Why are black women not liked in porn?

[xxyyxx]

Why are black women so rare in porn. I assume there is only a small market for them. White women have the gig sown up. I also assume it isn't a racist thing as black men are absolutely everywhere in porn.

I love Black Woman in Porn. Strong Dominate woman best

 

[Mercury_Maniac]

I think are pretty common actually either that or I'm just good at seeking them out.


There are also a good amount of Latin pornstars out there etc.


I could probably suggest some to search for

I'm not saying they aren't there, and they can easily be found by looking for them, but unless you specify black women they are very rarely on the menu. Go to XNXX or Porn Hub or any of the major porn sites and even without scrolling through, look at the 20 or 30 thumbnails listing the subjects and apart from the one marked "Black Women" it is a wall of white or Latin bodies. In fact you would have to be on the second or third page of thumbnails until you come across one that isnt specifically under the label "Black Women". I would guess I would say less than 2% of women in general porn are black. Compared to black guys who are everywhere, it is an anomaly. I don't have theory and that's why I was asking why.

Maybe black women have more dignity and self-respect...

I don’t know about it being racist like some might say. you also have to remember blacks only make up 12% of US population so that in it self would lower the number. I don’t really watch so much porn so I’ve never noticed. I mean people make money off it so they probably produce what sells.

The industry, specifically the people who book scenes, have engaged in racist behaviors limiting the number of black performers per month. They do so, out of the unfounded belief that black performers don't get as many views. It has only been recently that black performers are getting a more fair shot to perform consistently.

In uni, I was a DJ at the city’s most popular niteclub; the manager would often ask me not to play certain music because it attracted the black guys, who had no money and hit on the white girls, causing fights. Bad for business.

He was right, but I’d wait till he got to the other side of the club and mix Super Freak back in anyway.

I love seeing a pretty black lady in porn or any where else! Wish I could find the black ladies of Lit to chat with!

Racism

 

[WSM98]

Because racism exists even in porn. Crazy, right? Simply look at the titles, for a start. More titles describe black men & women disparagingly than for any other race. Example: Big, black n**** savagely attacks small, innocent, white woman vs (for a white man & woman) Muscled guy hate fucks girlfriend.
There are ways to convey that rough sex happens in the video, but titles for black people are laden with certain stereotypical language.
There's been studies. Here's one: RacismInPornResearch.
Here's also one of the many articles you can easily find on the topic, if research isn't your style: Racism In The Porn Industry
The second link also addresses your original question.

The more you know...

 

[WSM98]

Two reasons
1. a shaved white woman is like an anatomical model, making it easier to see her genitalia.
2. white is the traditional colour of innocence, so a white woman being fucked represents a corruption of innocence and maybe a touch of misogyny thrown in, depending on context.
Mainly #1 though.

Well, I'll just simply say that this is very fallacy-ridden & short sighted.
Medically speaking, you'd be hard pressed to find a ubiquitous consensus amongst healthcare providers that the white woman solely holds the paradigm vagina; that even after all their years of schooling, vaginas belonging to women of color are just too difficult to see & the anatomy within is too indistinguishable.

The fact that you agree is concerning. No, playing certain music does not attract stereotypical black men like a light house. More importantly, all black men are not poor and they don't all flirt with white women. Of the black men who are unfortunately poor and also like white women, they don't all listen to the same music.

Vaginas are all the same colour

You heard it here first, folks

 

[IndianaStevenJones]

No clue but I'd love to make some porn with my black 22 year old neighbor. Sexy and petite.

I don’t think its a matter of “liked” or a small market. There are plenty of sitrsband movies that have beautiful black women. Same goes for black men-there are less in the business.

I think its a demographical thing as mentioned, not a lack of interest. Some people still look at black/white relationships as taboo and while that’s changing (thankfully) there are still sterotypes fed by those less educated.

We both can appreciate different races and find them attractive for the person and not the color. Does my wife tjink a black man is attractive? Absolutely. Is her curiosity of the BBC monkier part of that? To some degree yes.

Cultural differences aside, we have made it a choice to teach our kids color isn’t what defines you as a person. We have zero issues with our kids dating outside our race of that’s what they want to do. I’ve never turned down a date from a black woman and my wife did date a black guy in school.

We are just as turned on watching black porn stars (or any other color for that matter) as white ones. Hopefully society and the industry will catch up.

I'd love to see more frankly. I love women of any variety.

White skin is easier to record on film; those women are encouraged to shave so that men can see everything like an animated cartoon, reducing the image to something simple for the male gaze. That could easily be another thread - 'Why do porn actresses seldom have pubic hair?' with the same answer = because it's easier to see. This isn't a racist slur, but a fact of life.

It's a "fact of life" that what? An inexperienced cinematographer or cameraman shouldn't be present on set? I can agree with that.
"White skin is easier to record on film" the same way that eating is easier to do when it's your favorite food. Sure, that food may be your preference, but it does not invalidate the existence of other foods and the great tastes that lie within. Meaning, caucasian skin may present fewer lighting barriers when recording, but that doesn't mean that a professional, who's actually skilled at his/her job, can't properly light & record beautiful women of color. Simply accepting that one race is "easier to record on film" as a logical reason to preclude the opportunity to work with other races is quite inappropriate.

and we're not talking about healthcare in this thread - far from it.

You mentioned "anatomical model," so I was continuing the path you paved. Apologies though if you didn't mean it as such.

 

[stickygirl]

It's a ~snip~ if you didn't mean it as such.

I shouldn't need to explain my original sarcastic response to the OPs title that you took to be literal. Ease up and lets have a beer

 

[LincolnDuncan]

I'm not going to suggest that I know the reason, but I've noticed the absence of black women in Lit pic threads.

 

[Dr_Strabismus]

Maybe black women have more dignity and self-respect...

I like the sentiment, but in my short life, I've concluded that race and self-respect are uncorrelated.

Let’s be honest, when you have a pu$$y that craves w*tness and a husband who loves your pu$$y full of another mans cUm, you never know how a night out away from kids will turn out.…​

Let’s be honest, when you have a pu$$y that craves w*tness and a husband who loves your pu$$y full of another mans cUm, you never know how a night out away from kids will turn out. Well here is another Wet Pussy Confession. I was wanting to change things up and take Sean (my husband) out with me for some extra fun. So we had been in contact with a guy named Rob to join us for a night out. We only had plans to have some drinks and see where the night leads us. Sean and I pick Rob up at his apartment and we all go down to Rosita’s for a bite to eat and some margaritas. We all laughed and talked, until we moved across street to a club.

Where the drinking picked up and our inhibitions were coming down. So we all head back to Rob’s for a different kind of fun. I had brought a nau#ght little outfit for the guys, so I slipped into the bathroom and changed. Sean and Rob were talking in living room and I walk in with this little black lace with hot pink trim,sheer in areas, that holds these big tits up and fits tight all the way down to the top of my a$$ where I have a black lace see through hipster panties that lets my a$$ cheeks hang out. Sean and Rob both stop speaking and just walk towards me running there hands all over my body, eyes full of lust and desire to give me what I want. All I can do is smile and lick my lip$ for I am ready for what is to come.

Reported.

A particular type of interracial porn was a controversy for a while. Maybe it still is. White women who did not immediately fuck black men were accused and attacked on twitter. The IR fans were using accusations of racism to demand satisfaction of their fetish. Doing IR later was the standard practice, when a pornstar has some name recognition and can negotiate more money. Meanwhile, there are many more people with porn disadvantages: guys with small dicks, chubby women, mature women with small breasts, etc.

We're here

Thank You nice to know. Idk why exactly but even when i've specifically looked for it, there is very little out there, unfortunately.

Agree with all this. Incidentally, my ex-gf is black and I could see everything just fine lol.

Seriously. I'd say 40% of the porn I watch involves black women, 40% involves Latina women, 10% Asian (Indian mostly) and 10% white. I'll tell you finding Indian women in porn is a lot more challenging, outside of Indian porn. There are a couple of well-known actresses in the UK.
