Adult Actor Louie Smalls IS CLEAR TO WORK! The RACISM Black men face in entertainment.
Alex Mayers reports the recent news surrounding adult actor Louie Smalls ( @Longlivelouie69 on Twitter ) of BLACKED and provides commentary in regards to how the allegations against Louie by Bella Rolland in actuality stem from the white privilege enabled racist mentality (which unfortunately is wide spread and condoned) within the American pornography industry.
The fact is, LOUIE SMALLS IS CLEARED MEDICALLY BY THE ADULT INDUSTRY’S CERTIFIED AND APPROVED STD TESTING FACILITIES. HE IS HEALTHY.
From Alex’s perspective anyone who has fed into the bullying against Louie which appears to stem from Bella Rolland is likely a racist, bigot and hypocrite – especially considering that few in today’s industry say a word about HIV positive John Stagliano of Evil Angel. Adult actors like Louie Smalls should start demanding at least 10 times their current rates, because considering the extreme popularity of interracial adult content – the producers, studios and directors are in desperate need of Black performers (though they try not to allow that truth to be widely known).
Louie Smalls is the adult industry’s answer to People Magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” Idris Elba – so Alexandra Mayers and the PNTLIVE network have decided to give Louie “The Sexiest Man in Adult Entertainment” Award and Title. Please support Louie Smalls, send him words of encouragement & follow him on Twitter @LongLiveLouie69
An educational & insightful interview with adult actress & performer advocate Lasha Lane (part 2)
In part 2 of this comprehensive interview with adult actress and adult performer advocate Lasha Lane (click here to view part 1) – Lasha outlines what she feels are cost inequities within the FSC controlled PASS system and how some studios appear to be “grandfathered” into the pass network and don’t have to pay to access talent records (whereas others do).
In addition Lasha Lane makes it clear that she’s willing to work with all of the adult industry leadership entities (such as the FSC, APAC and APAG) as she feels that they’d all be more effective were they to unite (opposed to continuing to fight).
Lasha states that one of her goals is keep the government out of the adult industry (in regards to regulation). Lasha Lane also delves into the perception of Black (African American) women in the industry (the mainstream vs. urban debate) and expresses how she is glad that a few Black women in the industry are finally exercising their voice.
Lasha Lane shares her long term objectives within the adult entertainment industry and outlines how she believes the long standing adult industry institutions, media outlets and awards shows (such as AVN ) at their core seem to want to be more inclusive and promote diversity, but don’t appear to know exactly how to do so (due to the “old guard” within the industry)… Lasha hopes that her efforts will shift the industry in a more productive and positive direction when it comes to educating the industry (as a whole) in regards to what inclusiveness in actuality is.
The primary change Lasha Lane feels should occur within the industry should be the elimination of pornstar talent agents, agencies and publicists – due to people in such positions having too much perceived (and unjustified) “power” in regards to the type of content produced, who works (versus who doesn’t), the existence of the illegal problematic prostitution rackets, and the global “trends” the industry at times dictates (as being valid) to the public.
In the upcoming part 3 of this interview Lasha Lane goes into detail in regards to the dispute between APAG union leaders and FSC leaders in regards to a future proposed program to provide adult performers with RESOURCES and EDUCATE adult performers as to what the realities of what the porn industry really are.
