Late last month, several porn companies’ statements of support for Black Lives Matter were met with intense skepticism from black performers. In response to a statement of solidarity sent by the porn site Brazzers to “black talent, members, colleagues and fans,” performer Kristi Maxx responded, “Cool! Thanks. We would love for y’all to diversify your talent and shoot more black women.” Performer Lasha Lane responded similarly to a tweet from Vixen: “Start by hiring more black models instead of just tweeting perhaps.” The next day, performer Ricky Johnson started a thread detailing his and other black performers’ experiences of racism in the business. Soon, performers across the industry were weighing in with accounts of discriminatory hiring practices and pay, including white women being rewarded with lucrative contracts for their first so-called “interracial” scene. The conversation quickly moved beyond Johnson’s popular thread, as performers deconstructed industry-wide racism, from white performers’ racism to race-based pay disparities and racist film tropes.\n

in a tweet, she was advised to “hold off working with black performers until I was AS BIG AS POSSIBLE, so I could get a huge check from Blacked for my first ‘IR’ scene.”“[White women performers] would rather do that than do the right thing, which is turn down an offer from the company and demand that they change the name, which performers have been asking for for years.

Foxxx wants to see that labeling change and hates having been categorized as “ebony.” Similarly, Johnson would also like to see the “IR” label disappear. “It’s a business and people are going to do what they want in terms of business,” he said. “But at some point, your morality has to come into effect.”

Needless to say, this all can profoundly impact black performers’ experiences. “It was a while before I was in a scene where… it was just like, where I felt like a human,” said Johnson. Aleigh said she wants to see “more scenes of us that are not necessarily ‘interracial’ scenes or focused on the fact that we’re black.”

Performer Demi Sutra recalled that when she first got into the industry in Miami, she was told by her then-agent that, because she was black, she “would never work with attractive models.” That agent arranged her first shoot, which ended up being in a hotel room with a single camera—and the director was also her co-star. “I was told I was pimped out because I’m black and that’s how it works,” she said.
