Thank you for reminding me that this really, really DOES fit within the paradigm of WIITWD rather than being some sort of horrible aberrant behaviour which should be stamped out at all costs…which is how I feel when I let the haters naysayers, doubters and the fearful eat away at me.

Thank you for your support, and for being there.

Love

That was fantastic. Very thought provoking words.

I really like the idea of listening to your voice rather than read through a wall of emotionless text. I think i see the future.

I do believe it IS one of the greatest taboos for Americans, because it is OUR history, it is NOT all that far behind us, and the repercussions reverberate today. It is part of the fabric of America, and that isn’t going to have the same impact as other types of play that aren’t in our nations’ blood, or are universal taboos (i.e. rape and incest.)

I think your cautious approach bodes well for a responsible take on that type of scene.

Be well, and think you again!
Peace

Thank you for addressing my questions and taking the time out of your day to really help me. I can’t even begin to comment past that because I want to really give an answer that is worthy of the time you gave yours.

I have an ex-owner, a white man (you know who he is, Mo) who grew up in the segregated deep South. He was descended from sharecroppers and had KKK forebears. He came full circle, unlearning racial hatred and embracing the black experience (for lack of a more accurate, more verbose description). He has engaged in some hot race play. He’s the one who first introduced me to the concept and, as I recall, he was introduced to it himself by you, Ms. Mollena.

For me, SM is largely about going in to those uncomfortable places–pain, humiliation, fear, even hatred–those places we commonly avoid–and wallowing in them, transforming them, taking power in places where we previously felt as though we had none. By that definition (which is mine only), race is one of the most fertile areas in which to play. Brava, Mollena, for having the ovaries to educate folks about this.

Have I mentioned your voice is ridiculously sexy?

So. Race play. I’m okay with the IDEA of it. If people like to wear Nazi outfits and thats “OKAY”, and do Daddy/girl play, why not go further into the sick and taboo?

But ME doing it? Eeek. Scary.

The only person I’ve considered indulging in race play with (someone who approached me in a professional capacity — I’m a pro-Domme as well as a lifestyler) was a gentleman who did some phone interviews with me and was really into a ‘white slavemaster’ thing. And yeah, I told him I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do that kind of scene or not, but I wasn’t ready to say no right off. Anyway, at some point, he asked me if I was really a racist. And I wasn’t sure what to say, at first — wondering if saying NO was going to ruin his fantasy. But I’m an honest person, and I said, “No. I’m really not.”

And was quiet for a bit and then he said — “Well, … That’s good. I mean, I guess it’s better if you’re just playing at it. As erotic as it might seem to think of you as a real white supremacist, I wouldn’t be SAFE if you were, would I? I guess deep down, it’ll make me feel a lot better that you genuinely respect and care for me.”

And it was when he said THAT — that he felt BETTER about me pretending — that I truly felt like he was someone I could explore that with. I’m not sure if I could ever really find it a turn on, or whatever, but I felt like I could trust him, as my bottom, to be making the right choice for himself by playing with ME. Not someone else, who didn’t give a shit about him and was just out to make money.

But — I’m still pretty scared of being in that role. I have a phobia of being a monster because of my sadism — identifying with any of the REAL monsters of history makes me a little closer to that and it would be painful and scary. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be willing to CONSIDER exploring it for someone I cared about. It’s an edge, though.

Really though. It’s so much more taboo than Nazi uniforms, age (molestation) play, rape play, the inquisition… and I have no idea how, since those are all real atrocities as well. Hmm. Odd.
