Ok I can't spell. Details. Not sure what I can and can't say on Yahoo Answers. Anyway. I don't know its so poular I guess there just seems to be a lot of it around on teh internet and in videostores. I'm not a user by the way but I don't think people should be ignorant of these socail trends either so I don't shut myself off from it. Mysogenistic because it is always violent never beautiful rascist for the same reason when considering interacial porn. Try and find black on white porn that isn't violent or demeaning in some way-you won't be able to. The porn is clearly aimed at white men not black men and not women. And this seems to always be the case. Why? I don't like it! Is it because rich white men control the industry so non-rascist porn is ignored? Or is it because feminism and the anti-rascism movements were never quite accepted and have since been forgotten?

I agree with you. I have nothing against pornography as long as it is fulfilling it's purpose of titillation.......but sadly, a great deal of porn is not just doing this, it is doing this at the expense of respect for women. I was not aware of racist porn - but thanks to your question, I am now, and I am sad to hear about it.
I think it s because, even in the 21st century, the most powerful people in most Western societies (politically and economically) are white men. Pornography is controlled by white men, and it is to their advantage (economically and perhaps psychologically) to maintain their powerful position by denigrating women and black people.
Also, although it is awful to think about, a large percentage of men hate women, and so they get off on mysogynistic fantasies. And a lot of people are still racist and do not have the self awareness to change.
I suppose racist porn is left over from slavery and it must be abhorent to black people to see this being reproduced.
I suppose all this can be summed up by saying that it is about POWER and control.
And fear - since men fear women's power over them. And envy of women and of black people.
20 years ago when I was studying sociology I felt hopeful that this would change. It is discouraging to find that it has not. I just hope that it will in the next 20 years.

The very nature of porn is ugly. Porn is a very harmful and damaging industry to all involved. I don't think there is such a thing as "good" porn. It's degrading to everyone who participates in it--the "actors", directors, producers, consumers.

I am interested in your question. Are you trying to say racist, and misogynistic? If so, add more details and I will try to help.

'coz all three are prohibited in social traffic. If any of those were allowed they wouldn't be so popular.
