http://current.com/shows/the-young-turks/videos/adult-film-actress-aurora-snow-i-think-that-racism-actually-does-still-exist-in-porn I'm a big fan of Cenk Uygur on Current TV's the Young Turks. (Don't tell my Armenian grandma). Anyway, yesterday Cenk did a story on the racism in porn. Cenk was surprised in this day and age of a black president that such a phenomena is still an issue. TMZ did a story on how Alexis Texas won't do black men. Aurora Snow was on from somewhere in Kansas. She was terrific. Very poised and insightful about the career arc of women in porn and how old geezers in the industry (producers and talent agents) are still hung up on black dick in a white chick. Only 20% of Models at LA direct are "open" (hah haha) to doing black men even though it sells consistently in a time of diminished sales. Color me impressed (more hahahha)
^ did they say that Alexis Texas had a black stepfather? and that her relatives are almost all blacks? and also that she hang out with a lot of them, her BF is white though. I'm guessing whatever her reasons are for not doing IR at least on screen plain racism is not one of them
To answer your question: LCF. No they did not mention that specifically in Alexis' case. But the spin is that "I, (porn starlet) don't have a problem with black men, but I don't want my family to find out I fucked a black guy in porn." Cenk's Bronx cheer to that bullshit was: "Oh so my daughter is in porn. Well that's okay as long as she doesn't have sex with any blacks." Ludicrous. Intimidation is obviously still in play BTW - They also quoted Kristina Rose on the Young Turks. She wasn't on screen but was quoted
^ It have been stated several times on this very board from different sources including her BF so unless you can say something useful...

Cenk is an idiot. Would it also be racist if a black performer refused to have sex with whites? I bet in that situation no one would care and no one would dare call it racism, especially not Cenk Uygur. It's only racist when whites do it. Double standard. That's the "politically correct" rulebook of modern America. Racism only applies to whites. Fuck that. Also, if you personally care whether or not so and so porn girl doesn't want to have sex with blacks, you're a bit of a moron.

LCF I was just joking with you, lighten up a bit. BTW do you know she have an black step dad or not?
From what I remembered from Aurora's excellent segment: Interracial is exclusively limited to black man/white female. The reverse does not apply. Asian girls fucking white mles: not interracial. Asian girl fucking black man: Interracial
Without dragging this down. I will deign to speak to Cenk's viewpoint. A black performer is not in a position of the norm in this equation. They, as potential labor force, have limited hiring opportunities. They are an important and ever growing niche, but that phenomenon has really only come about since the rebel days of the mid 90s. In the era of Obama, it has even bloomed. There were a handful of black performers in the wooly 80s (Billy Dee passed as black fer chrissakes). Now they lead lines of their own. That has overcome industry institutionalized racism by catering to a market that the vanilla companies like Vapid, Whacked and VCA shied away from in a more closed market. Official porn back then was almost a cartel similar to OPEC. Run by gangster Jews and Sicilians, not known for their love of the schvartze/moolinyan. The internet and the move to digital cameras broke through that ossified way of doing business. And the mob guys went to jail. Anyone watch Boardwalk Empire? Remember the Chicago boss who didn't want to get into bootleg liquor b/c the profits and market share of loansharking and prostitution were profitable enough? He got whacked. Are there any black owned porn companies? I would hazard to guess West Coast. Any Black owned talent agenciesJ? Blacks are in a subordinate position as performers in the industry. If they weren't there wouldn't be a Black section in the smut shacks. They would be interfiled with all het porn.) A blackball (no pun intended) envirnoment of passive aggression (too difficult to book for fuck scenes) is not worth the risk for a black performer (who wouldn't do whites) to become blackballed when there has never been more opportunities to perform in scenes with white men/women AND blacks. So as a niche of the market, their entire goal is to catch on in the mainstream. Why be in porn at all if you are only going to limit yourself to a sliver of the market (fellow blacks only); even if that slice of the pie is growing. Especially as bookings for everyone is drying up in the age of the the Tube sites. And I agree Dispo. It is a double standard. Those exist in all businesses. The end result is to make money not break taboos. There is still a mindset that this will cost you in the South and rural Methland. It's just ludicrous neanderthal thinking that is self defeating and financially dumb.
I'm hoping to signal the end of all racism in porn when the walls of the last taboo come crashing down: A la Jericho 3500 years ago: Jewish males fucking Islamic/Arab females. James Deen donging Ava Jay. Preferably with plenty of Semitic anal, double anal and a2m. And the un-Halal/Kosher flourish of the cumfart creampie. I nominate Egypt's naked blogger, Alia El Mahdy. Fight the Muslim Brotherhood by doing porn. What better committment to secularism then coming to America to do porn. Mazel Tov! Al Hamdulillah!

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xppmbo_prince-yahshua-exclusive-interview_shortfilms#.UUJ0McjD_IU This is a good interview by Prince on racism in porn, he ever said that white girls get paid two times more then the black girls when they do IR scenes.
