Mo’ Betta Porn

Posted by on August 31 at 12:23 PM

This petition, which may (which must) be a joke, found its way to me a few days ago. It demands from the porn industry “more accuracy” in how it represents fucking black people. Not all black men are bulls; not all black women are ghetto bitches. Most black men are not packing monster cocks; most black woman are not packing big butts.

It also complains about the quality and setting of black porn:

The videos available are as low budget as one can possibly get; the actors and actresses are usually taken from the most disenfranchised and marginalized portion of the population, the sets appear to be nothing more than housing project residences with cameras and lights set up. Similarly, Black oriented magazines seem to produce a fair amount of income from the most minimal of investment.

And the lack of skin tone and somatic variety:

Black women can be beautiful and sexy with natural hair yet they seem to be dangerously missing from the adult industry. Showing image after image solely of African American female buttocks simply serves to objectify and dehumanize the subjects. Apparently, lighter complexioned African American men are not considered attractive or sexual because their presence in the adult industry is minimal which only serves to reinforce the “Mandingo, cotton-picking, big-dicked-Negro-as-Buck” stereotype. That negatively defines Black manhood as being equivalent to skin tone and penis size.

The most absurd demand, and the only that leads me to believe that the petition is a hoax, is this:

The reinvestment of profits made from the adult industry Black market be made into inner city neighborhoods to improve schools and provide job training to rectify the intentional exploitation of lower income African Americans.
If the purpose behind the passage is not comedy, then someone, somewhere is watching porn films while listening to Public Enemy and somehow seeing a connection. “I like porn but wait a minute/the neighborhood supports so put some money in it.”

Mo' Betta Porn

forgive me AC, but i'm going to steal that for the post's title.

This is hilarious!

Also, low budget porn rocks, whether white or black. It's all about keeping it real.


The Adult industry is both infinitely flexible and completely market driven. If someone is willing to spend money on a given fantasy, you better believe that porn will be made catering to that taste. It's not the kind of thing you need to circulate a petition for- just start an online discussion group, buy up the few videos featuring skinny black girls and moderately-hung black guys, and before you know it there will be a niche market. How do you think I got all these videos of Japanese girls cuddling kittens while wearing vinyl aprons? Vote with your dollars!

If Hegel were alive today he'd have an internet porn company. I used to think that porn wasn't even art, it was just crap to stimulate bored men. Now I realize that porn is true creativity and is worthy of academic study. Thanks for the dreamy and poetic post Charles.

Now, see, that's the kind of trolling we need to see more of. Subtle, sarcastic, effective, and intelligent. Troll Anne, I salute you!

Just so I'm clear, a "troll" is defined as anyone who disagrees with, calls bullshit on or is generally sarcastic towards the opinion of a post's author?

If that's the case, these should no longer be called "Comments". They should be called "Plaudits/Affectations".

Just because you personally don't agree with Charles, don't assume posts by his fans are sarcastic. Many, many readers love Charles and find his writing dreamy. Count me as one of his fans.

I like Charles too, but calling him dreamy and poetic every day is asinine, and a pain in the ass for everyone else. Go make friends with a thesaurus for a few minutes, please!

Charles, this is very confusing for a white person...but my conclusion is this: If black people are the most mis-represented people in porn, then Jewish people are the most under-represented in porn. Jewish women can be very sexy you know.

Personally, I find old people to be the most underrepresented demographic in porn. Do you know how hard it is to find anyone over 70 in porn? That's what I call discrimination!

Jewish women are the most oppressed group. Not only are they under represented in porn, they get paid less, live in poorer neighborhoods, and face discrimination every day. We must have daily reminders to encourage everyone to fight for justice for those who are oppressed the most. Thank you from bringing up Jewish women in this post, Charles didn't mention them but I'm sure he meant to.

Hey, no, sarcasm is fine, it's when you have the same basic post in response to every post by a writer that you're living under a bridge. And the 'beautiful and dreamy' content has popped up in the comments pretty much every time Charles Mudede has posted something.

And, hey, I *liked* your post, Anne, sarcastic or sincere. That I couldn't tell which one it was makes it all the more devilishly delightful.

Actually I'd like to see some gay dwarf porn (and I've looked to no avail). I think little people are the most under represented.

Wait... so we really need, um, old gay dwarf Jewish women porn?

That's not funny. I know an old gay dwarf Jewish woman, and she's beautiful. One of the strongest people I know. She's too good to be in your sick fantasies, pervert.

Here is a link for some gay dwarf porn. Don't say I never did anything for you.
