It’s no secret that porn is…weird about Black guys. The obsession with Black men’s dicks (that comes up all the time in mainstream TV and edgy comedy) is most starkly evident in the world of adult media. It’s hard to scroll on any tube site for more than a few seconds without seeing a Black guy referred to as “BBC” and that term’s just the tip of the iceberg. The vast majority of porn out there that features Black men has at least some element stereotyping them or drawing attention to their race as a marketing point. In the world of kinky porn that I’m most familiar with, genres like sissification and small penis humiliation often make the fetishizing of Black men very explicit and almost impossible to avoid. So, let’s talk about the term “BBC,” how Black men and their images are treated in porn, and the history of where all of this came from.
