Black Man Hiking

[Disney]

What happens when a Blair Underwood tries to take a simple hike. This is absolutely hilarious. It's not racist or offensive, it's just funny.

"You need to get out of your bubble....


Too funny.

They call where I live (with its whiter than wonder bread feel at time..) "The Boulder Bubble"..

[kanga]

lmao! that's great!

[Hooch]

Dat's funny stuff, yo. Word up.

[bigcranky]

That was funny and all too true, at least when I've been hiking.

Teej, yes, the scout in Up appeared to have Asian features.

[white_russian]

funny but true, i can count on one hand the number of black hikers i have seen.

I've only ever met ONE black guy while hiking. Maybe love for hiking is a genetic abnormality that only white people get...

er...no.



She put up with me for three months, but that's another story. (She wanted to move back East and wanted to raise any children Catholic..hell no!)

I've said it before, I think the idea of outdoor recreation is related more to socio-economic status and education (college educated, middle class) than ethnic and racial backgrounds.

But, that's another, much more complex discussion.

Since this is a humor thread....white guilt = excellent service in college towns like Boulder!

Could be true, actually. That makes sense. For some reason, black people (maybe everyone, I don't know) who've experienced poverty on any level (even distantly, family members even several generations back) think it is strange and even sometimes elitist for people to essentially pretend to be homeless.

Come to think of it, the only black hikers I've known have been in a higher middleclass economic status.

Which I find interesting, because you find a fair amount of lower economic white hikers (especially with this economy).

I still think hiking is a genetic abnormality. Something on my 29th chromosome went berserk, and now I love sleeping outside, in the rain, hiking 'till my whole body hurts and eating pasta for ever. (Like a quote from a movie, or book, I don't remember. Going to totally mess this up, but: guy talking to parachutists/sky divers "Don't be stupid". "Stupid? You're talking to a bunch of guys who jump out of a perfectly good plane.")

[Mags]

and eating pasta for ever.

No in my family (besides me) goes outside to play..

For some odd reason, we have a long history of eating macaroni however...

[Flush2wice]

That's fake. The white hikers would all have trekking poles.

[kayak karl]

i ran into this guy on the trail. we had the same coversation as the vid. it turned out he knew a hiker i just met. (sorry for the bad lighting)


OT "06 and Gary

[Walkie Talkie]

In the winter he plays hockey.

[Cheers]

I met a dude in 04 at Neels Gap, then again in the Smokies, ex military i think. S'no big deal for me as i come from London, but i could see why people might be taken aback by seeing a black dude on the trail. Thanks for the link, it was great!

Cheers

[Cabin Fever]

He's not a hiker. He had on a cotton t-shirt.

[TOW]

Very Funny!

[Manwich]

I don't get it...

[atsent]

True. I've only seen ONE on my entire SOBO. We wondered about that a hundred times.

[lazy river road]
