Someone posted on Mr Marcus's site.

"Ummm... Well, for once I actually agree with Sully. Yes, DP is indeed racist and does have a no IR policy in effect. Sad, but true. As for Tera's contract, and what DP would and would not let her do, hell, if I had been in that contract I would have been fucking pissed too. Who the hell signs a 10-year non-exclusive contract to do porn? DP was out to milk Tera for everything she was worth, stringing her career out so they could get every fucking dime, nickel and penny they could get. Not that I agree with how Tera broke the contract, but she will be in and out of court for YEARS after this because DP is going to sue her ass off in court. As for the new contract girl, Jesse Jane, she will most likely never do any black IR as long as she's a contract girl to DP, but if the slump in the industry continues, perhaps contract women will opt for shorter contracts so they can do the IR work when it comes around."

Again, I can't say anything about the validity. That's why I'm asking around.

Every flick they did with Tera is interracial since she's half Asian. What a bunch of stupid fucks.

I think the statement that every scene Tera did was interracial because she's half Asian is facade to hide the real issue. The issue is weather Digital Playground has a no Black men policy.

I agree but when they say no interracial I'm sure they just mean no black guys. I hate this racism shit! Why don't they put a 'Whites Only' label on their boxcover? :(

As someone said before. I sure hope it's not true but if it is I would hope that more than a handful of people would be outraged. People of all colors and backgrounds should speak out against this and support what's right and fair. That doesn't mean Digital Playground has a right to produce whatever they want but they should have to deal with people who stand for what's right and what's fair.

They're not the only company who are against BM/WF. Didn't Wicked remove a Bridgette Kerkove scene with three black guys in the movie Gate because they didn't want an interracial scene in the movie and replaced the scene with her and Herschel Savage?

gee these accusations produce such fruitful discussion. why not take a positive outlook and commend the companies that produce the interracial porn you like instead of calling companies racist without any basis for the accusation?

I'm not a big fan of Wicked but I think they try more than most companies who produce those kinds of movies. I'm not excusing what they did but I do put them in a different column than DP. I know Sydney Steele has done stuff with Lex and I know there are other example that I can't think of currently.

I'm sure that no such policy exists. All Star is one of DP's all time best sellers. Mr. Marcus is in that one. You can see a screen shot in Saki's review if you don't believe me.

Some people like to jump on the no-IR crusade so quickly. Reminds me in a way of the hoards of Dixie fools in South Park episode with the Civil War re-enactment. Maybe when the Schnaaps wears off we won't have to listen to this type of BS an longer.

Fact: interracial scenes CAN harm the sales of a porn title.

Yes: it´s racism, it´s stupid, but it´s also a FACT.

If DP´s really avoiding the use of black performers in their movies... well, I think it´s more of an economical issue than a racist one. Sad, but true.

Luckily for the fans, there are tons and tons and tons of other interracial titles for we to choose from, so it´s not as if it´s a widespread boycott or something like that. So there.

I don't see why not wanting/allowing black men in their films is racist. To me, and many other people, a scene with a black guy is WAY different from a scene with a white guy. Some people can't get enough of black men, to others it ruins an entire movie. Like any other studio the people at Digital Playground should do what is best for their business. Assuming this policy is true, the powers at be probably think that interracial is too "extreme" and want to focus on softer market (you can't deny that a lot of their movies like Rush, Island Fever, etc. are more like Vivid than Anabolic). Let's face it, the almighty dollar rules, if they think they can make more money without blacks, then they'll do it; if you want them to think otherwise then vote with your pocketbook. I know a lot of people that would be more likely to buy from a studio if they knew they weren't gonna get interracial in a movie, because they hate it, but there are a lot of people that would only want interracials. Now, if there was a policy at DP that they wouldn't hire blacks in non-screen jobs (cameramen, lights, marketing, etc.) well, that would be pretty despicable.

Planet Sex:

So very true.

I have only seen one DP title, can't say I was impressed, so I haven't bought more.

Porn is a business, I can understand the reasoning on how the use of a black man could hurt some sales, but while I understand this, I don't accept it. The almighty dollar controls all, if no one bought an interracial title, than there would be none. If everyone bought interracial titles, than there'd probably be a whole lot more of 'em. So the one thing you can do is stop bitching about one studio's "policy" and go to another studio. This is a big and varied market, something for everyone if you look around.

And no I'm not directing these comments at anyone, just making a point that there's so much variety here, look around.

Someone was having a conversation with Jenna Jameson in a forum, she said the reason why she didn't do IR is because her father taught her to stay away from black people and be scared of them.
If a girl refuses to do a scene with someone just because of their complexion, it's the girl who has the problem, no one else.
It's funny how IR is viewed as disgusting, however genres such as violent sex(choking), shitplay is seen as acceptable by the industry.

My mom had the same problem. She had a bad experience with american black soldiers in Italy, during WWII, and she actually got SICK just by looking at someone with dark skin.

But mom, bless her heart, was the italian equivalent of a hillybilly, with no culture and a ridiculously superstitious background.

Jenna´s much smarter than that. In fact I believe that if Jenna, big name that she is, did some high-profile IR scene, that MAY cause some positive revolution on the market. Sorta kinda like that kiss between Kirk and Uhura, if you know what I mean.

The silly and ignorant statement that interracial can harm the sales of porn titles is just ridiculous. In 2001 Doggystyle was the best selling movie of the year and was recognized as so by AVN. That movie had inetrracial sex and was marketed toward people who like interracial sex. Snoop's new movie Hustlaz was the number 1 selling movie for 2 months and is still currently number 8th this month according to AVN. That has plenty of interracial sex. Lexington Steele, Mr Marcus, Jack Napier and now Mandingo all have their own movie lines that have produced to 30 sales. How many White male pron actors do the same? Rocco and maybe on a good month Peter North. All the Black performers I mentioned above do for the most part interracial sex. You have companies like Anabolic and West Coast who have made their mark in the porn world by doing interracial. So interracial if anything HELPS not hurts.

Mr. Lawyer, I know you're always pissed off (escpecially at Jenna, calling for a boycott of her videos) because certain actress refuse to do IR, ii's a shame but you just gotta leave it alone. It doesn't bother Lex, Mr. Marcus or any other black actors.

I'm black and it dosen't bother me, I know there are some black/latino women who refused to IR with white guys.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... Do not bring battles from other websites/newsgroups here. I am closing this thread. If you want to start a respectful discussion of interracial porn with a reasonable subject (ie not a baseless accusation) please feel free.
