During this period, large amounts of stereotypes existed around African Americans, many, also sexual. Racist ideas were held like that black men were considered to be animalistic and unable to control their sexual urges, which made having a romantic relationship with a black man, especially as a white woman, extremely taboo.

Many kinks surrounding black men specifically, like many kinks, are rooted in older taboos, which are now gone.
