I've got two friends who are black women as in straight out of the jungle in Africa. The amount of shit a black woman has to put up with in life is astounding. I think the effect of preconceptions from whites, other blacks and even other black women is impossible to even imagine if you're not a part of it. These two girls are smart enough to realise that they have to reinvent themselves if they are to get any control of their lives. Which means not being part of anything even remotely alternative. Both are extremly liberal and very open about anything. We have discussed BDSM and they are interested. It's just that they can't afford it if they want to do anything with their lives. Being able to chose your life style is a luxury in the world today.

I know a couple of black guys who are into it. But they're American. Blacks don't really have a seperate culture over there do they? So I'm not sure if it counts.
