Benji " No doubt a lot of the black community find it offensive but if more took your view on the phrase instead of overlooking it just to get their cock wet maybe the phrase would die out like a lot of other offensive words have over time, Or maybe some don't care about some words or that phrase who knows | |||

"I really don't think any woman out there means any offense what so ever by saying they are a QOS, or using any of the QOS symbols. It's purely a sexual preference that really excites them, and they want to let black gentleman know their strong sexual desire for them ; ) . " On the surface yes. But it does then bring up to question of fetishisation and the way black men are viewed. Especially when I’ve seen so many people use the word “taboo” to explain their preference. These days I’m all for do whatever you want, but I think it’s also important for people to at least be aware. | |||

"I do understand what your saying, and I do agree, some black gentlemen find it offensive for a woman to use that language. I'm quite sure she would reframe from using that language if the gentleman said he didn't like her speaking that way. Personally, I've never known any ladies, transgender ladies, or men, that are attracted to black gentlemen, that are actually racist. I can't imagine being attracted to a black gentleman and also being racist against him too, that just doesn't seem possible, at least for me it isn't. When I'm attracted to a man I don't care what color he is, I only care what kind of person he is, that's what matters." So if you’re attracted to them why would you use words that are offensive to a group of people they’re part of? There’s no excuse just stop using the word ..... you can justify the ‘intent’ all you like racism is racism | |||

Just like there’s plenty of men who are attracted to women and still manage to be sexist and misogynistic. And tons of men attracted to trans/tv/cd or even men and happen to be transphobic and homophobic. The world has a lot of nuance. | |||

"I’m sure there’s a vast amount of people in the swinging lifestyle that accept racism and allow terms such as QOS or BBC to be common phrases so they can feel better with their fetishisation of people of colour. Weirdly it seems that black males are more willing to accept these small minded titles as some badge of honour unlike black women who seem more repulsed by labels such as hot chocolate or exotic pussy. It’s 2021 people, maybe it’s time for racism to be seen as unacceptable in all parts of society." To right it shouldn't exist in 2021, people are people what ever there origins | |||

"Perhaps Fabs owners should consider banning anyone who wants to use user names that include BBC , Ace of Spades or Queen of Spade if they cause that much offensive.Some people will use these names to get more meets others will be to offend / embarrassed to use them in their username or profile.As far as I am concerned if someone says to me last night I had the Queen of Spades or the Ace of Spades I would think they were playing poker or black jack ( black jack another name that could be viewed as offensive ) " It isn't the terms that are offensive it's the context in which they're used.

" Just a view from a otherwise silent minority on the forums.

There's nothing controversial about this, a preference can be legitimately and well described without resorting to language that a certain community might find offensive and possibly alienate some members of that community who might make exceptional play partners.

"To me the word “spade” is the same as the N word. And it’s used by racists in the same way, and people have called me it in the same context that they’d use any other racial slur. It shouldn’t be used or defended. Would these same women be comfortable calling themselves “The queen of N-word’s ”? " As a Yorkshire man "calling a spade a spade " is nothing to do with race . But i can't use the phrase now due to the increasing americanisation of our language . But back on topic , i am amazed that the term BBC is allowed on the forums on this day and age . The number of profiles must run to the hundreds that state BBC only or prefered. Its the first thing i scan a profile for after age , as it's that common. Not heard of QOS before but seen enough ace of spade tatoos on profile pics. | |||

If the word spade is used on Fabs with regards to a username or preference I think that is the person right unless Fabs choose to ban the word.From a personal perspective I wouldn’t use it in my username so from that angle this post does not amuse me. | |||

"These terms need banning to history. Is it time these terms weren’t acceptable on any forums anymore? Colour should never determine a person. " I don’t think that would be fair. If you do a username search for “BBC” it seems that over 90% of the results are profiles for black males - surely if they are using the term to describe themselves then those individuals should be free to use it. Equally, someone who seeks individuals who use that term to identify themselves should also be free to use it so the two individuals can find each other | |||

As far as I can see the detracting point of view has been aired in a perfectly civilised way, there's no need to sensationalise the issue to trivialise those contributions or degrade the conversation. All sides can be heard respectfully, we might learn something we didn't know or fully appreciate. | |||

Incidentally, I believe individuals should be able to describe themselves as they want, but equally others should be able to comment on those terms generally. | |||

Everything can be fetishised: feet, hair colour, nail polish, age, certain Sex toys - It’s not automatically a bad thing. It’s all about context. There’s a lack of posts complaining about the term “MILF” or the way mothers are viewed. Especially when so many people use the word “taboo” to explain that preference too. Funny old world isn’t it, but I guess difference in opinion is what keeps it unique | |||

So I’m gonna have to disagree with you on that. Also saying everything can be fetishised dismissed the issue which has been raised. | |||

"Judging by a lot of the profiles on this site that I've come across a lot of black guys are having great success meeting couples and singles who profess a love for BBC and advertise themselves as Queens of Spades. I think even some the clubs in England advertise nights that cater for these fetishs and have great success. All that said I do feel sorry for a lot of black guys as there must be enormous pressure to fit into a stereotype that has been built up by porn " On a wider note a few black men and white women who rely on these racial clichés aren't going to influence social change one way or another, but it's interesting how these terms are still seen as acceptable even in supposed enlightened times, it is 2021 after all, not 1961. Yes, a few black men play into these stereotypes for reasons that are obvious, but a majority don't and we're starting at last to hear their voices, they don't want to be conflated together with the BBC Brigade, or those who think a white woman sporting a QoS tattoo is being complimentary. | |||

Although I personally believe such basic acronyms aren't that helpful, there's a subtle difference-at least BBW acknowledges the subject is a human being..Big Beautiful Woman, BBC (Big Black Cock) does not. As a woman and feminist, I'd be unhappy if a stereotype of white women existed amongst black men whereby the vernacular to describe us was BWC..Big White Cunt. | |||

"I dont think OP meant it as a racist thing ,just an innocent question, cant it been seen as that ?"

Why is it so hard for people to see a black man saying 'this is offensive to me' and respond 'ah, OK, I'll be more careful about using this term in public in future'?

"I dont think OP meant it as a racist thing ,just an innocent question, cant it been seen as that ? Good intentions don't magically make everything OK. Why is it so hard for people to see a black man saying 'this is offensive to me' and respond 'ah, OK, I'll be more careful about using this term in public in future'? It's the smallest amount of effort to make people feel welcome. You can still use any terms you want when having private conversations. So black guys promoting themselves as BBC will be barred from the sight too? M" Some people like to having boxing matches. That doesn't mean it's OK to just go up to anyone and punch them. So guys can refer to themselves as BBC if they want to, but it's inconsiderate to apply unwanted labels to people. I can tell you're not good at context, but it's slightly more complicated than a term just being universally inappropriate. | |||

"Judging by a lot of the profiles on this site that I've come across a lot of black guys are having great success meeting couples and singles who profess a love for BBC and advertise themselves as Queens of Spades. I think even some the clubs in England advertise nights that cater for these fetishs and have great success. All that said I do feel sorry for a lot of black guys as there must be enormous pressure to fit into a stereotype that has been built up by porn " | |||

"I do understand what your saying, and I do agree, some black gentlemen find it offensive for a woman to use that language. I'm quite sure she would reframe from using that language if the gentleman said he didn't like her speaking that way. Personally, I've never known any ladies, transgender ladies, or men, that are attracted to black gentlemen, that are actually racist. I can't imagine being attracted to a black gentleman and also being racist against him too, that just doesn't seem possible, at least for me it isn't. When I'm attracted to a man I don't care what color he is, I only care what kind of person he is, that's what matters." Really? Maybe you haven’t been paying enough attention. Tell that to the traders who participated in the transatlantic atrocities in America, UK and the Caribbean, who regularly sexually abused, and in some cases had relationships with, and had kids with the enslafed peoples. Being attracted to black people doesn’t immunize white people from racism. Speak to some mixed people and they will tell you of their experiences of their white parent being racist towards them or their ex-partner, who happens to be non-white, in front of them. A black person should not have to educate a white person on what is offensive in this day and age whereby there is so much information at our finger-tips. They shouldn’t have to actually use offensive language and wait to be corrected by black people, before they stop using it. | |||

And anyone using it, black or otherwise. Is wrong for using it. So just because some black people, with lack of self-awareness, use it doesn’t mean it is OK for others to use it. If I see someone doing a bad thing to themselves or others, it’s doesn’t mean that it is OK for me to do it to others too. What should drive how you react is why any act/term is bad or offensive, and not who is doing it or not. | |||

"I really don't think any woman out there means any offense what so ever by saying they are a QOS, or using any of the QOS symbols. It's purely a sexual preference that really excites them, and they want to let black gentleman know their strong sexual desire for them ; ) . Doesn’t matter whether they mean offence or not, the point is it’s viewed by some/many black men as an offensive fetishisation of blackness. It really isn’t that complicated. " | |||

" Just a view from a otherwise silent minority on the forums. Sx These iffy terms proliferate in this lifestyle and have done for years, the silent minority might be the proud black men these phrases have been universally applied to who are only now starting to describe how they make them feel. There's nothing controversial about this, a preference can be legitimately and well described without resorting to language that a certain community might find offensive and possibly alienate some members of that community who might make exceptional play partners. Respect everyone " Well said!! Thank you. What is so difficult about hearing that a word is offensive to the people it is being directed towards and stopping it? How does it add any value to anyone’s life to insist or continue to use it? The only reason why anyone would defend the reason for using it - being secretly prejudiced. | |||

"These terms need banning to history. Is it time these terms weren’t acceptable on any forums anymore? Colour should never determine a person. I don’t think that would be fair. If you do a username search for “BBC” it seems that over 90% of the results are profiles for black males - surely if they are using the term to describe themselves then those individuals should be free to use it. Equally, someone who seeks individuals who use that term to identify themselves should also be free to use it so the two individuals can find each other" Would you say the same if a bunch of nazis were describing themselves as such on here? | |||

"Perhaps Fabs owners should consider banning anyone who wants to use user names that include BBC , Ace of Spades or Queen of Spade if they cause that much offensive.Some people will use these names to get more meets others will be to offend / embarrassed to use them in their username or profile.As far as I am concerned if someone says to me last night I had the Queen of Spades or the Ace of Spades I would think they were playing poker or black jack ( black jack another name that could be viewed as offensive ) It isn't the terms that are offensive it's the context in which they're used. The Queen of Spades and Black Jack aren't endangered species in card games! It’s probably only a matter of time before they are banned or publicly burned in some protest.. Blackjack is also known as Pontoon so it’s easy enough for me to say I played Pontoon but saying Queen of Shovels or Ace of Shovels doesn’t quite sound right but for the time been I stick to Ace of Spades or Queen of Spades" But a shovel is not a spade, you have to call it a spade or perhaps a manual single manned digging tool or similar. | |||

A significant proportion of black men and black women have been very clear that these phrases are offensive to them. We need to listen to what they are saying and stop using them. If a certain percentage want to use them to empower themselves I’m all for it. Taking back control is an awesome way to switch the power play. There is NOTHING wrong with a preference for black men and there’s NOTHING wrong with a preference for men who are well endowed. But why not just call them VWE black men?

" So when we take offence to racist terms we do it to make ourselves look good. This is the problem ,people who've never experienced racism in their lives think write such comments | |||

"Quite often you see people defending profiles where they are looking for black only or white only saying its their preference. To me this is judging people on the colour of their skin and inherently has some basis in racism. Maybe its because to me attraction is more than looks you could look stunning and have a attitude that stinks or be quite ordinary but be a top class person." Having a preference in who you meet or are attracted to is not racist. If I choose to say I only play with Chinese woman ,who am I being racist towards? Don't mistake preference for racism | |||

By your argument, being heterosexual or gay is sexism via discrimination against a person due to their sex / gender. There’s nothing wrong with sexual preferences. What isn’t ok is using outdated racist language to communicate them. | |||

"At the end of the day a lot of white people are gonna have the BBC fantasy/fetish and even consider themselves "Queens of spades" and a lot of consenting adult black guys are gonna be happy to entertain them for their own personal gratification. Mutually beneficial and they all live to tell the tale." But why can you not enjoy interracial sex without all the stupid labels attached to it? I think thats what people are getting at. Yeah some black will play up to the bbc thing but it gets them what they want. Bit manipulative really imho. | |||

"I really don't think any woman out there means any offense what so ever by saying they are a QOS, or using any of the QOS symbols. It's purely a sexual preference that really excites them, and they want to let black gentleman know their strong sexual desire for them ; ) . On the surface yes. But it does then bring up to question of fetishisation and the way black men are viewed. Especially when I’ve seen so many people use the word “taboo” to explain their preference. These days I’m all for do whatever you want, but I think it’s also important for people to at least be aware. " It’s a fair point ... but i have said things will only ever change if there is a consequence to the actions... in this case if people stopped getting meets because of it they would change the language that is used to express the preference So things will only ever change is if black guys stopped thinking with their cocks and actually express distain, or when black guys stopping seeing it as some sort of unique selling point to others to get their leg over.... One doesn’t work without the either..... it’s basically a catch 22 with no one prepared to try and break the cycle! | |||

At least a step in the right direction... | |||

"What makes me laugh about these threads and always absent in their numbers is the amount of people ready to express their disapproval of such terms but moreso the black man who actually don't care or are offended by such terms. There's been loads of QOS parties and the black guys who attend don't care, actually in our experience they're actually appreciative of the women who have these tattoos. It's only ever here on this forum that I see such disapproval. It's fantasy and at the parties all seem to get this, in the real world I very much doubt any of those who attend would approve of it, they're able to differentiate the swinging world from the real world, no one here has their real names on display which acknowledges that differentiation.

" Bravo, such a succinct & erudite contribution..not. Others are trying to have a grown, nuanced up conversation, yet you're restricting it to sensational and binary sentiments. The term 'spade' when used to describe black people is racist, that is indisputable and has historically been used to abuse black people. The fact the porn industry have seized it to create a catchy slogan doesn't make it any less so. It doesn't necessarily follow that people who use the term are racist or should be denied a preference, nobody's saying that but it's perfectly reasonable that people can comment on it and not shouted down..especially if they're affected by it. | |||

Yeah from the responses on this post I'm starting to get the feeling it might be a generational thing. I definitely didn't hear it at school, but then no one at my school was really racist as I went to a very mixed comprehensive school where we learned to respect people from all backgrounds. No one I've ever met has used that word, apart from referring to a card suit or gardening equipment anyway. | |||

Well, it is a very outdated term that I have not been called for a few years, but the term has been used by people of colour to self-identify. The "Black Spades" were a mostly African-American street gang which started in the Bronx during the late 1960s and gained popularity in the 1970s. My understanding of its origins is that black sl*ves were considered nothing more than tools to get a job done and the spade was the most common and useful tool, but the etymology is difficult to trace. | |||
