Two new interviews have been posted this week. One with Lexington Steele, where he talks about his new work with Mercenary Pictures, Darren James and answers Jesse Jane's request to do a scene with her.
Candace Jackson and Mark Wood later this weekend, Delilah, Katsumi and Gen Padova soon after that...oh yeah and the one where Kylie sat on my lap....yay.
Wow, Rog. Nice interview with Lex. Great insight to the whole RLD thing. Always two sides to every story. Thanks for posting it.

One thing about Lex, he's always well spoken. I know race is always a sensitive subject here, so I won't speak the truth. In my personal opinion, this peak volumes about contract women, and some companies in the biz. Action speak louder than words, and if Jesse, or DP are on the real, they should publically extend an offer to Lex.
I like what he said about the women he wants to work with. Not some anonymous flavor of the day whose only value is newness and a young look, but an actual woman.
He cleary said he wouldn't. Why should they waste their time?
If Jesse Jane were to call you up to do a scene would you do it?
Absolutely not. It's nothing personal against Jesse, but I am no longer going to put another scene out there for a company who can make more money from it than I will
Vanessa Blue's now Domina X? Well, I read the interviews with interest but I have to say I've been a bit sceptical of Vanessa's version of the truth ever since she wrote on her web site that she'd never do DP. I guess that was a stunt double in Super Freaks 6, huh?

You bring up a good point, but once again in my opinion, it's this type of action that lead to Lex leaving RLD. Part of his statement is based on the fact that he was tired of putting in solid work, and not seeing the profits. The other part is based on his inside knowledge of the industry.
To answer your question, the reason they should offer is because it eliminates the possibilty of a racial agenda. Either way, I don't care. I wouldn't pay for the scene. my issues is companies and girls claiming that "Their best friends are black", when they know good and well that "Black is bad for business". Even though all the top stars except for Jenna have gone black, IR is on the rise, and as much as some people refuse to let go of stereotype and hatred, it's bread in this business.

Lot's of people get caught in that kind of lie. I'm not a fan of Vanessa. She has done a good scene or two in her lofetime, but for the most part, she doesn't move me.
It's speculation on my part, but a girl has to eat. For a while there, you could not get work unless you did anal. She did anal for about a year, and after that episode, she went girl girl only.
This topic is not about race, but let's face it, at a certain point in a stars career, the only way to get work is by going black, or going anal. In the case of Ginger Lynn, you got both. I'm not here to hate, cause I love porn, period, but this thread bothers me for the fact that the offer is based on a stalemate.
Pocketcomp_Pimp, I fully understand that people say they'll never do things that they end up doing. Times and tastes change, after all. However, to the best of my knowledge Vanessa started her web site after her hiatus from porn, so she did the scene before she made the statement on her website.
PS - I'm not sure what episode you are referring to. I know she did an anal for West Coast's Assliciously Delicious 6 after she started working again.

Hardware,
Honestly, I don't know much about Nessa. As stated, I was never really a fan of hers. As far as I know, her anal apearances are limited.
She went through a variety of changes, like most stars do. I guess in a general sense, I tend not to believe stars, and the whole "Never Say Never" tend to bit people in and out of the business in the ass.
I guess in a round about way, we are agreeing with each other.
Nothing says I love you so much as a tongue in the ass. 2884 Posts 1/03

If Jesse Jane wants to work with Lex, she should do it for Mercenary when she's between contracts for DP. I'm sure she doesn't have a lifetime deal and Lex isn't going anywhere. Isn't that what Gina Lynn did to film some scenes for Jules?
I agree with you 100%. I am happy that Lex answered honestly, but he made it clear that no such offer should be extended. (Though it already was in my Jesse interview.) If it was a bluff, then Lex failed to call it. He folded and now we'll never know what hand she (they) were actually holding.
I never expect Lex to be anything but honest with me, but in this case a little gamesmanship might have really helped pin down an issue that a lot of people spend a lot of time discussing, researching and trying to uncover.
I don't know. Lex was very up front and I appreciate that. He discounted my theory that part of why Darren was hung out to dry was to 'make up' (Consider that my sarcastic to the n'th degree font.) for the way certain female performers were treated in the Marc Wallice situation. (Lex blew off the idea, though Domina seemed to find it interesting and discussed with me at length as we ate.)
I think Darren was hung out to dry and was certainly accused of many things I believe to be false. Because he is Black? Who am I to say. I don't doubt that race was part of it, but I think there were a lot of other factors. But this was Lex's interview and I thought people might want to hear his take on it.
Thank you everyone for the positive feedback and for reading...
Does anyone have any suggestions (you may email me if you prefer.) for questions you feel should be asked, topics which should be addressed, etc?
I'm always looking to improve the interviews and somehow "Can I see your boobs?" Just doesn't seem like a very deep question. (Not that I am going to stop asking that one...)
Thanks again....I'm off to watch the Angels piss away their playoff chances.
Hell, it's pretty obvious from your interviews that you have done some research on the ones that you want to interview because each interview is scaled to that performer that you interview. That goes a long way toward not asking the 'how old were you when you first had sex' questions.
I really did like the Pearly Gates question though.
You do a great job already rog, much better than many, as long as you continue to include questions about anal and interracial just how we know so we know how the talent stand on those matters. Keep up the great work.

You know what's funny. RLD did Lex wrong, he spoke well of them. People talk about issues with Erik and others, but Lex cleared that up. When it came to Jesse, he came straight out and spoke the truth.
Like people say, "Truth Hurts". I know lots of people, including forum members don't want to see Jesse give it up to a big dick nucka, but hey, I don't know any black men that want to see Lex used as a token either.
To me the Verbal, or non verbal speaks volumes. He took up for every person that people claim did him wrong, but when it came to Jesse and Digital P, he let you know what's good.
Okay! The Tycoon has read this exclusive interview;and let me say this.First;Lex Steele should be commended for being a articulate person who is trying to make his mark in terms of Ownership.HOWEVER! As a true conissuer and student of Porn;I must say that he is absolutley in outerspace MARS if he thinks he is the best BLACK performer;and #1 Performer on "American Soil" "Third Planet from the Sun";as he stated. Who is he comparing himself too? Mr. Marcus and Pumper?Why dont we start by placing 3 Amegos ahead him.Erick Everhard, Mike Stefano,and Brandon Irons all deliver more Whackable and energetic scenes than him.In terms of Black male Actors; Maxx Blacc matches him in Penil Abnormalty;and has him beat in terms of Modern Hip Hop style for Modern Porno.In terms of a flat out better BLACK performer "Third Planet from the Sun";besides home footage of oneself;lets focus on somebody in the Biz;namely FRANCO ROCCOFORT.This guys level of debarchery exceeds that of Lex;and I choose to watch him over Steeles always.Although you can count on Lex delivering a Steady Fucking of whores;he lacks the ability to defile them for a true perverts pleasure.At least with Franco;you can count on good Toe sucking,Ass Licking,finger in the Butthole,Luggie Spitting Style freaky Azz Sex.Lex never does this stuff;and presumes A Large Cock compensate to state that he is #1. Well,at least he thinks so.Maybe he should lay off the weed he brags about smoking while giving his next interview to the masses.-Pimps Up! Hoes to the Abyss on mines! -Tycoon
I agree 100%. Lex is not the top performer in America or Europe. I almost forgot about Franco Roccaforte. That guy does turn in some great performances right up there with some of the best.
Lex is definitely top 10, but not #1 IMO. He doesn't have the oral skills of some of the other guys. I like to see sloppy pussy and ass eating in the films I watch. Toe sucking is also a plus if the girl has hot feet. Lex doesn't do either as far as I know.
I don't think this forum is particularly strewn with people who don't want to see Jesse getting done by Lex. I think there are alot of members of this forum who actually like seeing interracial sex black male/white female sex. Every time a thread is started about black male/white female porn it is full of responses. The reverse is not always the case.
Heck, I know more black males who can't stand a black girl being done by a white man than vice versa. That shit is never talked about. Plenty of black males who can't stand to see a white guy with a hot black chick. They lose their mind and start spouting off stupid crap like were still living in the 1700's and shit.
I know for a fact that black males put pressure on black females to avoid dating whitey. Some even to the point where they think a black female who has dated outside her race is somehow tainted, especially if they dated a white man.
Black males exhibit some serious racist qualities themselves. They don't want to look at some of the whitey haters in their own backyard. Every time a race based issue is brought up, white men just nod their heads because they know white racists who would fit the bill of who the black man is talking about. Unless you've hung out with black people and know they do the same shit, you feel kind of bad. That is how it is for alot of white men. They don't know many black men, so don't realize there are alot of black whitey haters out there.
I don't buy Lex's bullshit. I'm not saying racism doesn't exist, but it goes both ways. It just happens that white people have more money at the moment, but as far as the rhetoric and feelings, they are about the same on both sides.
I have seen many posts on ADT where guys say they don't like to see black guys with white girls. Now you show me posts where someone says he doesn't like to see white guys with black girls. Good luck.

Well said Ramsey. The problem with Racism is most people don't even realize they are racist.
I love porn, and I don't care who does whom, and what the color is. Both of Stefano's "Feeling Black" titles got high reviews from me. RLD did Choc Full A Nut, I posted that was a solid title, and some asshole said "Too much black dick, yuck". I said there are 9 guys in that title, only three are black. He changed his tune and said he'd check it out.
Believe what you want. Being black for a lifetime exposes me to a great many thing you will never encoubter. I don't care if your neighbor is black, if you dog is black, or if you push a black 7 series beemer! I know what I see here, and unlike what you say about this place. I don't encourage any person of color to descriminate. I'd rather be the truth amoung liars than just another liar.
I believe Lex 100% not because he's black, but because I see what he's saying, and I know what I know about the industry.
In closing, fo every black person that comes on here and get's bent out of shape over IR scene, there are three white people who are not only tollerated, but encouraged to promote all white porn.
I like watching black guys fuck white girls, white guys fuck black girls, and white guys fuck white girls. But I don't like watching black guys fuck black girls, what does that make me?
Depends on the board. I visit a board filled with black people and have hooked up with black girls. I don't know if you have noticed, but mostly white people hang here with a few blacks scattered in.
Hit a mostly black message board like Blackgirl Online and you will see the hate whitey threads for interracial sex and other things.
That is what I am talking about. For people that don't hang with many black folk either online or in their real life, things can seem real skewed.
But hang with black people a while and you start to see they exhibit the same xenophobic, racist tendencies as whites or any other group. Go check out www.blackgirlonline.com message board, and you'll be able to find a good number of folks who don't like white male/black female interracial porn.
Pocketcomb,
Your being dishonest as a black man if you say you don't know black folk who are just like their white racist counterparts. Like I said, I know first hand people who are like this. They don't mind at all when a black guy hooks up with a white girl, but a white guy hooking up with a black girl will get some black dudes pissed off. Bottom line truth.
As you said, "Truth Hurts", but it is definitely both sides. You go to a majority white board like this one, you're going to find some white racists who don't like seeing black men with white women. You go to a majority black board like Blackgirl Online, your going to find some black racists that don't like white men with black women. It's tne nature of the beast. Same can be said for Latins, Asians, and others.
by the way, I am mixed Latin/Anglo. Personally, I don't get screwed with all that much because I speak good english, look Anglo, and am a good sized person that few folks would willingly fuck with. But, as you know racism isn't just about you. It's about your family. I have a whole Latin half of my family who have dealt with racism and passed on the stories to myself. My mother when she was young had to leave by the backdoor and drink at different water fountains. My grandfather, who is Mexican-Indian, really received alot of flack while living in Colorado and Texas. I've also dated black girls and hung with black partners. That's how I ended up getting on the gang list in my area even though none of us were part of a gang. That's what happens when you stand in front of a 7-11 with some black male friends sad to say.
My basic point was that it ain't one way. There are white racists. There are black racists, Latin racists, etc, etc. Depending on what your doing or where your hanging, you may get fucked with.
For example, if you're hooked up with a black girl at an all black club, chances are some black racist guys are going to fuck with you, especially if the black girl is fine. Simple and true.
Lex has been saying the same shit for years. It gets old. Especially after the guy has received three male performer of the year awards. His movies sell. He deals with nothing more than what the average successful black man deals with in terms of racism. Every successful black man is going to have to deal with some racism. It's the nature of living and doing business in America for a black man, a latin man, an Asian man, to varying degrees.
If this were a majority of any type country, then we would experience the same thing. If you were doing porn in Japan, you could accuse the Japanese of racism. Do they necessarily hate you or just prefer their own? It's really hard to call.
The cries of racism by Lex just don't fly with me anymore. I've hung with people from too many ethnic backgrounds and watched too many successful black people rise up in this society. Some blacks have a martyr complex and constantly want to jump on the issue. Lex seems to want to speak out about the stuff, but he does it almost every interview.
Alot of white people came to Darren James defense as well as attacked him. It's basically trying to promote an idea that just wasn't there. Sure you could find a few people and say "They blamed Darren because their racist." Overall, Darren received the flack he did because he is male moreso than black.
Yeah, there is racism. It flies all ways, and always has. Blacks aren't the pigeon-holed people they once were. Alot of successful blacks in and outside of porn, and the number is only growing. When I hear cries of racism, I consider them like Little Boy Blue. They are crying wolf to see who will agree and listen without any evidence save for historical racism. It has pretty much come to the point where racism is assumed in the black community irregardless of the evidence if white people are involved. That is racist on the part of blacks.
Just to steer this away from a flame war, but to use that last statement wouldn't you have to first establish the raw data? What if there are 5 white posters for every black one? Then your 3 to 1 ratio tends to disprove your thesis.
And yes, I am being sarcastic for the safe of a laugh. People are getting WAAAAAY to bent out of shape in this thread.
How about we all just enjoy some pictures of Candace Jackson shall we?
in fact, here is a response to a thread on Blackgirl Online that fits the bill.
Like I said, it goes both ways. This is a majority white board filled with white people. There are black folk just as bad as their white racist counterparts.
As promised, Candace, with pictures. (Kindly ignore the ugly fat f**k in the shot with her..and blame Chico Wang for he insisted on posing on like that....bastard.)
I am not getting bent out of shape at all. I just prefer real discussion on these types of issues. Shit like this should be out in the open for discussion. Half the reason the racist stuff happens is because people aren't willing to talk about the issue.
If white and black people could actually engage each other in the issue of race, maybe they would clear up some of the misconceptions they have about each other.
Let's face it. Black and white people have alot of misconceptions about each other as groups. It gets real annoying both ways. I really hate it when white people say racism doesn't exist as much as I hate it when black people insert race as a cause when other factors such as personal morality or preference is the more cognizant factor motivatining a particular action or political stance.
Blue, I totally respect what you're saying, but from years of experience I can tell you that the "issues" don't generally get discussed, let alone resolved in a net forum. People are too quick on the keys, too easily offended and a conversation can be derailed by one or to idiots (NOT saying anyone in this discussion is one, but we all know trolls exist).
I think that with the Lex interview, there was a change to really pin down one company, one girl, one attitude and in spite what PPimp believes, I feel that that chance was lost. Lex, in his honesty, blew that. There is now a lack of proof and it wasn't Jesse who turned down Lex, but the other way around.
People can speculate, but the evidence is not there.
You're right about message boards. At least in a written discussion you can better construct an argument using facts. Verbal arguments generally devolve into shouting matches or ad nauseum arguments.
I wasn't really concerned about the Jesse Jane situation. Plenty of girls, contract and otherwise, seem to find some reason not to work with black males. I don't agree with that stance since it is based on racism, their own, the company they work for, or the people they work and associate with pressuring them. I can understand not wanting to work with a guy because his dick is too big or he isn't clean, but skin color is a bogus reason not to work with a guy. If Jesse and DP really want a different image, then she should pick a black guy to work with and make it happen.
I was more concerned with his commments concering the Darren James incident. I think the attack on Darren James was based on his sex rather than his race. He was a male, and males are going to take the blame way before a female in cases like this unless it is obvious that the female is at fault.
this is about the same thing that got me from some dude on the teagan thread talking about he wants her to set "limits" and then says no IR like no one would see it. then he jumps in on how it isn't IR he's against just girls doing "everything". what the hell is that about! no one is forcing them to do scat or anything crazy, but his first "limit" suggestion is no IR. if you don't want to see your little teen queen not IR then don't buy the damn film!
I could be wrong on this one because I'm not a jenna jameson lover like so many others here, but what if she went and did an IR gangbang or something. you think hordes of her fans wouldn't complain about it?
I stand corrected. After the thread in the Porn Pool, I see why Lex is worried. Porn very unregulated when it comes to sexism and racism, probably alot like the regular entertainment business.
Just to toss in my two cents that was a VERY informative interview and kudos to Rog (the best pr0n recapper/reviewer out there next to myself)for not ignoring the ELEPHANT in the room and not being afraid/intimidated to ask the really hard questions.
I've always enjoyed and own every Mercenary title and what Lex says about his product is true: it really is the best product out there featuring ethnic women with quality talent and production values with the best black male performer in the business PERIOD. The comments here about how well-spoken and articulate he is remind of something Chris Rock once said about Colin Powell but that's neither here nor there...
Were I a pornstar I'd be just like Lex, only MUCH MUCH MORE handsome with only a slightly smaller penis.

I didn't say that, so be careful with your words. Their is a big difference between who I know, and who I am. Racism is a mega lane highway, but I don't travel that road. White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, whomever. I see racism, I call it. It's ugly, and I don't want it around me. I love all people from all places, and all races. Racism, lies, and biggotry tend to make fools company, so be mindful of your circle.
