Okay, everyone, I would like to open a discussion about this…
The nature of this site - mind control - inevitably involves slavery it seems to me. Power exchange is what gets us all off here.
Historically, slavery has gone through many forms. Initially, it seems that tribes enslaved the tribes they conquered, forcing their defeated enemies to work for them. As civilisations became more organised and advanced [for example, Egypt or Rome] slaves were necessary to service the leisured classes. In a time when labour-saving devices did not exist, slavery was essential.
In the middle ages, slavery became serfdom. Peasants were tied to the land and were considered the property of their owners. Meanwhile, Arabs enslaved thousands of Africans and Europeans over many generations to work as servants or as sexual partners. The word ‘slave’ actually comes from the same word root as ‘Slav’, which proves that many of the Arabs’ slaves were Caucasian.
Our modern take on slavery was, until recently, dominated by the African slave trade which transported people from Africa to the Americas. The foundation of America was built on the idea of indentured labour. Minor criminals were transported to America to work for a specific amount of time. Many of these were British, particularly Irish. Eventually, in the agricultural southern states of the US, black slaves were purchased to work on the plantations.
More recently, our notions of slavery have been changed due to the advent of what is called ‘Modern Slavery’. This has two distinct forms. The first is Asian or African ‘slaves’ working in sweatshops to provide Western clothing or to grow crops on plantations such as cocoa beans or mine ores. The second is eastern Europeans used as sex workers or to pick fruit on farms.
Okay, now why am I rambling on about this?
As a black man, I have become increasingly weary of the way that, while it is possible to have white men enslaved by black men in stories on this site, the reverse is seen as ‘politically incorrect’.
I have written many stories for this site and have had black men and white men enslaved in my works of fiction - sometimes by their own race, sometimes by men of another race. When it is black on white, I am told how hot the story is. When it is white on black, I get comments about how ‘I loved this but felt uncomfortable about liking it…’
Now the question is - why?
I put it to you white gentlemen out there that because you still equate black people with slavery, you feel some kind of guilt reaction about stories which depict black men as slaves.
This is due to a fundamental misunderstanding of history.
As I constantly point out to schools who organise ‘Black History Month’ events around slavery - they need to make it plain to students that white people are also the descendants of slaves. Africans do not and never have had a monopoly on this condition…
Right now, across American and Europe, many brothers of African descent, both heterosexual and gay, are experimenting with the feelings of submission they feel for white men and women. I wish to tell my white readers out there that many of their black brothers are turned on by the ‘N’ word. They like the idea of a white person saying that to them.
It does not mean that they want to be slaves or that they wish the black race to be enslaved. It is a fetish - nothing more - nothing less. It is called ‘race-play’.
All I hope is that as black people are accepted as members of the human race alongside their white and Asian brothers and sisters, is that we can collectively get over this absurd ‘guilt’.
The reason I say this is that to feel this ‘guilt’ you have to be starting from the premise that black people are victims and ‘ex-slaves’ and I can authoritatively assure everyone out there that we are much more than that.
To thing anything otherwise is racist in itself. We do not need your sympathy or protection, thanks…
So can we please stop this patronising shit?
Peace,
