I should have spoken up about this years ago but honestly I was afraid I'd be labeled as a troublemaker and work would dry up, but none of that matters to me anymore. The industry must cease with any and all productions that pander to racist stereotypes and fetishize race. Many major companies are not only guilty of this, but thrive off of it. Companies like Blacked, Dog-Fart, Zero Tolerance, Metro, Dark X, Team Skeet, Bang Bros, Reality Kings, and Brazzers, just to name a few.

I am not innocent either. I performed in dozens upon dozens of scenes that catered to racist ideas, with titles like, "Axel Braun's Brown sugar, "Black Valley Girls," "Fifty Shades of Asian Play," 'I Banged my Black Stepsister," "My Asian Hotwife," "White Cock for Ebony Goddess," etc. Look them up, see for yourself how much I was enjoying my privilege, and see how complicit I was.

People ask, "If you're so against it, why did you agree to do it?" I'll tell you right now, as a male performer, when I get booked, I am *lucky* if I get any details at all regarding the scene outside of the name of the parent company, my co-star, my rate, my wardrobe, the location, and my call time.

Most days, especially when I shoot for companies such as Team Skeet, Metro, Zero Tolerance, Bang Bros, New Sensations, etc., I won't even get a full picture, I.E., a "script" until after I'm already on set filling out my paperwork.

Why is that? Very Simple. Scare tactics. Producers know that if a performer is already on set, they are infinitely more likely to agree to something they might otherwise find at best, distasteful, and at worst, offensive. Trust me, I've seen it all. We can all be easily persuaded when we're treated like pariahs for speaking up.

And yes, maybe some are blissfully ignorant while others choose the safety of indifference, but it doesn’t change the fact that we are all still guilty by association. And it doesn’t change the fact that male talent are often regarded as the bottom rung of the ladder and the butt of every joke.

Numerous times on various sets over the years I've actually spoken up about feeling uncomfortable with the subject matter and nine times out of ten I've been met with either condescending laughter, "Don't be a bitch, bro," or disdain, "You know this could cost us the whole day, and who's going to pay for that? You!?"

On set, I am constantly reminded that I am not there to think critically, I am not there to be politically correct, and I am not there to voice concern. I am paid to fuck and keep my mouth shut. If it's not me fucking, it'll be someone else, and maybe they'll do it better and for less.

In addition, Once the contracts are signed, which, by the way, are horrendous bottom barrel contracts that take every single right away from us performers for a one time nominal payment, producers and distributors will take our work and repackage it any way they please, altering titles and re-branding content. And as a performer, I have absolutely zero recourse when this happens.

And it happens every day. A single company will rebrand a scene ten different ways. ""Oh, the original scene was called "Logan Loves Lilly"? Well now its repackaged into a two hour compilation DVD entitled, "Black Chicks, White Dicks."" I have no say in the matter. I have no voice. Mainstream porn is a cold machine that grinds its performers, the literal face, ass, tits, and cocks of the business down to nothing but humble servants.

But all of that needs to stop, we need to evolve from this. We can sell sex without appealing to the lowest common denominator. Racism is the very bottom, the root of all evil. We can be better than that. We can change. And if I want to see any semblance of change in the world it will have to come from within.

From this day forward, I hereby declare that I will no longer perform in any scene that fetishizes race or caters to racist stereotypes. This goes beyond just my physical act in the scene, this pertains to distribution as well. I refuse to allow my likeness to be used to propagate racist fetishes and further instill a sense of division.

My stories are mild compared to others; some people have faired a lot worse than I have. Once again, I am lucky, my privilege has allowed me to profit off the suffering of others. But not anymore. I promise to be better because if its change I want to see, it must first start with me.
