I started a thread HERE a while back which spoke about the growing number of black/mixed female performers turning their backs on black porn and only working with Caucasian and Latino males. Sadly it got derailed and ultimately locked due to petty arguments that had nothing to do with the topic at hand.
Well i've just read an interesting article HERE which discusses the well known race problems that lay within the porn industry. With James Dean in particular sharing his disappointment at what is currently going on in the business as it pertains to women working with black men.
Of course this has been debated a great deal over the years but one thing that really caught my attention in the midst of the article was Isiah Washington's comments...this is what he saidThinking about it the mixed race performer who said that to Isiah i would guess it would be either Cassidy Banks, Liza Rowe, Jaye Austin, Adrian Maya or Anya Ivy as they all practice this trend!!...but who knows? The list is certainly growing though. Jazzy Jamison, Isabella Chrystin, Jezabel Vessir, Neo Milk, Ava Sanchez, Peyton Rain, Ajas XXX also ring a bell. While veterans like Diamond Jackson stopped working with black men a few years ago too.
The thing i wonder about with all this stuff going on is what does the future really hold for the black male performers in this porn industry when the majority of the female performers, from every single background be it White, Black, Asian and Latino, don't want to work with them? Hell even some BBW's are doing the same thing now (smh). But my point is regardless of the race issues that have plagued the porn industry since it's inception, black porn has always been a platform for black male performers to get into the industry and even have regular shoots. But today the black porn genre is suffering due to porn studios (especially the whole of Florida) turning their noses up at it and now this new trend amongst black female performers not wanting to work with black males. So what fans of the genre are seeing these days are the same females like Chanell Heart, Teanna Trump, Leyton Benton, Ana Foxx, Misty Stone etc working with the same black males!!..so there's rarely anything fresh on the table.
I hope the likes of Isiah Washington and the other hard working black male performers keeps their heads up in the face of this...adding to what the mixed chick told Isiah you have Any Ivy putting "no black men" on her agency card and Adrian Maya trashing black men in interviews so I'm sure many would be very disappointed with what they are seeing.
