It feels good to consent to abuse, because it gives you the illusion of control.

i havent read all of it … and i am new to race play too …
however yesterday i red a profile asking for a white master playing nazi … so i started chating with that slave and she got aroused from the things i said not only nigga but actually ordering her to say white are better than black … and so on … it was arousing for both sides

and i wondered the whole day what turned me on about it and what turned her on … and usually subs and doms are turned on by somewhat different ideas … the trust the sub gives the pain it takes the security it feels …. and yes race play is equally arousing …

but there are some factors that make it that way …
first the actual abuse the whole ethnic community had to take before
each sub is abused with the sum of it when their ethnic roots become the subject of humiliation

second the fact it is a taboo … which will fade as all the people realize that there are no racial boundaries in mankind

third the emotions within that subject make it difficult to determine how the subject might react … or on the sub side dealing with the emotional pain that is caused by for others harmless words and gestures

within sexuality the racism can be a big turn on but also a turn off …
both sides should be aware that even though it is supposed to hurt the subs feelings its still just a play … stinging with words instead of needles

for the non sexual life always keep in mind that racism is hurting feelings
and if you think there are different races within mankind you are probably delusional

Wow. I am blown away. I read the whole interview front to back and my head is spinning. I guess I never really thought about the way we have all been “Puritanically” brainwashed about race. I’m Choctaw Indian and my VERY white Master and I giggle about me being the “captive Indian Squaw to his white man captor” a lot but I never really looked too deeply into the WHY of why its so much fun for me. Thank you for being open and honest about that part where you said you learned that you are “submissive to authority.” I am the same way and have known that for a long time but having the guts to say it out loud is so different from acknowledging it in your own head. I plan to re-read this interview several times as you brought out a lot of seriously important things not just about race play or the kink community but about perceptions and understanding the psychology behind why we fear what we fear.

Here I go again: Now that I read the whole thing I wish I wasn’t so quick to post a comment on part 2…the interview was about race play, but you both touched on a lot of other topics that need to be talked about openly. I don’t think I could get into the race play scene (as a dom OR sub-even though I have been spanked and blindfolded before) just because of how I am wired, but I am sure another reason why is because I have been basically brainwashed into thinking that it is an untouchable subject, especially in a sexual sense.

My best friend (who I used to be in love with) is into BDSM. He gets on Second Life and acts out all these fantasies with whips, dog masks, cages, etc. He is Jewish and I am African-American and I did let him tie me up once but I felt silly. My mother and sister make it like I am a sell out to the race because I dated him and men like him. They don’t even consider the men of color I have dated, or the fact that it’s 2009. So, once again I understand at least the basics of what you go through with people criticizing you about race play. You know what? Fuck em’. Some of us think you are awesome!

Thanks so much for posting this. I was really disappointed to miss your presentation when you came to Chicago, but I’m psyched to at least have this window into your thoughts.

Wanted to let you know that I pulled some quotes from this interview and posted em in my blog. Thank you for being so open about this subject. Here is the link, if you want to read; I didn’t comment on the quotes specifically, mostly talked about why I found it personally important to read your thoughts on the subject, and talked about how some of what you had to say felt connected to some of my own experiences with playing with oppression and trauma.

I am glad to have been able to read the interview in it’s entirety, as I know the final article may cut it.
