My First Interracial

The history of mixed-combo porn is a long one, but not well-documented. In the days of porn loops circa 1970, black and interracial performers were largely restricted to stag movies, where they were popular and did not go afoul of racist booking policies for movies, especially in Southern States (I once interviewed Russ Meyer in depth on this particular subject, regarding soft-core films). Around 1983 I began to see many all-black cast videos, with stars like Tony El-Lay and Jeannie Pepper, become popular, after low-budget mixed-combo features proliferated in the mid-1970s.

More recently, some labels like the well-known West Coast Productions have specialized in all-black and mixed-combo videos, with Mandingo, Lexington Steele, Jack Napier and from an earlier era Sean Michaels achieving star status. The new label blacked.com, based in Barcelona but shooting its videos in California with local talent, is releasing glossy product exploiting the fetish of seeing petite young actresses impaled (either orally or, as Bill Clinton would put it, sexually) by oversize Black dicks, for fun and profit.

Now we all want to get along and tolerate each other and our peculiarities. So this particular fetish is no better or worse than any other I guess -say tickling, sniffing dirty panties, or whatever. So if this particular pandering hits your spot - live it up. Maybe Rand Paul would disagree, but we live in a free country.

I found the contents of this first entry from the new label unseemly. The innocent interviews with the lovely young starlets, of whom Keisha Grey has almost instantly graduated to superstar status in a matter of months on the scene, are loaded with a phony element the viewer is supposed to accept out of whole cloth. At some point, the girl is called upon to volunteer an uncontrollable urge to have a huge black cock to play with.

The exploitation involved is equal time: as has long been the case ("going anal" is the most often reported analogy, subject of even TV news segments on the Adult Industry I've seen) the decision to film an "interracial scene" means $$ for a prominent adult actress, and is trumpeted in the advertising and packaging of the results. For young or entry-level performers it can be a deal-breaker.

For the Black performer, especially male, unless they are entrepreneurs -their own bosses (e.g., Steele, Michaels and a few others), they are treated on-screen as sub-human, as in this video where the Black man enters the frame, does his thing, and gets a "my how huge!" canned reaction from the girl when he reveals his manhood. He is literally a disembodied cock on display. Of course he's paid, this is America the Capitalist mecca after all, but is he given an opportunity to followup in speaking roles or even acting (storyline) roles? Check the performers' credits.

Shot on white-on-white mansion backdrops, director Greg Lansky's visuals (I couldn't find his name listed on screen, but the packaging trumpets his participation) are repetitive, since he needs to hit certain angles, including a high- angle POV shot, to magnify the physical differences between the male and female participants. Kelly Diamond is the only actress taking it in the rear from her partner, seasoned veteran Prince Yahshua, while strong-silent type Jason Brown has the privilege of initiating Keisha to interracial sex, or so the advertising would have it. Flash Brown does double duty servicing both blonde Lacey Johnson and redhead Farrah Flower. Several of the actresses where tennis shoes during sex rather than glamorous duds or hooker-styled high heels, just to help reinforce the genre's jail-bait aspect.

Slick production values and packaging complete the formula, evidently a hit. It's not racism, per se, but hardly a step forward towards a ghetto-free, egalitarian society.
