Question: Why is the topic of race play such a touchy one?

Mistresses and slaves alike seem to be so hush hush about the topic of race play. Racially focused sessions don’t seam to peak the interest of most Dommes and a lot of slaves are way to scared to even approach the subject. Caucasian Dommes are the most timid ones when it comes to the topic of race play. Claiming that they “never called a black man a Nigger in thier life and are not about to start”, and although (as a black woman) I respect such statements, I believe that (as a Domme) all legitimate fetishes are created equal. Race play is as legitimate as any other fetish so it should be treated accordingly.

I once came across a black client when I was back at H.C. who (once upon a time) used to session at Nutcracker Suite (R.I.P). He was having a big problem getting his kink off there because the white Mistresses there because no-one wanted to do his session. He then said something to me that hit a spark stating, “I  can’t bring myself to understand why it is A Ok to shit in a mans mouth, but you are disturbed by saying the word nigger!”

Haha.

Even though Caucasian Mistresses lean towards the refusal of Race Play sessions more often the the Dommes of minority, doesn’t mean that black Dommes aren’t offended to do the “Fuck you, cracka Muthafuka” roles either.

Mistress Eliza has stated on numerous occasions that she has no desire to perform racially focused sessions because they “offend her.” Even though once upon a time, I hear Race Play was her most popular session, lending her a huge hand at paying her bills. Nevertheless, a dominatrix who caters to Fetish, Fantasy, Role-play and Domination needs to actually cater to them.I mean, If we continue to turn down sessions with people who have REAL fetishes, can we seriously call ourselves REAL dominatrices?
