So, why would a racist like interracial? Well, all I can do is offer my own particular viewpoint and my own observations as to what is behind this phenomena. As to my own personal experience, it is difficult to describe the intensity of feeling that I get when I watch interracial. My heart starts pounding and I begin to have a whole number of emotions all at once. Emotions from shame to excitement to disgust to a feeling of pure thrill. This bizarre combination is what has kept me coming back. Watching interracial is an emotional rollercoaster for a racist. You would be led to believe that the only emotion that we feel is hatred but nothing could be further from the truth. Jealousy is certainly part of that group of emotions but it is more the reminder of my own separation from human connection and intimacy than it is anything else. Every single time I watch interracial, there is a certain amount of pain that I feel because these emotions are brought out of me. In terms of my general observations, there seem to be a few clear factors that drive racists towards watching interracial.
1) Racists are fascinated by race. It makes a kind of sense that a group of people who spend a lot of time thinking about race and who find racial differences to be intriguing, would then find the contrast between the two races that are the most different from one another, Africans and Europeans, to have a certain appeal to it as well. Just like the atheist who knows the Bible better than most Christians or the Christian who could quote atheist arguments by heart, the intelligent racist often knows quite a bit more about other races and cultures than your average liberal. This fascination has lead some racists to become interested in Japanese culture while it has led others towards the interracial fetish. The racial perspective colors, pardon the pun, every aspect of how you see the world. You begin to think racially, talk racially, act racially and so on. If you are fascinated by something then you have a certain amount of intensity of feeling about it and there is no greater driver of attraction than passionate and intense emotions.
2) Racists have passionate beliefs about race and people who believe in something passionately will also tend to have fears that equal their passions. In the wake of the election of Donald Trump in 2016, several feminists have written about being terrified and aroused by masculine Trump supporters. The realm of fantasy and interracial porn allows for a space in which fears can be confronted and dealt with. Most racists do fear blacks. They see the black tendency for group violence and group action in general and this triggers a stronger fear response from racists then it does from less racist/more individualist whites. This fear builds up into anxiety and eventually all of that anxiety and fear needs an outlet. The deep passion that racists feel creates further anxiety. If you feel passionately about something then you will almost certainly feel that you are responsible for its success or failure, that the weight of the world falls on you to some degree. When you want to relieve those anxieties, what’s better than dealing with your fears by making them into fictional attractions? In this case, the fear is of race mixing and white women being taken from our tribe and the fictional attraction is, for some, watching interracial material. For me, watching interracial brings up some of the deepest and darkest feelings I have. Those feelings come from the fact that I am dealing with watching the opposite of what I want to see happen and finding it appealing at the same time. Those who are unable to understand these contradictions or at least sympathize with them, have not led an emotionally complex life, I don’t think. To hate something and find it alluring at the same time, to be opposed to something passionately but to also be drawn to it, these are some of the most human of human of emotions and without them, we would be emotionally flat.
3) Racists are fascinated by dark and grim things. If there is one thing that is a through-line with racists in America and in all of Europe, it is that we love looking into the darkest aspects of humanity and we love thinking in highly pessimistic tones. From the racist fiction of H.P. Lovecraft, to the fascist science fiction of Richard Heinlein, to the racist poems of Rudyard Kipling, and the racist philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, the racist mind has always excelled at peering into the darkest aspects of humanity and has always been good at assuming the worst. And what could be more dark and unsettling for a racist than the idea of beautiful white women having sex with Africans? Not much is more dark or unsettling and the desire to revisit those dark emotions and feelings is part of what drives the racist interest in interracial. I want to make sure to say that I have absolutely no idea how many racists watch interracial. It could be a very small number but I watch it and it would be an interesting phenomena if only a few dozen watch interracial.
There are, of course, obvious examples of racist insecurities about masculinity and some who have inferiority complexes but those are all rather boring and stuff that most of you have probably heard a thousand times before. I won’t deny that that is behind why some racists watch interracial but the deeper complexities are missed with that kind of analysis. Conflict is a massive part of what drives all human beings. We often feel different parts of ourselves fighting with one another and it is in those moments of conflict that the fireworks of humanity go off. It is in those moments of our deepest internal conflicts that we truly become human and become truly interesting. The conflict of being a racist and watching interracial is a profound internal conflict and one that I have attempted to reconcile to some degree.
