I used to regularly take a bus route that had primarily black riders. What they read usually fell into one of three categories:
Afrocentric literature
Religious books
Business/Self help books

The only real answer is that it depends. Most blacks don't read that much, but that goes for most people anway and what someone reads depends pretty much soley on their enviroment and intelligence rather than their race anyway. You don't think that some nigerian warlord, a thug from detroit and some well educated lawyer read anything even remotely similar to each other on average, do you? You could bring average iq into the discussion, but the exact type of books one is interested in just depends on a lot more than basic intellegince (especially if you grew up in some shithole), so besides mentioning how the types of books they're interested in would, on average, coincide more with those that people with a low iq like to read, you can't really say much of anything

the people that particularly like that stuff are either just watching it because they can self-insert into it more easily (with the guy being black) or they're in it for the fetish aspect (and that's kind of weird regardless of whether you're black or not)
the jav stuff i saw, while a lot more racist, wasn't nearly as weird as some of the western stuff is imo

I work at a bookstore and I've seen ~6 come in, first 4 were couples. The first was a man and a woman and they asked where the religious lit was and then left after they didn't find anything. The second pair were two teens who knocked a bunch of shelves over and then tried taking money from the register when I went to go fix it. The other 2 were college girls who bought anti-racist feminist poetry or some shit.

for me it's the impregnation risk that makes it hot. and the humiliation that would result from the fact that everyone would blatantly know I'm not the father.

I've also taken public transit for most of my life and kind of agree with this, but
