I was in my late 20s. He was in his late 30s. When he opened his hotel room door, he towered over me. He was friendly and offered me a glass of wine before we got down to business. While going down on him, he asked me if I liked it. I replied an enthusiastic, but sultry yes. He continued, \u201cGood. Because I love a Black <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">man<\/a> on his knees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.queerty.com\/black-gay-romance-pose-still-big-deal-20190811\">Why the black gay romance on \u2018Pose\u2019 is still such a big deal<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each one of his words slowly exited his mouth and washed over me like cement being poured onto a street. I was frozen at first but eventually found the words to tell him I had to leave. He apologized, but I grabbed my shit and bounced.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>That was one of many casually racist encounters I began to encounter in the <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> community\u2014either in person or on the apps. The only racism I\u2019ve ever encountered has been in interactions with white <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">men<\/a> in regards to <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a>. In fact, the\u00a0only people who have ever called me nigger have been <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> white <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">men<\/a>.\u00a0The objectification, the fetishization, and the racial slurs hurled at me when I\u2019ve respectfully declined a \u201clooking?\u201d message started to really <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">fuck<\/a> with my mind\u2014and my <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">dick<\/a>. So much so, occasionally it impacted my performance.<\/p>\n<p>Just about every time I sign into a dating app, I inadvertently engage in race play. So, seeing it play out on stage before my eyes on The Great White Way, was at first triggering, but then it became therapeutic.<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Slave Play<\/em>, Alana roleplays as the mistress of the plantation while her biracial boyfriend Phillip acts as her well-dressed house negro. While debriefing the experience, Phillip reflects on his experiences as a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">teen<\/a> as one of the only Black faces in a predominately white school, and he shares an experience that nearly jolted me out of my seat.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Phillip recalls a white teammate in a locker room saying to him he forgets Phillip is Black until he sees his big <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">dick<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Until that moment, I totally forgot about a white classmate saying those exact words to me in the locker room in high school. And because I must have buried the moment away, I didn\u2019t even realize it impacted me today\u2014like Phillip\u2014and how traumatic it has actually been to my sense of self and how it has all manifested in just about all of my intimate relationships with white <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">men<\/a> and my own <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">dick<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So, there I am trying to watch this fine play, but I\u2019m replaying all of the shitty things white <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">men<\/a> have \u201cinnocently\u201d said to me.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>This is another amazing thing Harris does with <em>Slave Play<\/em>. All of the white partners seem to try to separate themselves from their whiteness. As if they are neutral and none of what\u2019s happening has anything to do with them. They are all, assumed to be well-meaning, educated people. And racism? That\u2019s for racist Southern folk.<\/p>\n<p>But like my own experiences having only experienced racism by <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> white <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">men<\/a> in big cities like NYC, that\u2019s where these characters <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">live<\/a>. It\u2019s an incredibly smart way to show how whiteness in the north is just as harmful and violent as it is in southern states.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a>, Black <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">man<\/a> who is an equal opportunity lover or banger, <em>Slave Play<\/em> is going to punch you in the gut and ask you to reflect on your <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> life not to mention your love life.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>And if you can\u2019t get to the theater, get to your therapist so you can unpack any trauma and leave it in this decade.<\/p>\n<p><em>Lamar Dawson is a pop culture junkie living in New York City.
