CHICAGO – Anti-miscegenation laws — statutes that prohibit sexual relations between whites and other ethnic groups, particularly blacks — have a robust history in the U.S. Although many people assume racial segregation and discrimination reached their zenith in the Antebellum South, the first anti-miscegenation laws actually arrived with the Pilgrims in the 1600s. A 1967 Supreme Court decision, Loving v. Virginia, declared such laws unconstitutional nationwide.

Americans dutifully moved on to denying a basic biological function to other “undesirable” couples — homosexuals, for example. Although interracial relationships aren’t exactly embraced in some parts of the American South to this day, at least mixed couples usually aren’t persecuted and shamed to the extent they once were.

Except, evidently, in porn. For inexplicable reasons, adult content producers continue to promote interracial sex as though it were some radical — or worse, detestable — notion.

Which brings us to the re-launch of InterracialConfessions.com, an adult website presenting interracial sex as shameful, degrading and sometimes downright abusive.

Visitors to the site are greeted with the message, “WARNING: This is a very extreme Interracial [sic] sex site with black men fucking white women!”

And yet the site’s owners were shocked when both YouTube and Vimeo banned their channels. Go figure.

“I don’t know if we are going to go back down the YouTube road again,” amusingly named partner Sean Black said. “We did everything to meet their content policies, and they still found a way to terminate our erotic confessions channel.”

“Erotic” represents a teensy bit of magical thinking. The videos are ultra-hardcore; the “confessions” presented in raw, explicit language. Even had YouTube and Vimeo overlooked the intentionally inflammatory nature of the subject matter, it’s doubtful InterracialConfessions.com’s producers could have cobbled together a 10-second “erotic” video, much less an entire channel’s worth.

Regardless, Black said the site’s new incarnation offers “a more user-friendly layout, a new payment method and real sexual confessions from women around the world.”

“I’m excited to give our fans some new extreme interracial sex stories,” Black said. “Sex is not all roses and champagne. Some women love the gritty, nasty shit, and the world needs to know more about it.”

Because, as everyone is by now well aware, other sexual pairings are incapable of being “gritty and nasty.”
