Black male performer Mandingo writes 3/1/01:

I really do wonder if this email will be posted LUKE.

I really didn't want to break the code of Omerta, but I'm really getting tired of this s---. This is BDF, Big Dick Fred, otherwise known as the sophomore level Black male adult performer Mandingo.

Up until a few weeks ago, I never knew the names such as Gene Ross, Steve Hirsch, Alan Miles, or Luke F-rd. A little bird told me that I need to check the Luke F-rd site, because the posting I put just might ruin my name and future work?

What f---in' posting I stated? Who the f--- is Luke F-rd? After taking time to review the Internet political side of the adult industry, I turned off my computer, went straight to toilet, and vomited off an on for about an hour. I damn near woke my daughter. I will address that in a moment.

You people who go around with this political race card s--- need to get a life. For number 1, Mr. Marcus and I don't talk on a regular basis.... we're too busy with our own damn lives and problem. For that matter, I rarely talk to any other Black male talent. WHICH IS SAD. I will address that in a moment, also.

Number 2, I've never been called for a Vivid scene in my 2 year span in the adult industry. So if Ax+By=Cxy, then an EDUCATED person would now that the "Vivid" issue has nothing to due with me, or have an effect on me, so why am I protesting for someone else? Common f---in' sense people.

MandingoX, you bitch. If you were a real man you'd use your own f---ing name, and not use mine as some plot to discredit my name and my "light" in the adult industry.

Ever since I got into this business, people have been trying to equate my name with some type of militant. Or a problem. I really don't give a f---, people who know me, love me. Whether their Black, White, Yellow, Brown, or Red.

ManDingo is not some reference to the f---in' movie either. Keep in mind, I just turned 26. I also had to read this crap during my birthday weekend. Thanks LUKE ha ha ha. Real funny.

ManDingo the movie, as we all now, and I know now, was released in 1975. The year of my birth. So obviously, I knew nothing of the crap when I got in the business. Females I used to have relations with in college called me "ManDingo". Our generation took "ManDingo" as a reference to phallus prowess and excellence.

ManDingo if some don't know, was one of the first African tribes to be enslaved. For obvious reasons, they were one of the strongest tribes controlling the West coast of Africa. So to dominate, get them first. Makes perfect sense to me.

I chose to get into this business for one reason, and one reason only. MONEY, COLD HARD CASH. At the end of my college career, I was lucky enough to graduate, not accomplish everything I wanted, and ended getting a girl pregnant who had no goals in life.

She, to make a long story short, lied about other "children" she had, and couldn't take care of one more. So I took my child, with no money bills up the ass, working a waiter job. My life started to look bleak. Girls stopped calling because they knew of my new situation and didn't want to be bothered. I saw myself becoming broke and broker and broker. So I knew I couldn't catch a ball for s---. I've got no handles on the basketball court. WHAT CAN I DO TO PUT MONEY IN MY POCKET?????

WELL, HERE I am. I hope it makes you feel good to discredit a full time father trying to make ends meet.

HA HA HA LUKE, VERY FUNNY. HA HA HA LUKE, Its funny how I have to bust my ass to buy all the asthma medicine for my daughter, who has chronic asthma.

HA HA HA LUKE, Its funny discrediting someone while they sit there and watch their daughter cough, and choke in their sleep, trying to catch their breath. Luke, you're starting to make me sick again.

HA HA HA LUKE, people use this "monopoly" money to survive: pay bills, feed their children, support their families. I know numerous good parents in this industry.

I'm starting to get a bad taste in my mouth for you LUKE. When I got into this business I needed a name. What the f--- can I call myself? I wanted the cool first name, last name. But I just couldn't think of s---. f--- it, just use ManDingo.

I know it's hard for some people to say. Yea, I know it's long. Doesn't look good for some "type" of companies, but who cares. I wanted to be the international lover boy, the ManDingo prince. Also when I first got in this business, I was hated like most do. Funny thing Luke, I was hated by other Blacks in the industry.

So, f--- your MandingoX because he has now been negated. A lot of the Black performers didn't like my appearance, and felt I was too clean cut. Not "Black" enough. What the f--- is that. If you've seen me, the first thing you'll notice is how Black I am. Competition is tough, staying on top is hard. And staying in the game is hard. No one wants to loose what they put their all into the "business". So I understood that.

That's not to say I wasn't hated by Whites as well. It's called competition. In America, the American Free Enterprise system deals with competition. And that's whether your Black, White, Yellow, Brown, or Red. People need to face that and stop bitching.

I remember one of my boys in this industry, who remain nameless (remember Omerta?, or you don't know the definition) took me to Vivid one day for the obvious. WORK as we call it. I hate that f---ing word now. I go in there, and they want the whole polaroid thing. Not my thing, but f--- it. One guy recognized me from a gangbang. "Your BDF right? Changed your name to ManDingo?"

I say, that's right you spotted me. I'm spotted already....in the corner I hear someone say, "LOCK AND LOAD FELLAS!" I'm no f---in fool. But I'm no troublemaker. I'm a moneymaker. Anyone who makes money doesn't need bulls--- ignorant trouble. WHY? It's stops the flow of their money.

In America, all races depend on each other, whether they realize it or not. I'm not going to go into the whole historical bulls---. Do you're own damn research. I don't need to prove my intelligence, I got a degree remember? BA IN BITCH. (now what am I going to do with it!!!!!)

Like Dirk Diggler, I grew up in the South Bay. In the South Bay, you've got a mixture of all races. Everyone has his or her prejudices and bigotries. We all do. But out there people get respect by doing. Not sitting back complaining about s---. There's a lot of successful people out their because they're doers, regardless of color. I grew up around Whites, Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Samoans, Philippinos, American Indians, and Eastern Indians.

I never knew that all of there races we all massed in porn either. However, there are a lot of White people I don't like, and there are a lot OF BLACK PEOPLE I SURELY DON'T LIKE. I don't get hired by a number of Black companies, due to my rate. SO HOW THE f--- AM I A BLACK MILITANT FOR SOME CAUSE??????????????

MandingoX you are now dead. ManDingo has killed you you bitch. I like White people. I have alot of White people who I admire and respect very highly, and they in turn respect me as well.

1.Mark Wood! You my man dogg!

2.Samantha Sterlyng, no disrespect to the hubby, and Obsession's going to kill me, but I LOVE YOU GIRL!!!!!!!!!!! You made me the star I am.

3.Bridgett Kerkove, I don't know what my problem was both scenes (shhhhh), maybe I was scared of you girl. Skeeter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What up dogg!!!!!!! You my man. LUKE you dick. Skeeter was one of the cats who taught me to "just call down dog, it'll be ok" I've used some of his coooool azzzz personality to add to my own.

4.Steve Austin! My man, and secret fan. (ooops)

5.Sophie Evans thank you so much for overcoming my mental block with condoms.

13YANI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YANI!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know if you want to be called White, but anyway. YANI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY NUMBER ONE CAMERA MAN.

14. Last but certainly not least, the King of Cream, the big pimp, Rodney Moore.

To all I didn't mention, I love you too. I'm just tired of writing now. Finally my daughter's sound asleep. Truth Guardian, thank you for coming to my defense. MandingoX's response was more than amusing. I DON'T f---IN' TALK LIKE THAT.

Diana, we agree and disagree on certain things. I do believe Black should pull their resources, we've spoke. But REALITY is a muther f---er. People got to survive. How many Black adult actors/actresses will do it? Especially with new people tripping and falling into the business doing anything for money. It's damn near to hard to regulate.

Only thing you do, is make good quality s---. From there sparks ambition, attention, attraction, MAKETABLITY and onto other levels. Everyone, Black , White, Yellow, Brown, and Red think on different levels within their own race. There's money grubbin' broke people of all ethnicities in this business. There are times where I'm one.

A lot of Blacks don't like other Blacks, a lot of Whites don't like other Whites. NO ONE f---IN LIKES ANYBODY, LUKE, AND THAT'S' THE WORLD. They're certain levels of morality in Black porn, as well as White porn, and Latin porn, etc.

The only solution is for the people who are cool with each other, whether Black, White, Yellow, Brown, or Red to do their own thing. All the racist f---s: Black, White, Yellow, Brown, Red can just kiss the cool peoples ass. And that's the bottom line.

Sincerely, BDF, the real ManDingo from West Coast Productions. March 1, 2001 fin
