I'm looking for examples of blackface in porn - aside from The Seven Seductions (which also features "yellowface," a very common feature in porn), Deep Inside Vanessa Del Rio, and that Kieran Lee music video (which isn't porn), I am struggling to think of any. There have to be other Dark Bros. movies too right?
To clarify (if you even care), this is for an article I'm writing, not because I get off on blackface.

^I think that it was used in at least one BlackonBlackCrime.com scene.

^ Thanks. 60 seconds of looking at that site was enough for me though. Miserable. If someone can tell me which scene specifically, that would be nice.

^I did a bit of looking. This is a preview of the specific scene that I was referring to, but perhaps there was others that I'm not aware of.

Maybe I need to refresh my memory, but wasn't Keiran just really tan for that video? Didn't they use like a ton of bronzer on him? I'm not saying that made it any classier, but couldn't they just use the excuse "It's not blackface, he just got really tan"? I mean, there's plenty of examples of white folk who ran amok with their tanning obsession and the effect was simply confounding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Wa89-F2WvU

^ If it's the scene discussed and pictured [invalid URL removed]here then I think you would have a hard time arguing that it's not blackface. This is the same get up as the Sir Mix-A-Lot big butts video yes?

That is the scene, but that isn't blackface. He just looks like your garden variety Jersey Shore oompa loompa rejects, albeit presented in Sir-Mix-Alot's fashion which can't be faulted because it is a parody. They literally didn't use black makeup, nor did they circle the eyes, nor did they use garish exaggerated fire truck red lipstick. When it's literally not what the term means, then how can it be said it is what it isn't?
If it was up to me, I would just have hired a black male performer, but you know how Brazzers is. But yeah, if you look up blackface, and you think that Brazzers scene is the same, which is to say you cannot see the difference between real blackface and what they did, then I don't think I can help you. There is a very distinct difference between what Brazzers did with Keiran and what that BlackonBlackCrime site was doing. The latter was definitely no-fucks-given blackface.

It could be that GGG isn't looking for literal "minstrel show" blackface (red lips and all) as much as scenes where a non-black performer is made to look darker for the appearance of seeming black. Which that Keiran scene is definitely guilty of, as there's no way to argue that the look they were going for was "Jersey Shore guido".

I'm sure Rob Black did something like that during his Extreme/Associate days as well as for when he was directing for Elegant Angel.

I will do some searching.
Someone [invalid URL removed]mentioned that Zupko planned on using blackface for the Sammy Davis Jr. role in The Crack Pack, a parody of The Rat Pack. I checked the video and it looks like they changed their mind and cast Tyler Knight instead.

This review of The A-Team parody mentions that Cannibal is undercover "in blackface with an afro."

[invalid URL removed]There are links to the relevant Extreme Associates movies that use blackface here in a locked thread that got pretty heated about the topic. There are several directors/producers chiming in, two of whom are now dead. An interesting read.

I'm almost positive that Ron Jeremy did a fairly stereotypical, non-sex, blackface portrayal in "New Wave Hookers 5"...though it's been years since I've seen it.

^ That would reconcile with my Dark Bros. comment for sure. Any and all Dark Bros. titles would be most appreciated - I know I have seen it but can't identify which ones except DIVDR.

^Michael Ninn at that point, I believe. The last "New Wave Hookers" that iafd lists under the Darks is #4.

If I recall, the Dark Brothers used Jack Baker in stereotypical black roles, but he was actually black.

No way you say?
Super_cdaff7_2166765.jpgGuidoOompa.jpgKeiran looked 90% more like these guys than he looked like Sir Mix-a-Lot, and 99% more like these guys than he looked like blackface.
What is interesting is that his real life oompa loompa Jersey Shore / "guido", as you put it, phenomenon is based on guys who desperately envy black male icons, and want to get as close to that as they can, while many of them are deeply racist. But how can it be argued that they make themselves look this way as a form of mockery? This is how they actually WANT to look, and if you look at Keiran in that video, it's practically indistinguishable from them.
The only tell-tale signs that he's a parody of Sir-Mix-Alot, besides the obvious music video props and sound, is the outfit. But if you took him out of that outfit, he'd just blend right in amongst the oopma loompa crew.
Hell, these oompa loompas are even darker and more garish than Keiran was.

He was trying to imitate Sir Mix-a-Lot. Sir Mix-a-Lot is an African-American. Therefore, he was trying to imitate an African-American, and making his skin darker was a part of that imitation. It's about the intent, not the actual outcome.

Of course.
Obviously.
Yeah but imitating an African-American doesn't automatically make it "blackface." I refer you to just look at that BlackonBlackCrime website that someone linked in here. That's a textbook example of blackface, replete with demarcation lines and sambo exaggeration. I don't see how anyone could say that is the same as them just using a lot of tanning product on Keiran.
If it's about intent, then all they have to say is it wasn't intended as blackface, and since it isn't actually blackface, then wouldn't that be the end of the discussion?
But how can you say the outcome is not relevant? Surely if the outcome was a professional Hollywood makeup job that actually fooled people into thinking it was really Sir-Mix-Alot, you couldn't call it blackface, could you?
Now did Brazzers actually spring an exorbitant fee to get a team of Hollywood makeup artists to transform Keiran into Sir-Mix-Alot? No. But they also didn't do blackface.

You're getting too hung up on the literal definition of blackface, when the creator of the thread has already said that they were looking more for performers pretending to be of African descent than the literal definition of the word.

Since you said you presented already I am assuming that you no longer need references to blackface occurring. If you do, Lowell Pickett's 1975 film House of Kinky Pleasures features John Seeman as a servant in blackface having sex with two girls in Victorian era dress.
