History:

Holloway House publishing, avoided both the East Coast literary establishment and Johnson Publishing Company by distributing their books in inner-city communities, prisons, and military bases across the country. Simultaneously, they were exploiting marginalized artists and writers to produce content for their company.

Culture:

The writers for Players magazine inspired hip-hop innovators like Nas, Tupac, and Notorious B.I.G. In American culture, porn is a stimulus of a popular imagination stratified and, indeed, haunted, by race. These portrayals, reinforce negative stereotypes about black people. When the only representations audiences see of minority characters are negative, these portrayals manifest to society. These images influence how audiences view minorities. Minorities also face implications from this by internalizing these representations. Negative representations that are internalized are demoralizing and reduce self-esteem. These representations impact our expectations for characters in thinking about stereotypes, and the kinds of characters that we expect certain bodies to portray. According to Miller-Young, black women are undervalued in the porn industry. Some examples that manifest themselves in the porn industry, is the binary that exists for black women; you are either a Mammy non sexual. Or the Jezebel, inherently available and hyper sexual. Black women are also disproportionately viewed as aggressive, domineering, and unfeminine. Whereas black men are depicted as animalistic and hyper masculine.
