    Our current socio-political climate is the catalyst for the conversation. Tam & I have been having it off & on behind the scenes for more than a year now because spotting folks who clearly aren't serious about IR relationships is rather alarming & in some instances straight up disturbing. Especially when you consider the types of individuals currently in charge of the government wouldn't hesitate to make all interracial relationships & interactions illegal except in the case for straight white "Christian" males. The fact that is a possibility and there are people who will just shrug their shoulders & say "Oh well" but continue to treat IR relationships as some underground taboo fetish speaks volumes about them & society as a whole.

    I've wondered about this for years. I think a lot of those types of members don't really understand just how disconnected from the IR community they really are. And for some of them, the IR community and interracial relationships are something they don't actually care about. It's obvious their interest is more about entertainment, fantasy/escape, and/or something to masturbate to than it is genuine interest in actual relationships. Their inexperience is pretty obvious, too. Enjoying porn isn't necessarily an issue in itself, but seeing IR porn as pro-interracial is a problem if that's all they bring to the table. It's the same when it comes to IR TV/movies when all they care about is how explicitly sexual the content is. Many of them don't seem to realize just how deep into fetishizing territory they are. I find it sad and extremely off-putting.

    As we see pretty often around here, especially with some of the creepy new members popping up all the time, porn has too much influence on people's views of us and what we're really about. They see BM & WW together has some kind of trashy, fetishy "lifestyle", and it's disturbing to say the least.


    Well said. Alarming and disturbing are the perfect descriptors for the general lack of respect and the warped views of us, and for the contempt the powers that be have for us and our families. Too many people see it as something twisted and ugly to get off on, and they don't give a damn how it affects our community.

    Entitlement is why they don't realize it. Too many come here with the mindset that because they are "Black Men" anything they say or do is okay even if it is negative or overall harmful. That's how we ended up with the subset of red pilled incel minded dudes spewing all of the toxic anti-black & misogynistic fuckery that chased off a lot of good posters both women & men alike. We still have some posters who clearly are on that type of time, but because they are in their own little fantasy/entertainment bubble, they don't realize they have pretty much spotlighted themselves & thus get confused if something negative/harmful they posted gets deleted.
