DeAngelo Jackson doc to explore "Being Black in Porn"

We are reminded daily that as far as we think we've come on issues of racism, sexism and homophobia, we still have such a long way to go. And there are times when it feels like we might be taking a few giant steps backwards.

Racism in the gay community is a reality. We've seen it on hook-up apps. We read about it on social media. And we hear about it in the porn world.

Award winning porn star DeAngelo Jackson executive produced Being Black in Porn, hoping to shine a light on the experiences of some of his fellow porn stars, including Dillon Diaz, Max Konnor and Rock Rockfella.

The documentary will look at both their porn careers and issues of stereotypes and inequality, and also their private lives and how their job affects their personal relationships.

“I had to share this story,” Jackson said. "I had to do this for my fellow brothers and sisters in the entire adult industry. I learned early on that if we don’t stand for something, we will fall for anything.”
 
"Our favorite porn stars have the same struggles as all working professionals,” added Jackson’s co-executive producer on Being Black in Porn, Dwight Allen O’Neal. “Our hope is that our documentary creates a better understanding of these men and sends a message to everyone inside and outside of adult film that Black Lives Matter everywhere, in everything, and within every industry.”

A release date has yet to be announced.
