   The WW/BM porn is mostly about cuckolding and humiliation for the white men who watch those types of porn; they’re made to feel inadequate and emasculated.

   Great podcast~

   Great episode, Carmen’s theatrical reading of the interracial porn made me laugh out loud on the train

   The discussion around burlesque and racial comedy made me think about the whole brouhaha surrounding Sacha Baron Cohen’s films. I found Borat and Bruno really funny, but there’s a fine line he treads between satirising stereotypes and using them for laughs at the expense of minorities.

   Hi, Ladies.

   I enjoyed the podcast this week. I especially appreciated your willingness to really put your attitudes/reactions (esp. re: race play) on the table. However, I do have to say that I felt that some of your questioning could be handled by a little more extensive/deeper inquiry into just the basic ins-and-outs of S/M. For example, Tami’s questioning of what playing, for example, a POC submissive in the bedroom means for the rest of his/her life — the role you play in the bedroom and the one you take on in life/the relationship within which this play occurs can be *very clearly demarcated* — this question come up a lot (usually by people outside of the S/M community) about submissives, esp. submissive women — does that mean they serve their man/dom all the time — absolutely not — many dom/sub couples have egalitarian relationships.

   I appreciate Mollena/”The Perverted Negress”’s boldness in putting these issues out there, but I can’t help but feel that you could have had a better spokesperson out there, who was more willing to “go there” with these sticky issues — ala Carmen’s point about Mollena’s response about the “why” of this kind of play.

   Again, I appreciate the podcast and it was especially cool to have Andrea on at the end. I hope she joins again.

   Hi. Since the topic is the depiction of black woman, I thought it important to point out this article about the racist comments on the freerepublic.com site directed to the Obama’s older daughter. The articles all have the same stereotypical sexism and racism based vitriol that demeans black women:

   It’s just shocking that people would attack an 11-year-old child mercilessly and that

   Just read Brad’s link. Now I am thoroughly depressed. I hope the Obama’s shield their kids from this stuff. OT- but that kind of stuff is what made me so mad about that pool incident in Philly. Swimming at the pool or not was irrelevant to me – but the fact that so many grown ass people think it’s okay to talk to or about children that way was just nauseating.

   @ Brad:

   I’m spreading that via Facebook and some community forums.

   @ Carmen:

   The only Asian on Asian porn I know of in the US is/was made by Professor Hamamoto at UC Davis. I have personally never seen it but he’s all for uplifting Asian men in heterosexual porn depictions.

   I listened to the podcast the other day…was a good topic however too much was missing without a man involved. I thought the subject was talked around and not addressed in a more forward fashion than had a man been involved…
