Legend Lexington Steele exclusively told VladTV that "it's never really bothered" him that certain women refuse to shoot a scene with him because he's Black, but he's surely noticed that there's a substantial difference in the numbers he accumulates versus someone who can work with all of the women in the industry.
Steele says that women in the entertainment industry who "choose to not include interracial" are really just "shorting" themselves a significant amount of money by not doing the scenes. "For those that choose to not do certain things for their own personal reasons, the flip side is they're not making the same amount of money [as those who do]." says Lex. He also added that "it's impossible for them to achieve the same levels of popularity" as opposed to the White women who will sleep with Black men on film.

BALTIMORE (Associated Press) — Baltimore's top prosecutor announced criminal charges Friday against all six officers suspended after a man suffered a fatal spinal injury in police custody, saying "no one is above the law."
"Mr. Gray's death was a homicide," State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby declared. His arrest was illegal and his treatment in custody amounted to murder and manslaughter, she said.
Freddie Gray being arrested
The announcement came after nearly two weeks of growing anger over Freddie Gray's death, and only hours after Mosby received the results of the internal police investigation and an official autopsy report. As Mosby spoke, the city was bracing for huge crowds in two more waves of protests Friday and Saturday.
Mosby announced the stiffest charge -- second-degree "depraved heart" murder -- against the driver of the police van. Other officers face charges of involuntary manslaughter, assault and illegal arrest.
The officers failed to get medical help even though Gray requested it repeatedly after he was chased down and pinned to a sidewalk on April 12 and hoisted into the van. At some point while he was in custody, he suffered a mysterious spinal injury and died a week later.
Mosby said the switchblade officers accused Gray of illegally carrying clipped inside his pants pocket was in fact a legal knife, and no justification for his arrest, which she said was illegal.
Mosby said she comes from five generations of police officers, and that the charges against these six officers should in no way damage the relationship between police and prosecutors in Baltimore.
She swiftly rejected a request from the Baltimore police officers union asking her to appoint a special independent prosecutor because of her ties to attorney Billy Murphy, who is representing Gray's family. Murphy was among Mosby's biggest campaign contributors last year, donating the maximum individual amount allowed, $4,000, in June. Murphy also served on Mosby's transition team after the election.
Fraternal Order of Police local president Gene Ryan told Mosby in a letter before the charges were announced Friday that none of the six suspended officers were responsible for Gray's death.
The state medical examiner's office said it sent the autopsy report to prosecutors Friday morning. Spokesman Bruce Goldfarb says the Office of the Chief State Medical Examiner will not release the report publicly while the case is under investigation.

Celebrated for her world renowned adult acting chops, Pinky recently visited VladTV for an exclusive interview, and this section details her thoughts on how race is such a big factor in her profession.
The industry may present a veneer of open love, but Pinky contends, "That free love is for the fans to forget the business and think that it's all fantasy. That free love is for the artist to forget how much the companies are making off them -and they're not even charging enough - and they're just getting what they're getting for a scene."
As the dialogue delves into the topic of interracial scenes, she speaks on why there's a larger market for scenes depicting black men hooking up with white women, as opposed to white men with black women. Pinky frankly says, "I believe more white men have a fantasy; it's more of a fetish and fantasy to see a white woman get d**ked down by some mandingo African."
