My spouseAaron and I appeal to all for us to come together and to stand tall and united for everyone in order to return decency, equality, fairness, honesty, integrity, legitimacy and genuine concern to the corrupt, degraded, dishonest and deceitful USA government. Midterm elections to the Congress are scheduled for this upcoming November.
Pleasestart planning now to cast your vote in November. The time is needed to enact change and return compassion and dignity to the USA.
Let us all work together to rid ourselves of all the bigots, criminals, and felons from government! We need to restore hope in the hearts, minds and souls of us all!
Together we need to make a difference!
Thank you!
Stand tall and proud!
Before we dissolve ourselves and unravel completely, we need to pause for a moment and look where we are now. A nation, a people: divided and adrift. There is no longer a national example to inspire, to motivate and to persevere in guiding us all to resolve and to share.
The healing and the recovery need to happen and action needs to be soon! In exercising our duty to vote, we can try to make it start in November!
Naked hugs!

SGL, as repeatedly referenced here, is the anacronym for same gender love (bisexual or gay). SNL represents the popular USA television series: Saturday Night Live, a show that forcefully, hilariously and magnanimously ridicules and rebuffed the sorry state of affairs of American culture: actions, attitudes, beliefs, concepts, prejudices and values. Race Cooper confidently, defiantly and proudly does the same here for ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers!

Prelude:
“Canadian-to-his-core (soul)!” is an ideal description of loyalist Race Cooper, now retired SGL and nakedness adult film industry role model and star. Race Cooper is his professional (stage) name, his birth and legal name is Joseph Ross Anderson. He was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on 5 December 1973. He received his introduction into the US gay adult film industry as a casting director at the studio office and worked diligently for a number of years. Then, in 2009, at the tender age of 36 years old, he performed his first role in front of the camera and graciously offered his buttocks to the world!
While pursuing his growing popularity while acting, he simultaneously became an advocate for film actors regarding studio executives, management and film investors concerning gross racial and ethnic disparities in practices, roles, pay scale and other matters. In his time working at the studio, he observed discrimination and marginalization against Blacks, Hispanics and surprising, fellow gay employees!
The purpose of reminding everyone of the dire need of review of the discriminatory protocols some of our same gender loving (SGL) and nakedness cohorts in the adult film industry allow, through the observations of “industry insider” Race Cooper (one of our own community and culture) is that before we point fingers outward, we all need to look inward and ensure that we are on the platform of equality, freedom and justice. Our need for respect and understanding enables us to search for accountability and truth everywhere – even among ourselves!
We need the insight of our fellow bare practitioner, bare celebrity Race Cooper, to lead us from the darkness and into the light!
“Racismand discrimination take many forms and our focus and thoughts on racism, sexuality and nudity need to change.” ~ Joseph Ross Anderson (Race Cooper) The Pink News SGL News Service, London, UK, 10 June 2020
Race Cooper, interviewing for The Pink News, London, UK 10 June 2020
Footnote:Race could not appear fully nude for his interview. Instead, he conducted the session shirtless, as close to nakedness as possible!
The examination and exploration of the topic of “race” extends beyond the limited concepts of of just Black people and White people. It includes all of us, no matter our skin tone, ethnicity, or racial heritage. “Race,” unfortunately, is also aligned with community, culture, politics, religion and value systems.
Regrettably, racism (racial bigotry and/or hatred) is a “learned” (taught) behaviour passed from one generation to the next – often without any basis of proof or scientific fact. Unchallenged, it is frequently misunderstood as the “norm” (normal) – the regular routine standard.
My spouse, Aaron, and I both offer this posting in the hope of overcoming our need to be reminded of the importance of fact and reality in our lives.
Race Cooper, The Pink News
Introduction:
Joseph R. Anderson (Race Cooper) didn’t begin his film career until 2009 at the tender age of 36 years! An age when most openly bisexual or gay porn film actors are ready to retire from performing live! His acting career spanned a total of five years. He retired from the industry in 2014.
In the same year that he started live acting, after years in the studio’s casting office, Race started publicly blogging on blogger.com, promoting his acting career and sharing information about fellow porn stars and their preferences. He swiftly acquired notoriety as “a-man-who-tells-it-all!” He also began to encourage and endorse the expansion of the “alpha” (top-man) and the “beta” (bottom-man) SGL identities to include “versatility” (both traditional SGL sexual positions)!
Race Cooper: “the-man-who-tells-it-all!”
Vital Statistics:
Height: 6′ (183 cm)
Weight: 180 lbs. (82 kg)
Hair: head – shaved; body – armpit, pubic
Penis: 8″ (20 cm) circumcised
Sexuality: gay
Sexual position: versatile (preference: beta (bottom-man)
Clothing status: bare (naked,nude)
Porn Career: Mid-level management (casting); live (2009-2014)
Race Cooper: publicity pose (frontal)
“I’m an African-Canadian. Growing up in Toronto, I got to see how lots of White Americans reacted to Black people, from Canada or the USA. Working in gay pornography, I personally saw how Black men were treated by White men with no difference between gay or straight.” ~ Race Cooper ~ The Pink News 10 June 2020
Race, based on his own experience, views racism as “a daily constant in the USA.” He acknowledges that he – at first – was paid considerably less than his Caucasian colleagues and regularly and repeatedly had his work ethic and intelligence questioned. He honestly believes that he was only hired initially in order for the studios to appear “less racist.”
“Homophobia and racism in the USA is the reasoning for discrimination and prejudice. It is part of the legacy of institutionalized slavery. In Canada, race is just a difference. You shave your pubic hair, I let mine grow naturally. We’re both gay men,we’re justdifferent in some ways.” ~ Race Cooper ~ The Pink News 10 June 2020
Canada had slavery in the 1600s only. It was never a permanent social institution like in the USA. As a slave, you were bought, you worked a couple of years, earned your freedom and then you moved on. Like an indentured servant. Enslavement was never a source of distrust, mistreatment and hatred. You worked, earned freedom and then became a neighbour – equal -not inferiour or subserviant.
Race Cooper: another movie pose!
“As a Black gay man, I know and have witnessed bias, hatred and prejudice because of nakedness, race and sexual orientation. It is unfair and unjust. It is wrong. As a performer in the porn industry, I’ve never experienced criticism for being publicly or for being socially naked. But I do know of fellow nudists who are judged because of their nudity. Clothes freedom is part of who we are. Just like race and sexuality, we don’t have a choice.” ~ Race Cooper ~ The Pink News 10 June 2020
Race was interviewed by The Pink News, a SGL news service in London, England, United Kingdom on 10 June 2020 for his views on racial inequality in the bisexual or gay film profession in light of the killing of the late George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA and the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement. He also wants the porn industry to openly admit that many White men – straight – have been cast into roles catering to SGL African-American audiences instead of actual Black gay men.
As a path forward, he’d like to see studios hire “diversity mentors” to help with casting and hopefully these mentors could advance the careers of porn actorsof colour. He also advocates the ending of “gay-for-pay” and an immediate end to the shunning of HIV+ porn actors.
All of us welcome and embrace Race in full nakedness as a man of our community and culture! His attitude that true equality is a basic human right for us all is one we can all agree!
Our man who reveals all: Race Cooper!
Thank you, Race, for your honesty and integrity!
Naked hugs!

This is an announcement honouring the celebration of “good news” from our government legislators!
The U. S. House of Representatives, the lower chamber of the Congress, just passed the Marriage Equality Act. The U. S. Senate (the legislative upper chamber) approved the same measure several weeks earlier. It now is awaiting the signature of President Joseph Biden and then it officially becomes law. This legislation enacts the federal mandate that assures the complete recognition of all interracial marriages and all individual marriage equality unions throughout this country.
My spouse, Aaron, and I are an interracial couple. He’s African-Canadian and I’m Greek. We also are a same gender loving male couple. We were legally married in the Commonwealth of Virginia on August 15, 2015. Our marriage is now totally legal everywhere within this country!
Because of the U. S. Supreme Court’s reversal of its previous legalization of abortions this past June, this action by the Congress prevents an automatic reversal of the marriages of all same gender loving couples and of the marriages of all racially mixed marriages. Multiple Christian extremists organizations have threatened to implement judicial review of marriages, hoping for a “return” for supremacy of the conservative religious concept.
Aaron and I are dancing bare all day today!
Dancing for joy!
Naked hugs!

November 22, 1963: President John F. Kennedy Shot In Dallas, Texas, USA!
The headline above is not even a vague memory for me. I had not even been conceived when that event happened. The only memory that Twin and I have of that day are the recollections that our parents shared with us many years after the tragedy occurred.
Both our father and our mother were born in Greece and emigrated to the USA after the birth of our oldest brother. They lived here as resident aliens and neither of them were naturalized. They returned to Greece, their homeland, after our father retired from his job. All of our brothers returned with them except for Twin and myself.
John F. Kennedy inspired Papa as a presidential candidate and after he was elected into office. We do remember an enlarged photograph of our father addressing voters in our Greek Orthodox church parish hall urging them to support President Kennedy. Although neither of our parents were eligible to vote, Papa was an active supporter of Kennedy and the Democratic party within our Greek community.
Growing up, every year on November 22, we all recall our father’s lamenting his assassination and remembering the many reasons he admired the man. Many times we made family trips to visit Kennedy’s gravesite in Arlington National Cemetery.
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry planned for here is Friday, November 25, 2022, and the proposed topic is: “Interview: The Nubian-Ikigai!”
In the USA, as well as several other countries, today is designated National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. This is the event that empowers the African-American community to accept a major role in the prevention and treatment of HIV within not only its own community but throughout the world as well. The devastating impact of HIV on the communities of color here in the USA emphasized the need for definitive community action!
What is today observed as Black History Month in the USA had a very limited and a very inauspicious beginning. It began in 1926 when Carter G. Woodson, an African-American historian and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History designated the second week of the month of February as “Negro History Week.” This week was chosen because it generally coincided with Abraham Lincoln’s birthday on February 12 and of Frederick Douglass’ birthday on February 14. Both dates were celebrated in Black communities since the late 19th century.
Today is the official celebration of the birthday of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. – an internationally recognized pacifist, civil rights activist and a noteworthy humanitarian. Dr. King’s birthday is a nationally recognized holiday, the very first to honor an African-American, and the very first one to honor a renown man committed to the philosophy of peace. He is also a respected leader in the movement for racial equality.
This month, almost exactly the same day, President Barack Obama was retired from his office as chief executive of the United States. After eight years as this country’s leader, his term limit of eight years (two four-year terms) was officially over. Funny, but his length of service seemed to have flown by beyond the speed of light. Of course, we all know too much about the fool who replaced him.
Today, Sunday, December 1, 2019, is World AIDS Day all across our globe. It is the day when it is appropriate for all of us to wear a red ribbon – if a bare practitioner (naturist or nudist) such as my spouse, Aaron, and myself, paint a red ribbon – and proudly display to everyone you encounter that you recognize the importance and significance of the date. The quality of life living with HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) has improved but we do not have a cure – yet!
U.S. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy (JFK) was assassinated on November 22, 1963 – exactly fifty-six years ago today. Although his death was years before my own birth, he was the very first president of this country to publicly pose shirtless and without embarrassment or any shame. Even though he served barely three years as chief executive, his service is well known. He brought to the Oval Office the ideal of progress and exceptional service.
