African American Porn Actress



Porn can be pretty progressive. Name a race, body type, and perverted sexual act, and chances are that porn has hundreds of videos of it in stunning 4k HD. Sadly, though, when you look closely at the XXX industry, you discover that, for all their talk of "big black cocks hammering minuscule Asian beauties," they can be shockingly racist. We spoke to African-American porn actress Nyomi Banxxx and Dr. Mireille Miller-Young, an academic who studies pornography and sex work, about these issues. They said ...


Banxxx, who has starred in nearly 200 adult movies, told us that, "Black women are at the very bottom of the totem pole." After making sure that she wasn't referring to a hot new sexual position, we followed up with Dr. Dr. Miller-Young: "In some instances, white actresses charge an 'interracial rate' to counter any possible devaluing they may experience due to their involvement in the interracial porn market, because they say that black men have penis sizes that require much more labor-intensive work on their part." Well that makes sense, right? You move house, the movers charge you more for a five-bedroom mansion than they do for a tiny little studio ...

This is all part of a larger problem with the pay scale in porn. According to Dr. Miller-Young: "African-American actresses are paid one half to three quarters of what white actresses earn for the same work. This is the sorest issue for black actresses in the adult business." We assume the good doctor chose that particular word for a reason. Possibly throwing us poor comedy writers a bone.


"The pay inequality is both longstanding and blatant," Dr. Miller-Young continues. "When actresses are perceived as being too pushy (or bitchy) because they're demanding certain pay and working conditions, producers easily replace them with the next new young talent. The porn industry treats all actors as disposable, but black actresses are treated as the most disposable of all."


According to Dr. Miller-Young, "'White' is not a searchable category in porn because it is the norm," so there's no need to actually label it, unless you're stressing a normally ethnic feature that a white girl seems to have ("White Girls With Inexplicable Asses!") or the video stars a biracial actress, in which case you apparently have to hammer home that the actress getting hammered on screen is so Caucasian that she probably puts chilled grapes in her white wine during brunch.


Bridgette B. (NSFW) was born in Spain and mostly bills herself as a Spanish or Latina actress. Yet many of her videos are badly trying to convince viewers that she's just your typical white girl from Nobraska, because Caucasian girls getting drilled is normal, while it seems Latina porn is some weird fetish. That's why some of her most popular videos are titled Big Booty White Girls (NSFW) or Big White Tits And Large Black Dicks.


But as long as their partners were also white, porn actresses could screw their way through the entire phone book and still be considered untainted, no matter how many taints we've personally seen them handle.


To outshine their white colleagues, porn actresses of color had to suck harder and take cocks deeper inside their cunts and assholes. After every interracial shoot, the girls were taken to the bathroom, where they cleaned out their hairy pussies and assholes to get ready for the next scene.


The obligatory "black whore" is added to urban-themed movies, apparently to give "real life" authenticity. In the classic movie Taxi Driver (Phillips, Phillips & Scorsese, 1976), a black hooker (Copper Cunningham) has sex with a white businessman in the backseat of the taxi driven by Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro). The sex act is offered as evidence of the moral decline and decadence of America. Bickle washes his taxi after the sex act. Hazelle Goodman plays Cookie, a hooker in Woody Allen's Deconstructing Harry (Doumanian & Allen, 1997). When Cookie is asked if she knows what a black hole is, she replies, "what I make my living with." In the credits listed for Dangerous Ground (Gorfil, Roodt & Roodt, 1997), Temsie Times is listed as "Black Hooker." Cathy Tyson, the niece of actress Cicely Tyson, got her first major role as a sophisticated call girl in Mona Lisa (Cassavetti, Woolley & Jordan, 1986). The racial and sexual stereotypes depicted in these and similar movies find their fuller, clearer expression in low-budget pornographic movies.


The pornography industry remains a bastion of explicit anti-black stereotyping - raw, obscene, and increasing mainstreamed. Many of the heterosexual themed movies in the American pornographic market have white actresses; however, there are hundreds of pornographic movies that also depict black women as "sexual things" - and as "sexual animals." Internet "stores" sell videos with titles like Black Chicks in Heat, Black Bitches, Hoochie Mamas, Video Sto' Ho, Black and Nasty, South Central Hookers, and Git Yo' Ass On Da Bus! In the privacy of their homes or hotel rooms, Americans can watch black actresses - Purple Passion, Jamaica, Toy, Chocolate Tye, Juicy, Jazz, Spontaneeus Xtasy, and others - "validate" the belief that black women are whores. Most of the black actresses in mainstream movies who play Jezebel roles - especially those with interracial sex scenes - are light skinned or brown skinned women; however, most of the black women in pornographic movies are brown skinned and dark skinned women.


But that doesn't necessarily indicate a more progressive porn industry, much less progressive consumer tastes. Within the business, insiders are skeptical, citing industry history in which black actors rarely receive top billing and have traditionally been paid half of what white actresses make. 2ff7e9595c
