“Why is this important? Issues of systemic racism often make sex work a viable source of income for BIPOC people. The adult industry largely is run by white men for the consumption of the white male gaze, leaving out the desires of the many Black and Brown people who regularly consume porn for personal pleasure and sexual exploration. Outdated, public attitudes towards sex work, pornography, and the reasons people engage in sexual labor have allowed companies to sweep allegations of racism or sexual assault under the rug for far too long. In light of the recent murder of George Floyd and social uprisings across the globe calling to end racism in every sector, earlier this month the Adult Film industry acknowledged its unfair, historical issues with racism and disparate wages based on ethnicity and began coming up with strategies to correct these issues. The BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color,) Adult Industry Collective was formed to answer this call with the belief that marginalized communities must be included at the table in all discussions when making decisions surrounding repairing harm against impacted communities. We are a group of performers, directors, and producers of color, spanning a range of jobs within the consensual, commercial sex trade who are dedicated to working towards bringing about changes we want to see in order to make the adult industry a safe space for all to work, explore, and thrive regardless of ethnicity, gender identity, or sexual orientation. It is our belief a show of support from the viewing public, we can influence lasting changes to the industry we know, work in, and enjoy.” Link: https://campaigns.organizefor.org/petitions/end-racism-and-wage-discrimination-in-porn. I hated walking and running with bulletproof clothing and being in bulletproof vehicles (driving and riding) and being in bulletproof housing. The criminals, the criminal sympathizers, and the “bodyguards” (the killers) possessed all of these things too. In organized crime, I saw men coming in and out of women’s homes (while I was in the women’s homes against my will because of the men and women) and having sex with them (in my presence.) and I saw women coming in and out of men’s homes (while I was in the men’s homes against my will because of the men and women) and having sex with them (in my presence.) I hated partying and dancing with adults to “grown folks” explicit music in the criminally-owned clubs as a child. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support
