As a black leather man I really appreciate this essay!  Indeed it is truly a life journey to respect and understand one's sexuality as a black leather man in a proper and sane context. From my perspective there is no easy way around this issue, and I like the fact this article supported the idea that this personal journey, at some point, requires work and self examination. Thanks again for this bravely written piece.<br/><br/>

Humans can always find ways to excuse any behavior in which they may wish to engage. Slavery has left a stain on the psyche of many.<br/><br/>

community still lingering. Into
images this superficial, yes my
opinion and others. Why not
simply the man not the attire apparently.  The Gay community
has not grown beyond this
insecure state.  I do not date
because of ( Body parts nor
Leather gear.  Most of men of my
nature are turn of by these externials...I am not in the market.
For mister motor Bottom lust nor
Mr. Black Motor Top chasing in
the image lane of Ego! Sorry I tell
the truth what next special treatment for gays. Guys when reach mid-age every Bottom may
not be. So alluring or handsome
we need to address this (insecurity) The images are not
necassary at all stop the. Tight
panst, inquiring about underwear,
and biker boots.  These are distractions not efficiency date
the man for qualities. You'll never
get away from commerical cyber-sex.  Hey another factor be
orginal I never seen a Black leather stud in Canada. Nor America this a Castro or Chicago
influence. Most the Black men I've
seen are handsome so. Why use
the enhancement of false facade
Stop the phony image be nature men you achieve success.<br/><br/>

I am one of the early black men that dared to become part of the Leather community in the early 80's. I did take crap from other gay men (black, white, and hispanic), but stuck to my guns and underwent all trial of fire. I was under the guidence and servitude of a stern, but patient Old Guard Master who was white. And he taught me well until his sudden death. I practiced and grew until I became a well know black dom in my area. I do not regret what I have done in my years of BDSM play. I even held a title for a short while. I was willing to out myself out there then, And still do on occasion. 

Thanks for a great article<br/><br/>
