As an African American woman, and business owner, I find it completely offensive, racist and totally exploitive that Kick Ass Pictures, has released a DVD entitled Nappy Head Hos. This sends a message loud and clear to African Americans that racism is alive and kicking and Mark Kulkis has the audacity to gain profit from this outright racism.

The very people that he seeks to hire for his productions are the one to suffer from his blatant racism, and I call for members of the adult African American community to stand up and send a message to Mark Kulkis that we acknowledge this DVD as racism and will not supply any talent and/or production work unless this DVD is removed from distribution.

I understand the fine line that exists in the adult community in regards to exploiting the fantasies for consumers to create a viable product, and as an adult film producer, I have produced films to satisfy the imagination on consumers, but this DVD lacks any smidgen of artistic quality and is merely a stunt to gain financially at the expense of African Americans. I am appalled and surprised that Mark Kulkis would step this low to make money.

I urge all members of the African American community (and those that disagree with the actions of Kick Ass Pictures) to let your voice be heard. If we do not stand up for us, who will?
