This the LAST Interview I did for my blog. I still happened to have the manuscript and I'm sharing exclusively with the Coli. For who don't know Stefhen Bryan is a Jamaican born author who wrote the book "Black Passenger, Yellow Cabs" which is a Memoir of life in Asia more specifically Japan. He goes in detail about his sexual exploits, his fetish for Asian women and the status of black men the world over. I would love you hear your honest feedback on this interview. I will break this interview into 2 parts; one big and one really small. My questions are in italics and Bryan's answers are in bold. I hope you won't be too turned off by some of the spelling errors.Enjoy!
Poverty. Racial suicide. Sex addiction. An untypical escape from a dangerous seething slum of Kingston Jamaica to a far east and a pressure cooker cauldron like society of Japan where success is the only imperative. A Desire of mixed race children. Issues of fetishism and self rejection. All this and much, much more is covered in the 372 page memoir by "Black Passenger, Yellow Cabs: Of Exile And Excess In Japan" by Stefhen F. Bryan. In his first 8 years in Japan he bedded dozens of highly attractive Japanese women. Of course is way more complicated that it sounds. To get a clear picture of what I mean take a look at this interview I did with Stefhen.
So after four years what has been the response to "Black passengers, Yellow Cabs"?
The response has been extremely positive mostly. 120 five and four star reviews on amazon worldwide. Though sales have died down somewhat, I'm confident there will be a revival once the solo performance based on the book is debuted.
Did you speaking Japanese before moving to Japan?
Not one single word. I ZERO interest in japan before moving there.
You describe Japan as a "pressure cook society". Do you think that intense pressure is one of the reasons Japan has been so successful as economic power when it has no real natural resources?
Absolutely! the people in Japanese society are obsessive and unified about everything they do: from imitating rap and reggae to building a world class economy, failure is just not an option. actually, suicide is a better option than failure, to the japanese.
You say both Black and White men have a high sexual capital in Japan. Why do you think that' the case?
I answer this question in my book.
How big is Black culture in Japan?
Huge. African-American and Jamaican culture are very popular in japan, especially African-American culture, from hip hop to R&B to gospel, to braids, dreads, popping and locking, very very popular.
In your book you said that back in your parish in Jamaica, east Asian ran most of the businesses. I notice growing up that Koreans own many of the businesses predominantly Black areas. Globally speaking why do you think so many Asian have an economic foot hold in Black areas?
Because they're economic opportunists. Look at the Chinese presence in africa today. They are willing to go where they can make money.
In the book you talk about the "hybrid vigor theory" that eludes to mixed race people being more attractive on average that monoracial people. Where do you thin the validity lies in that theory? Do you think is factual or more peception than anything else?
Not sure if you meant to use the word "elude," but in answering this question, this had been my perception from childhood, only to be validated by studies in genetics. professor Alon Ziv wrote an amazing book on the hybrid vigor phenomenon. its called breeding between the lines.
Do you have any attraction to Black women at all?
There are attractive women in every race. It's just that my preference is yellow. I want half black half yellow children.
What was you experience with Black women in states when you live in LA?
I have only been intimate with 3 African-American women. When i lived in the UK I dated many many African women and women of African descent, but in America, cultural incompatibility has kept me away from African-American women.
Do you think the strong attraction that so many Black men have of non is just hangover from colonialism and slavery?
It may well be that, given a negative perception of our own race and give our negative experiences, many black men date outside our race, thinking it would improve the life chances of our children. That is most definitely the case with me. Im not preaching to anyone to date interracially thats just what I want for MY children.
A lot Black men have a rep for dating down considerably when they women of other races, especially White women. How did you dodge that trap?
Yeah, I was caught in that trap for a minute. It comes from self-hate and seeing anything thats not black as attractive. At the time I had ZERO TO THE INFINITE POWER confidence, non existing self esteem and terrible self image, thinking I was just black and ugly. But I started college at 22 and became very popular on campus. I ran for student senate, and found that people liked me. then everyone suggested that I run for vp and i did and won. then I became president of student govnt. the involvement in these activities worked wonders for my self-esteem and my confidence.
Of course I started psychotherapy when i started college. having no self confidence and a negative self esteem, I was chronically shy and socially inept, like those people who are japanophiles and love manga and anime, and in fact, like most people in Japan. my personality was exactly like the typical Japanese: diffident, shy and socially retarded. so all those positive experiences at the beginning of my college career, changed my personality and I became extroverted.
I learn how to communicate and hold a conversation and to make people, especially women laugh. then i started getting attention from hyper beautiful white women and I never went fat and ugly again. Of course, I also wore braces when i was 22, and that changed my face and changed my perception of myself. braces did improve my looks.
Why you think so many brother tend to date down when they date out?In the book you articulate some tense moments in your teens with African Americans while living in Denver. Why do you think sometimes there are the tense relations between Black Americans and Caribbean people?
Low self esteem, low self confidence, high self hate and the perception that even a fat ugly white woman in a wheelchair is better than a black woman. I was once there.
Many would have loved to be in the position you were in but you were driven buy sex addiction not a need to feed your ego or wild oats? How did you come to conclusion you were a sex addict?
I knew I was an addict since the first time I was introduced to sex at 7. i suffered from depression and suicidal idealizations since I was 4, and sex was the only thing that made me happy. and yes, I had no desire to sire children. I would've had 15 by now if I had such desires.
Most sex addicts will have sex with anyone yet you chose mostly women of East Asia decent. Are there various psychological configurations to the preferences of sex addicts?
In the past, I have had lots of sex with non East Asian women, mostly white women. In fact, as I wrote in my book, there was one blonde whom I impregnated 3 times in six months.
What did it take for you to gain control over your condition?
I simply got older and my libido reduced. Most men would freak out, I welcome my reduced sex drive with open arms.
The tense relations are not just between african americans and caribbean people, but in general between african americans and africans from other parts of the african diaspora and from the continent. thats because, among all the diasporic africans, african americans are the furthest removed.
I read his book-its not only about pu$$y but extremely interesting observation on Japan. It seems first world but lacks social safety nets so grinding 3rd world type poverty exists everywhere. Single mothers often go hungry and even starve! Also sexual abuse is distressingly common while a huge number of females,maybe the majority are neglected. His book should be made into a a movie,at the least an adult anime.
. I know its a late response just seeing it today though.
. You just did the same thing you accuse me of quite funny. I'm telling the truth to me and disagree with you in this darkskin chick shyt period. You don't agree fukk it but that's what it is.
