There are many forms that racism takes and like many aspects of racism they are accepted as “harmless” by anyone unaffected by it. One of these many forms is through racial fetishizing porn categories like “BBC”, “snow bunny”, “PAWG” and more that are used mostly by white women and white gay men.
“The assumption is Black men are strong. They are fighters. They crave sex over everything else. For many people, this means their consent is not needed during physical acts. I mentioned how girls often asked me about my penis and how I enjoyed some of the attention.
I didn’t mention how they would cross the lines physically without consent or ignore me when I said no as if I couldn’t actually mean it. If they did accept the no, they would lash out and make assumptions about my sexuality. I couldn’t be a masculine Black man and refuse sex.
The Black penis is an instrument of power, aggression, lust, and possibly violence. It is never submissive. It is never the victim. Terry Crews is the best example of this mentality.
In 2017, Terry Crews said that a powerful Hollywood Executive grabbed him by the penis. He was sexually assaulted. Many people supported him, but many others laughed at him. There was no way this strong, Black man could be assaulted. DL Hughley, a Black comedian, said about the situation, ‘God gave you muscles so you can say no.’- source
Ironically, Black men may be the biggest supporters of the stereotypes pushed onto them.”
– The Fetishization of Black Men
BBC
Standing for “Big Black Cock”, BBC is a widely known “porn category” (in the United States, at least) that fetishes Black dicks. Fetishization is a form of dehumanization and dates back to the initial racist thoughts of our -white people- colonizing ancestors. Black dick fetishizers have been seen using the spade emoji (♠️) to label themselves.
Bull/Buck
What slave owners called their male slaves, referring to them as cattle and breeders. They even referred to raping their male slaves as “buck breaking” as they did so to dehumanize them and break their will. Do not use “bull” or “buck” to refer to Black men, just don’t.
Snow Bunny
“Snow Bunny” refers to, usually, a white woman who fetishizes Black bodies, usually bodies with penises. If you know “Snow Bunny” (❄️🐰/🐇) to be a woman who wears ski gear but doesn’t ski, you can blame white women who fetishize Black dicks for ruining it. Ski Bunny is the new term for such- if you weren’t already aware.
QoS/JoS
An abbreviation of “Queen of Spades“, used by, primarily, white and Asian women who fetishize Black dicks. If not directly posted, they’ve been seen with tattoos of a spade with a “Q” in the center. “Jack of Spades” is the masculine version used, primarily, white and Asian men who fetishize Black dicks.
“The Jezebel stereotype presents Black women as seductive, alluring, and sexually explicit in nature, body language, and discussion. This is in contrast to the purity, especially sexual purity, that is attributed to white women.
The idea of the sexually driven black woman actually predates slavery. When Europeans visited Africa in the 17th century, they were greeted by women that wore less clothes than White women. They witnessed a polygamous society and tribal dances they interpreted as sexual. The Europeans concluded that these women must be driven by lust.
Thus, the Jezebel whore were born.
The stereotype was solidified during slavery as white men justified rape. Black women sexually desired white men, so according to Europeans, they couldn’t rape the willing. Furthermore, slaves were property, tools of pleasure.
Slaves were also frequently pregnant. For White people, this is another sign of Black women’s sexual nature, but the truth is more atrocious. Black women being pregnant meant more slaves and more profit, even if the babies were the slave master’s children. Simplified, not only did white people justify rape, but it was also financially profitable.”
– The Fetishization of Black Women
Phat/Thicc
Coined by Black people, phat is a variation of “fat” and was created to be a body positive word referring to Black bodies, specifically women and femmes. Similarly, thicc has the same history, being a variation of “thick”. White women started using these terms to invade Black spaces, overshadowing those it meant to uplift.
PAWG
A term coined by white women, PAWG stands for “phat ass white girl”. Again, phat is being used here by white women in order to invade spaces that was not meant for them. Slimthicc/slimthick are also being used commonly, which have the same negative effect and encourage prejudice. Black people have every right to want their own spaces because we, as white people, take up the most space as it is.
