Billie Armstrong explores the eroticism of difference in the limited range of available interracial videos. The atrophied imagination of these productions can infuriate us -- how can such a "no limits" genre have such a prissy view of race and sex? In Part 2 of this series, Iain Jackson further examines the state of homo video interracial fucking by detailing the portrayal of men of color in the short history of the genre. You can find interracial scenes, but there is always something left to be desired.

| I hated changing clothes in gym class. I thought that my body would betray me. In short, I did not want to throw a boner in the locker room. But you couldn't say that to my gym teacher, a top man if there ever was one, so I sucked it up, thought about that no talent Farrah Fawcett-Majors, and went to the locker room.
As a budding queer, I took a few peeks in that locker room. There was this one boy who just made me want to cry. I don't think he knew my name, but I knew his, and I knew what type of underwear he wore. Hanes. I also knew how those white briefs stood against his skin, and hung onto his little booty. I also noticed that his skin was an almond brown, so much different from my deep dark brown, and at night I dreamt about our legs -- his white legs and my black legs intertwined. We were not fucking in the dream (I was such a romantic back then), just holding each other and letting our bodies compare each other. I had this dream every night for two weeks, and for two weeks woke up with a boner that could beat a drum. Of course I wanted to bang that Hanes boy because he was cute, but it was his otherness, his difference from me, his color, that made the desire for banging so intense. Keeping the Female Booty Safe In the United States the combination of race and sexuality has at times been such a volatile mix that people have died for it. Look at D.W. Griffith's racist, yet cinema-perfect film A Birth of A Nation. The Klan was formed, according to Griffith, to protect White women from the specter of the Black male, who was just so entranced with White booty that he had to take it by any means necessary. Lynching was connected to this fear of Black sexuality, or more precisely, to the perceived sexuality of Black men and the perceived purity of White women. Lynching was an inarticulate voicing of a very articulate motif: racial purity must be protected by all possible means. Alongside this, however, was an inconvenient truth: racial purity was, and remains, a sham. Race mixing was a reality and Griffith only had to thank Thomas Jefferson for that. Slave owners might have thought their slaves were sub-human, but had no compunction about raping enslaved women. In Frederick Douglass' brilliant Narrative of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave, Douglass gets to what was the unspoken truth in the slave holding America: sex. There were lots of slave children running around who looked just like the master's kids, and a Black person who is living in the States today has a racial history that connects him or her to a number of racial backgrounds. Gay Porn's Color Problem So this truth/lie has been a part of our sexual history, and before some liberal queen gets in my face and starts telling me how gay sex is immune from all that funk, I will tell her to shut up and look at gay porn. If it weren't for the butt fucking, gay porn would make David Duke misty-eyed with pride. Whites fuck Whites, Asians do Asians, Latinos do the nasty with other Latinos, and Blacks get it on with other Blacks. The few times there is some interracial loving in gay porn, it seems as if the porn can't This tension is clear when a Black porn star comes across the monitor. Take the Falcon video The Other Side of Aspen II. It is the type of video that makes the willy stand at attention. It has some great stars (Scott O'Hara, Kurt Marshall, Lee Mann, OG Johnson), and the sex is the type of sex I wish I had a on more regular basis (once a year would be okay); however, every time I watch the video, it makes me pause for a brief moment, which is not want you to do if you're jerking off before heading to work. The first scene is between Lee Mann and O.G. Johnson. Mann's car is broken and Johnson is trying to help him get it started. One thing leads to another, as it usually does, and they both forget the car for a moment. Now Johnson's johnson is voluminous, it makes Jeff Stryker's penis look like a thumb, and Mann can barely get half of it down his throat. It is fun to see him try, but Johnson says something that is a bit jarring. "Suck it. Suck my beautiful big Black cock." It doesn't help that for all of his "badness," Johnson is really a femmy queen trying to sound butch. Mann is no better. When his booty is being restructured by Johnson, Mann says "Fuck my white ass." The scene stirs the nuts, but the language leaves the brain cold. "Beautiful Black cock?" Who the devil says that? Is that a line from Soul on Ice? And who says "white ass"? What White person actually acknowledges his or her color as white? Stoking the Racial Gap The screwy part is that the scene between Mann and Johnson is steamy (I'm getting hard just writing about it). Can it be that any coupling that goes against the racial chasm is bound to have as its subtext our racial fears and desires? This is a difficult question, and it might be unanswerable. Maybe I shouldn't complain, considering the medium. Gay porn, if it is about However, there are times when I wouldn't mind porn that eroticizes difference and also says it ain't no big deal. A porn video that does what it does now, but also moves beyond the difference and focuses on the sex. Where the sex is not about only the racial difference, but it is about the sweat, the coming, the eyes rolling back in the head. The things all fags, no matter their place on the racial divide, look for. This happens every now and then in videos by Kristen Bjorn and Jean Daniel Cadinot, and the under appreciated Youthful Offenders: 18-25; however, I would like more porn that takes me back to my middle school locker room, where my Hanes boyfriend's skin and booty were fascinating, alluring, and very familiar. |

decide whether its about sex or about the sexualization of racial differences. What counts more in gay porn: the sex or a racial stereotype?
anything, it's cold cash, and if the racial profiling in videos did not make cash, companies would give us something different. Gay porn gives us what we want, and we want our racial sex to be rigid. We want to see Bobby Blake calling Chris Young a bitch and telling him to take his "motherfucking cock." We want scenes that would make Griffith wet beyond his imagination.
