"Blacks have just as much right to be angered by the use of the N-word, as Germans being stereotyped as Nazis." Sure they do, especially if they want to expend a whole lot of energy in a fruitless endeavour.... Their "anger" isn't going to change a single thing. As long as people keep vilifying the word, empowering it as a negative, those who wish to do harm will employ it as part of their arsenal.... When it come to bigotry, it's not the words one needs to be concerned about... It's the bigots.

I wish there was more balance, but I wouldn't necessarily call (all) of the thug on film types sellouts--though the term definitely applies to some. I also never knew that "kaffir" was a racial slur. I heard it A LOT when I was a practicing Muslim, but only in reference to non believers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaffir_(ethnic_slur) Does it matter if a slur is 'racial' or not?

I looked that up before I responded to the original post. As for your question, I think it matters to whoever is in ear shot when the word is used. I never knew "kaffir" was used as a racial slur (probably because I don't know any South Africans), but I am very familiar with the term "kafir" or "kuffar," and I've heard a fair amount of black folk use the word. Kaffir and kaffir seem to have two totally different meanings--I suppose, to bring this thread back full circle, the same argument could be made with variations of the N word. I think I've answered your question, but I wasn't 100% sure what you were getting at.

Isn't 'hate speech' hate speech, no matter if it's racial, or religious or whatever? Or is EVERY instance of a so-called 'slur' automatically hate speech?

I think the intentions of the speaker have to be considered. Others would probably disagree, but I'm not really one for absolutes.

Then I would have to say the use of the word nigger in this instance is no difference than porn movies that refer to women as sluts or whores... So all the whinging and moaning is baseless
Hush-Hush continues to roll out the racist titles what do you guys think of: "I love jerking off ni@@ers", or how bout their new campaign: "Whitezilla...Bigga than a nigga"? damn, these guys really know how to market a movie...I wonder why they took down the site "mydaughterisfuckingani@@er.com".....Boy company owner Andrew Stoddart, a white man btw, must really have an agenda.....
Such terminology clearly causes outrage, yet so much other terminology aimed at women is taken as part and parcel of what porn "is" and doesn't seem to cause people to bat an eyelid. This whole thread, rather than striking me as encouraging because of all the anger at racism in the media, simply reminds me that misogyny is widely accepted as perfectly ok. The way non-white women are depicted, I won't even get into here.

Only thing that matters is can the lowlife jerk to it - which is why you never hear any complaints. There could be DVDs of babies being incinerated, and if it was strokeworthy, no problema!
I don't care about the Hush Hush titles, like if they're PC or not as long as the action is good. The only thing they need to work on is their set-up like they have none. I can't stand it that almost all their action takes place on that couch, for good shots you need a bed IMO.
Thank you Jules Jordan for resurrecting this thread, just to continue your beef with Nate / Shane's World / Hush Hush. And by "thank you", I mean "I don't thank you".
Tell me about it. They made good videos, so i could never understand why they needed that silly fucking gimmick. Hushnate whill be here soon to tell us we should be spending our time worrying about Dafur are Swine Flu, because his compaines racist practices.

I can't speak for Jules. But hearing about a beef between him and Hush Hush is like hearing about a beef between Cadillac and Honda. Jules' stuff is a hundred times better than the stuff I've seen from Hush Hush. Plus, it's good to see him post every now and then.
Wow Jules Jordan, now I'm curious. Who do you have a bigger hard-on for right now...me or Jenna Haze? I'm flattered. Jules Jordan's Black Owned 2 - "Gina Lynn's Jungle Fever" Jules Jordan distributed Racial Tension - "The only way to ease racial tension is a cum soaked riot" Jules Jordan distributed Racial Tension 2 - "Keanni stops a race riot with her mouth, pussy and ass!" Jules Jordan's Once You Go Black 4 - "These Little White Devils..." Pot meet kettle. Get over it and go back to reading your "Devotional Thread". Oh I noticed you removed some of your sponsored clips from Pornhub...surely you didn't do that on account of little ol' me? How do you feel about your good buddies at AVN mentioning Brazzers' links to tube sites this month? I hope a lot of retailers read the article. You gave some GREAT quotes, I especially enjoyed this one: "Do I agree with companies that advertise on tube sites, no, especially those that own copyrights" Gosh, who were you talking about there? Only names that come to mind are ummmm Bang, Reality Kings...and oh yeah...Brazzers. So is *Jules* (a white man btw) not in agreement with Brazzers' actions? Ya can't have it both ways. Oh and thanks for bumping our thread!!! Sorry killbill! Wasn't my fault this time. ;) Mod: Edited out the real names. It may be common knowledge but ADT as a rule does not name names. And be careful with some of your statements. Please give the etiquette a read. Edited by - heynow on 5/3/2009 11:39:00 PM Edited by - nateglass on 5/3/2009 11:49:24 PM
is it me, or are there NO racial slurs in either of those tag lines? the premise for Racial Tension #'s 1&2 was all about how senseless 'racial tension' is,(inside or outside of XXX). and we didnt start throwin around 'N' bombs to do it. now, you can watch either of those great, acclaimed, gonzo epics, or not, but if you had, you would've seen the story line did everything to destroy ANY kind of color barrier. which is what we do every chance we get anyways in all of our flicks. we dont throw RT together all of that often because it has to have a healthy blend of story and sattire to go along w/the scathing hot sex scenes. again, ask anyone who's seen it and they'll tell you. until then, quit barking up the tree that contains titles that Mike and I put together until you know a lot more about them. lates, Von S.
So wait...satire is ok in porn? Might wanna let Jules know that. He takes things so seriously. Except when his titles refer to women as bitches or sluts. Or when he distributes titles that use some pretty edgy age-play. See those things are ok according to Jules Jordan, but other things aren't. Jules - when they said you were the "king of gonzo", it wasn't an actual title dude. You don't get to decree law. And I wasn't trying to throw MJ's titles under the bus TVS. I've loved MJ's work since way back in the Anabolic days. All I was trying to show is that we ALL play off of racial themes. For Jules to sit and bash Hush Hush while he makes movies calling women bitches is absolutely ludicrous. And for Jules to jump in and bump a thread just to bash Hush Hush, mainly because of his beef with me, is pretty pathetic. Jules, all you're doing is making yourself look bad while giving me waaaaaaay more street cred. I'm close to breaking out of my "total nobody" status. Keep this up and pretty soon people will actually care what I think.
well you did and that's not fucking cool. again, JJV distributes titles OWNED by individuals, and when you start throwing everyone's name around, like they are part of something they are not, you tend to start misleading others who might not be 'in the know' about such details. I admit I'm quick to jump in on this because of my disdain for your employer, especially since I am well aware of those sentiments working both ways. that's why I cant rule out him standing behind you on some of these barbs in the missives you've been firing about in regards to the titles I've worked on w/Mike, or even the ones from the PXP/RLD days. if you were a little more on it you wouldnt be getting replies from me like this, so please use a little more caution next time when throwing out tag lines, or back cover text from director's movies you have NO issue with(as you say), or know nothing about. me and Andrew hate each other, and as long as you work for that guy, I'm always going to be suspect of your motivations,.. lates, Von S.
So racism is excused by misogyny? Is that Nate's argument here? Is this what they're teaching PR majors in college these days? I think it's a big leap from smutty box cover lingo to gratuitous racial slurs. Then again, I remember when public schools were integrated in the deep South in 1964, and that word had a very different impact back then. I can appreciate the comic, colloquial usage, but not for the sake of selling some mediocre porno. I'm sure there is some truth to stripping a slur of its power ("faggot" and "whore" don't mean what they used to) but let's leave that to the people who deal with the consequences of the word. Not whitey. As Snoop Dogg might say, Nephew, please! Edited by - skronker on 5/4/2009 3:44:50 AM
No. Maybe I didn't make myself clear. My point was that someone who makes movies that refer to women as bitches and sluts bashing someone else for using a racial term, is kind of silly to me. Especially when neither party is making any movies to inflict harm on anyone.
I hear the N word more at my 4 year University than I do all other places i go combined. This is coming from black students, too. I just find it odd that the people saying it are educated and all. Kinda ironic.
Education and Class don't automaticlly go hand in hand. There are men that live in manison that get drunk and beat their wives. It doesn't only happen in trailer homes. Know what I mean?

Amen. Why do girls have to be whores and bitches etc? Are guys so insecure that they can't get off with women they don't demean first? Why must they routinely describe women with the rapist's and abuser's lexicon? On the other hand, the word nigger (what's less offensive about saying "the N word" instead?) is a special case, connoting a severity of disrespect to African Americans: slavery, lynchings, terrorism and the continuing more subtle if no less injuruious racism today. They are entitled to be offended by it. Women were never slaves per se in America. But until very recent times they were second class citizens, could not vote, own property, could not institute divorce against a husband They could be beaten, even with the blessing of the law, and cast out penniless by a husband on a whim with no resort to due process. They too died and suffered to change all that. I suppose there's a difference in degree of offence between "nigger" and "Bitches, Wores, sluts, etc. but all are contemptible terms that have noproper place in the titles of porn or in the titles of anything else.

How many times do we have have to repeat this same tired argument of how the "ni**er" vs. "slut" comparison is baseless and stupid? I, for one, am tired of people trying to compare racist language to behavioral language. Didn't KillBill already address this silly comparison earlier in this thread? Yet, people are still trying to use it to rationalize their foolish bigotry.

I don't exactly get your distinction between 'racist' and 'behavioral.' Language that connotes the inferiority of women or implies condoning violence against them or portrays them as objects solely for male sexual gratification is sexism, not racism. It is different in being based on gender. It is not different in that it has no basis in fact and has been used historically to unjustly deny rights and opportunity to a large part of the people who had done nothing to deserve it. Racism resulted in very much worse treatment of African Americans than most women have ever endured because of their sex. Does that mean that they have no right to complain because African Americans had it worse? Is a woman not entitled to equate being paid less with a black person being paid less because her ancestors were not brought here packed in ships like sardines? How does the suggestion that 'slut' and 'nigger' are both derogatory and demeaning words rationalize bigotry? No one in their right mind could suggest that bigotry in any form is reasonable, and the fact that the word 'nigger' connotes an injustice far more injurious to African Americans than 'slut' does to women does not mean that one term is demeaning and the other is not.
This is shameful but this industry has a LONG sordid history of racism against blacks. You see "white trash" titles and racist stuff against asians and latins but you NEVER see anything derogatory about Jews.

Anyone who thinks the terms are the 'same' or 'comparable' in whatever sense should read what I wrote above regarding the difference between 'whore' and 'ni**er'. Thank you. [edit: sorry got confused who was saying what. fixed.] Edited by - killbillvol69 on 5/5/2009 4:02:53 PM
^ I think you're missing the word 'to' in your post above. Um, unless you enjoy giving handjobs to asterisks. Then never mind.;) edit: I'm a fuckin idiot because i finally realized you were referencing the offending movie title skronker. i am so, so dumb. OK now continue with the rest of the post. But um, yeah. Since Patti Smith (a white person) said it, it must therefore be true. I know Patti was just trying to say ni**er as many times as she could to demonstrate that it's 'just a word', but in doing so she failed (or refused) to recognize that it's not actually 'just a word'. "Jimi Hendrix was a nigger. Jesus Christ and Grandma, too. Jackson Pollock was a nigger." The difference, Patti, is that if Jackson put on a suit and tie, then he would be just some dude, and none of the conservative/racist types would have any problem with him. Jimi could put on a tux, a space suit or a monk's robe, and he's still a ni**er no matter what. And even if the word were used so much that it did become devoid of meaning, Jackson still wouldn't be a ni**er in the same way as Jimi was. Because even if "ni**er" no longer existed as a slur, the institutional racism behind the word that continues to affect African-Americans will continue to exist in the same capacity as it does now, unless some kind of change far greater than removing meaning from a word could ever do. Sorry Patti. You can rock with the best of them but in this case: FAIL.

Today I finally took the time to read this thread since it's been ressurrected (by Jules, no less) and surprise, surprise...it's the same bullshit, just...bumped. Ramsey's as stupid and clueless as ever and those who didn't "get" it last year still don't today. I'm SHOCKED, I tell ya. Ten minutes of my life I'll never get back. Fuck this dumb-ass thread. [Link]
Fuck Hush Hush. Slimy bastards. I avoid their titles like the plague for precisely this reason. Their titles are not funny or satirical -- and they're not really intended to be. The correct term for this kind of crap is "kidding on the square" -- the goal being to try to get away with a racist agenda by cloaking it in false humor.
I choose not to waste my energy on unworthy subjects, so I'll just say the best thing about Hush, Hush is that they probably will not be with us much longer and will have had ZERO impact on the industry - much less my world.
People said the same about JM in the early days and they're still around so Hush Hush will also be around for a while simply because they produce very good porn and I will keep buying them! But while I have their attention in this thread: when are you guys gonna give some Hindu guy a chance to appear in your movies ;-) Edited by - Ramsey on 5/9/2009 3:42:53 PM
