KNOW YOUR NEGRO III: ADVANCED EDITION!
KNOW YOUR NEGROS III: Advanced Edition. Yep, it is true…there aren’t all THAT many brown faces in the Kink / Leather world. But hey, we are working on it.
Interestingly, though there aren’t that many of us we are mistaken for one another….er…a lot, actually. Embarrassingly so. So I tried to help by posting PSAs.
But now…
We’re flipping the script, motherfuckers! With a score of Mo vs. Q-Tip = 8 to 1 Advantage Mollena (that is, me mistaken for Q-Tip 8 times, Q for me once) and a score of 1 to 0 Mo vs. Vi Johnson Advantage Mollena (in the “Mo mistaken for Vi this one time.” ) and a dozen or so Black women across the USA mistaken for me, to everybody’s dismay .. I facilitated a handy reference photo:
KNOW YOUR NEGRO! QTip, Viola Johnson and me. Q is a Bootblack, a Titleholder, an all around stud. Vi Johnson is a Living Leather Legend, and Griot of the Leather Community. I’m just Mo. I present the photo above as a Public Service Announcement. Thanks, Perverts!
And so it went…to ass some fiber to dat azz, we conspired to see if y’all could work it out if one of us went INCOGNEGRO:
we are KICKING UP THE GAME. Take a deep breath. DO YOU KNOW YOUR NEGROS?!?
ADVANCED…NEGROSITY!
Hey Mo! There is a Yeti eating your head … an it’s apparently contageous. Maybe your monster-bag can save you?

Because just cuz it’s easy to confuse white people doesn’t mean it’s not fun :-)
This white girl is scratching her head as to the confusion between you three kinksters. In the first pic there’s a *slight* resemblance between you and Vi, but I have no idea how you and QTip are mistaken for each other. Do people just say “black person, white hair” = Mollena (or QTip)? Odd. My advice to other white people – just introduce yourself and ask the other person’s name before assuming they *must* be _____. I mean, really. (Tho I guess I’m at an advantage having met you a couple of times Mo.)
This made me think of a satirical tumblr I’m really enjoying – http://exoticwhitegirls.tumblr.com/ – I think it’s a great way to examine how white people treat people of color as exotic by turning the tables. Sadly, not everyone gets satire. I think it’s an effective way to examine social issues by teasing those making the mistakes rather than beating them up for it. I can read it and think, “Wow that’s stupid. Hey do I ever do that? Well even if I don’t I’ll make sure I don’t in the future!”
Damn you are funny as hell… and beautiful, too. Which is why we-uns can’t tell you-uns apart!
