topics, that were forbidden, I might not be censured and censored here...
I certainly don't dispute anyone's choice not to engage in raceplay, but neither do I agree with some of the political (and aesthetic) reasoning for such rejections, nonetheless.
On Twitter, up until recently, the main form of raceplay I've encountered, is mostly #bnwo: black new world order, which is about submissive snow bunnies, white women, and dominant black men.
However, who I've been inclined to challenge, are those who treat it not as something for the private sphere, but as a political programme in earnest.
Often these are white men, who are not only disposed to being cuckolded by black men, but also want to be feminised, by and for black men.
Some of the latter who tweet about bnwo, are happy to oblige, and whilst considering themselves to be vehemently heterosexual, sometimes seem to be more interested in white men, who are generally neither remotely transgender-identified, or self-identifying as gay or bi.
Albeit this does compete for space and attention, alongside a preoccupation with non-recreational sex, which as someone who has 'antinatalist pornutopian' in their profile, is not something that interests me.
Especially as the non-recreational sex, is for the purpose of "breeding out the white race", "white genocide", which prompted me to link a BBC website article on the origins of the term genocide, in exchanges with one idiotic white guy.
Something that is particularly disappointing is that the projected image of black men, is not necessarily flattering, and not just because of some of both the professional and 'amateur' porn performers featured, are far from Adonises.
As I said to a white guy who was challenging these memes, they seem to be mostly good for being 'a bit of rough/on the side', and sperm donors.
Notwithstanding, some of my interests do at least overlap with bnwo, as I would prefer to otherwise avoid putting 'black male', in any non-porn related profile. Plus, my liking for some trans women, and the odd, exceptional (non-white) 'femboy', means I wouldn't be sufficiently heterosexual for some people . Needless to say, that would include those who think that even anal sex with 'bio'-women, renders men 'gay'! Making it a good thing that I'm not someone who's hung up on such labels.
All that is partly by way of an introduction to selected links:
"Ain't everybody somebody fetish?" [sic] is a pertinent question, asked in the notes for this 'Black Payback' scene:
https://blackpayback.com/tour/trailers/dickmatized.html
The producer/s of that website, evidently also produce 'Ghetto Gaggers', (among others, as indicated here:
https://www.pornhub.com/users/facefuckingking/channels ) such as this scene featuring one of my favourite women in porn, #boobeous Afro-Jewish, Anglo-American, Alexis Silver, better known in retirement, as Rachel Brownstein:
https://tour5m.ghettogaggers.com/tour/tr...ilver.html
There is certainly racism in porn, and other sex work, not that I agree with much of the prevailing understanding of racism, which is certainly more agreeable to me, in this 2016 article:
https://www.cracked.com/personal-experie...-porn.html than in this article on interracial porn:
https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/coul...acial-porn clumsily and illogically damning it, jumping on a Twitter bandwagon in the global hysteria following the killing of George Floyd.
I have previously linked this article:
https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/boob...-butt-guys from that latter website, which more soberly comments on the characteristically absurd meme, that 'boob guys' are right-wing, whilst 'butt guys' are left-wing, which I did respond to, from a non-porn related Twitter account, where I was following someone who was earnestly making that 'argument'.
Also worth looking up, is the 2017 hysteria surrounding raceplay on the ManyVids web platform.
As part of my disagreements with contemporary anti-racism, I'm rather suspicious of a lot of academic research, but I think this American study that found that black women are "invisible", relative to even black men and white women, is worth considering:
https://psmag.com/social-justice/the-inv...color-5560
It certainly chimes with instances I've been aware of, throughout my life.
I also think it's pertinent to the subject of this thread.
One of the problems with contemporary anti-racism, is that it mostly presumes that racialised differences in USA, have much in common with similar problems in this and other countries. I wouldn't agree, and not in a patriotic way, but as a proletarian internationalist.
One instance of how those differences have been obscured, is the 2014 row about a purportedly 'racist chair' artwork. That prompted an absurd 'debate' which split a splinter of the Socialist Workers Party, following some arguing in favour of raceplay.
The controversy had the hallmarks of American Maoism.
It made the pages of the Times, which is paywalled, and a jpeg I had is no longer available.
It's worth looking up generally, even if the labyrinthine character of left-wing political organisations, might be even more exhausting for those who are unfamiliar with them.
Also worth looking up, is black woman blogger, Mollena.
