Write That Down #24

Every individual has a certain body type that they go for. I am well aware of this, and respect it in people. However, they are some body types within certain ethnicities that because of the media, I question whether or not some people's presumed preference is of their own personal nature, OR was it taught to their sub-conscience. It is when I suspect the latter that I don't respect it.

Hence why my latest "Write That Down" quote reads:

When I see Whites, light-skinned Latinos, Asians, etc. go for Blacks guys who are usually tall, dark-skinned, brawny, obvious gym-rats (and often bald), I don't trust them to be individual thinkers. They have to work for that faith in their intellect. My distrust of these non-Blacks' preference is actually because fashion, porn, and other media have so often put the image of these combined traits of a Black male as the only way that dark skin can be seen as beautiful, that it has gotten to the point for me that I can't trust whether a non-Black guy is into this type of Black male on his own, or is it because he has allowed his sub-conscience to be taught to like that type, while his true personal nature prefers more variety in Black males.

This "Write That Down" quote may piss off quite a few non-Blacks. Some I may actually know. But in my usual fashion, I don't give a fuck...and I have no reason to give a fuck, because I'm telling the truth that many non-Blacks (be they your average citizen, or work as photographers, party promoters, porn producers, magazine editors, etc.) who choose that type of Black male over a simply toned physique need to ask themselves that question.

And whether or not they admit it, I'm sure they're scared to take that look at themselves. Why? Because they know that if they do (if the clone-like appearance of these guys from an issue of Next Magazine I commented on are any indication), then as usual....I'LL BE RIGHT!

For the record, I have asked myself whether my liking complexions lighter than my own is of my own design, or by the media. And I will admit, it may have started out partly by the media. BUT after closer examination, I realized that my natural artistic eye is drawn to the color contrast and novelty, as I said in "Write That Down #6". Furthermore, considering the fact that I'm more drawn to tall and slim guys like I said in "In Lust With....Tall & Slim", is even more proof that this preference is of my own design, and not influenced by the media, especially gay media. For tall & slim guys are not what gets the most praise in gay media. We all know that it's lighter complexioned gym-rats who get the most praise.

Lastly, before you try saying that this quote shows me to be cynical, or envious, I'm going to let you in on a fact. A fact that despite all the compliments I have gotten over the years, I have been humble enough to not reveal before. Truth be told....

....I LOVE MY 5' 6", 145 LBS. TONED PHYSIQUE.

And I wouldn't changed it to be some buffed up gym-rat to please White American narrow-minded perception of Black beauty for even all the money in the world.

Date Me For "Four"

Jessica Ransom, who you may recall from my post, "Help Me Help OURsceneTV Cover Racism!", is working as a Consulting Producer on an independent film in development entitled, "Four". She recently announced via email that she was planning a fundraiser, and part of the fundraiser was to hold a Date Auction, and she needed contestants.

I volunteered to be one of the auction's contestants.

Now, it think my most loyal readers have gotten to know me well enough to know that I don't involve myself in something like this unless I believe in it. And when I read the synopsis of the film, I became a believer in this project. The synopsis reads:

On the Fourth of July in Hartford, June, a white teenage boy, meets up with a closeted, married black man. On the same night, in the same city, this man's sixteen-year-old daughter agrees to go out with Dexter, a twenty-year-old low-level drug dealer. In and around the city, on the American night of independence, these two couples get to know each other, moving from strangers to intimates. In lonely landscapes of movie theaters, fast food restaurants, darkened churches and public parks, they discover the limits of desire and the possibilities for transcendence.


And here is the info about the fundraiser:

RF Lounge and Film Producer, Christine Giorgio invite you to a night of schmoozing and boozing to benefit the LGBT independent film titled "FOUR."  Come celebrate the indie spirit with dancing, raffle prizes, and a date auction.  RF's resident DJs will be spinning amazing tunes and award-winning promoter Maggie C Events, www.maggiecevents.com, will be one of the many sponsors of the night.  A suggested donation of $10 at the door will get you one raffle ticket and one free shot provided by RF Lounge.  Additional raffle tickets can be purchased for a chance to win one-of-a-kind prizes, including original photography prints.  All proceeds benefit the upcoming production of the movie "FOUR."
