The streets are buzzing about the recent revelation that the daughter of actor Lawrence Fishburne is set to be a porn star…I know many of us like to make jokes and will pass harsh judgment on such a decision. Like comedian Chris Rock noted in one of his jokes, if your daughter grows up and starts hitting the pole, you failed as a parent. With that as a running commentary, one can only imagine what Fishbourne is thinking or feeling. The thought of our loved ones getting fucked is not an image we like to have in our minds although many of us have no problem hosting such sordid thoughts on someone else’s daughter. This is just one of many glaring contradictions we as a society hold.
The fact that porn is a multi-billion dollar a year industry speaks volumes. Go to any corporate owned hotel, turn on your TV and porn is available for a fee. Turn on any corporate backed cable system and porn is available for a fee. My point being is that as much as we all are laughing at Montana Fishburne aka Chippy D going into porn and lamenting the feelings of her dad, Lawrence, there’s still a lot of us sons and daughters, mothers and fathers who routinely indulge by purchasing and at the very least watching…
In terms of contradictions if we’re concerned about young women being forced into this industry and being exploited etc or young people getting the wrong idea on how to make a quick buck, one might ask when was the last time one of us insisted that ‘legit’ institutions not make these ‘products of exploitation’ so readily available? Sex sells. It’s always sold and many of us are the consumers directly and indirectly. What are we doing to add to or take away from those sales?
What caught my attention with Montana was her citing Kim Kadashian as the model for success. She noted, “I’ve watched how successful Kim Kardashian became and I think a lot of it was due to the release of her sex tape.” In the middle of the worse recession of any of our lifetimes, Kim seems to have more money than many of us combined and do the degree that making money selling sex or simply doing a reality show vs teaching kids on how to be the next great problem solver to our collective woes is more of a harsh commentary on all of us than it is Montana or her dad especially if we find ourselves watching her tape when it comes out later this month
Yes, SADLY many fathers, mothers, grandfathers, uncles, of young girls will want to see this porn flick — not even considering that this COULD be there child and that the CHILDREN of many parents like them have to suffer knowing that their children are involved in such sadness.
I find it interesting that there are not posts yet on this topic… maybe if it was something about “the po po” or blaming Bush for it, or something I dunno, more leftie people would post… I guess there are alot of Brian Pumper fans on here.. hmpft…
Wow…I can’t believe that…if it’s for money, then that’s not good…
job center plus
Jose what you may not realize is that this post has little effect on the communities that we represent. The issues presented in this post tell a sordid tale of a lustful young woman who someday may regret her decision to “make it.”
While you brought up the subject of “the po po” (The police I presume?), you should have brought up the fact that there are states that are attempting to make it illegal to videotape them while they are on duty. And if you support Bush so much, why don’t you admire Obama their records are nearly identical.
Jose doesn’t like Obama because he’s black. That’s obvious. Jose doesn’t trust blacks and Latinos, unless they’re Republicans. He doesn’t go to his family get togethers anymore.
Davey nailed it, btw. black women have been doing porn for a long time, nobody cared. Now Fishburne’s daughter’s doing it, suddenly everyone’s an armchair psychologist. Some of you are going to watch this video and pleasure yourself, despite criticizing it. I know Jose will.
My point is that this post is reflective of a larger issue… many on this forum will be righteous in one space, but love themselves some porn in another space… make sense? Revolutionary over here, but weed smoking, and womanizing over there. I don’t support “Bush” so much, he’s gone, been gone, and history will judge him a bad president, in my opinion. And Gust, you just need to get off my nuts.
Sadly, now that the University of Georgia has been offically noted as the top party school I’m sure there will be a lot more “girls gone wild” flicks made there. Right or wrong, these are the future leaders of America. Lord help us!
Jose, your entire life is an exercise in being righteous while watching loads of porn. You fit the COMPLETE profile for a porn addict. Rejected by your peers growing up, angry at women for liking thugs, and constantly preaching out of one side of your mouth while being a hateful, spiteful rat in the other.
Jose doesn’t like Obama because he’s black. That’s obvious. Jose doesn’t trust blacks and Latinos, unless they’re Republicans. He doesn’t go to his family get togethers anymore.
Sad story!
This is terrible. Fathers need to stay in their daughters lives, even in they are out working a lot. VIdeo call, cell phone, payphone, letters. Let her know you’re there. She looks liek a young, alouf, insecure, head in the clouds young lady. Honestly, if i was the father i’d put out a hit on Brian. Laurance got paper to find him a quiet killer. Brian is a piecce of shit, trying to look like a rapper/gangster. This girl can never take this back. It’s everywhere. What a shame. I would kill Brian, though. Real Speech.
I think everyone is failing to miss the point here. The fact that this young woman is willing to basically sell herself to the industry because she is not willing to start at the bottom and work her way to the damn top, is a issue all in itself. That is ridiculous! Now don’t get me wrong, if u want to eff for a living, by all means do you, but I am sorry, she sounds ignorant! Im sorry, yes she is my fellow black sister, and yes we are supposed to raise each other up, but part of our problem is nobody is willing to step to us to say “hey lil sister, you going about this all in the wrong way, you don’t have to achieve what you want like that..”
Does the fact tht she named Kim Kardashian as a role model not scare the hell outta anybody but me? Are these really the “capable, independent, and strong” women that are supposed to one day run society? The fact that she praises someone who slept her way to the top (Mind you, can anyone name a actual film that Kim Kardashian has played in that has not been straight to DVD or where her appearance has not been less than five seconds?)
Earlier, the writer cited Chris Rock as saying ” If your daughter grows up hitting the pole, then you’ve failed somewhere as a parent”. Now not this all can be blame on Lawrence F., but in a twisted way, it makes you think. What kind of girl, who has a loving man in her life, who tells her “baby you are beautiful” or “Baby you are somebody’s child, always keep your dignity” would even think abt doing something to “benefit her career”? Although Montana is technically grown, you have to wonder what the hell went on in her life to make think that this was the way to get her career started?
I know I sound self righteous, but Im sorry, I’m 21 year old young woman, and this kind of mess is a reflection of ME! A reflection of the women in my race!! Its the reason that I have to work 8x harder to prove that Im just not some dumb blk girl who would do anything to make it. God bless
EPIC FAILURE FOR SUCH A YOUNG BLACK SISTER!!! DONT THEY KNOW THAT PORN STARS JUST LIKE STRIPPERS ARE NOTHING MORE THAN GLAMORIZED WHORES.NEED TO MAKE BETTER LIFE CHOICES AND DEVELOP SELF ESTEEM AND SELF WORTH THAN IDOLIZING SOME CAVE BITCH LIKE KIM KARDASHIAN WHO IS FAMOUS FOR WHAT EXACTLY??DONT WATCH BULLSHIT REALITY SHOWS BECAUSE THEY MAKE NO DAMN SENSE!!!PORN MESSES WOMEN UP SO FIND A BETTER PROFESSION MONTANA FISHBURNE BECAUSE GET FAMOUS FOR SOME PORN SHIT AINT WORTH IT IN THE LONG RUN.
Kim Kardashian like a porn star uses her sexuality to make money and she even made a personal sextape however unlike a porn star she does not get paid to have sex on the record, which is what classifies you as a professional. Which sadly to say Montana Fishbourne will soon learn is why the Kardashians have a pass to permeate pop culture, because they are not pornographers and therefore can be seen in other roles (businesswomen, moms, fashion designers, spokeswomen,etc) I hope she doesnt do it if she really wants a mainstream career. There is not one actress who has succesfully crossed over.
