Vintage blacktowhite ... when it was really taboo

I think a lot of blacktowhite forum members like the subject because of the taboo biracial sex has had in the past. So I'm starting a thread on vintage racial pics, circa pre-1980s. To some that maybe lived the 1930's-1960's you may remember how taboo it was for white females to be seen with black men, much less having open sex with them. Although there is still signs of society pushback on black & white sex, imagine living in a part of history where a black man just whistling or touching a white often had some rather grim results ... that's what makes THESE vintage racial pics so dynamic.
I'll post a dozen or so, and if there is interest I'll post more. Not sure how I came about some of these pics, but some are real jewels and snapshots of a turbulent time of US history. Hope you like!

I like it. You finally get to see some bushes.
 
I've noticed your occasional snarky comments sprinkled throughout this and other threads. If you're interested in espousing some political agenda, which obviously you are, then how about you do it in the appropriate thread set up for political discussions? This thread is supposed to be about the vintage depiction/representation of taboo interracial relationships and interracial sex, not about what the Republican (or Democratic) party may have done to improve race relations in America.

But since we're on it, why do you think that southerners embraced the Republican party, the party of Lincoln that beat them down in the Civil War and ended their way of life? It's because it was the Democratic party that chose to support the civil rights movement and desegregation, which the majority of southerners did not want. That's why.

So, you can post that a Republican did this and a Republican did that all you want to, but nobody here gives a ******* number one. And number two, it doesn't change the fact that the Democratic party has done more to advance race relations in the 20th century forward than has the Republican party. That's why most African-Americans belong to the former versus the latter.

Trump asked where are my African-Americans (after all we have nothing to lose by pulling for him 🤔😐🙄)? I reply . . . in the Democratic party! And where the white women at??? In my hotel room with their underwear down 😂😛👍🏽 Now I'm DONE with you.

You have drank to much kool-aid and I can tell you have never opened a history book in your life.

Looking for a vintage 8mm loop from the 70s with following content:

2 beautiful white women are reading an advertisement in a newspaper and decide to respond to it by postal mail. A few days later a black man is visiting them at home.

I can’t remember the title of this 8mm film, neither if it had sound because I saw saw it once on projector without sound features. I remember that the film box cover showed something like a black pussy (not beeing in the film) and it was red colored on the back. It was a paper sleeve box. The 8mm (super 8) film has been sold in Germany and I think it was made in Denmark (or Sweden or in the UK or in The Netherlands...). I can also rcall that the description on the back was at least in german (maybe also in english and french).

The mail box where the women put their letter in is red (maybe UK or Scandinavian…); The black man wears a brown leather jacket when he is searching the house to visit;


Maybe someone knows about this one... Would love to see it again!
Thanks everyone in advance.
 
I was listening to National Public Radio this morning when I heard a most fascinating story. I thought I would share it here. It was about singer-songwriter Janis Ian and a song she released in 1966 (charted as high as 14). The song is about an interracial relationship, and she wrote it when she was only 13 years old! I've included a link where you can see her actually perform the song on the TV show The Smothers Brothers, which was an extremely popular TV show at the time.

I consider the song and her performance of it for a national television audience to be a rare, vintage find, and a ballad/statement about the perils of interracial relationships in the 1960's, a time when more and more black boys and white girls were going together and having sex. I wanted to include far more interesting background information about Janis and the song (she got death threats!), but this STUPID site keeps changing the name of the song to "Society's Baby", causing any link with the real name of the song in it to not work :mad::mad::mad:!!! It's why I'm not using the name of the song now as I write this, since auto-editor would change it!

The NPR story:


The controversial lyrics:

Come to my door, baby
Face is clean and shining black as night
My mama went to answer
You know that you looked so fine
Now I could understand the tears and the shame
She called you "Boy", instead of your name
When she wouldn't let you inside
When she turned and said
"But honey, he's not our kind"

She says I can't see you any more, baby
Can't see you any more

Walk me down to school, baby
Everybody's acting deaf and blind
Until they turn and say
"Why don't you stick to your own kind?"
My teachers all laugh, their smirking stares
Cutting deep down in our affairs
Preachers of equality
Think they believe it?
Then why won't they just let us be?

They say I can't see you any more, baby
Can't see you any more

One of these days I'm gonna stop my listening
Gonna raise my head up high
One of these days I'm gonna raise up
My glistening wings and fly
But that day will have to wait for a while
Baby, I'm only society's baby
When we're older, things may change
But for now this is the way they must remain

I say -- I can't see you any more, baby
Can't see you any more
No, I don't want to see you any more, baby

Performance on The Smothers Brothers:


As a side note, Janis Ian is considered to be a "one hit wonder" as she only had one truly smash hit . . . called At Seventeen (reached no. 3 on the pop chart) . . . .
