You said that blacks moving from up north are afraid of the woods and that they made a mistake moving south.

That implies that there aren’t woods up north.

While it is certainly sensible that outdoor activities should be open to all citizens, trying to measure involvement by religion, gender, handedness, eye-dominance or racial background are bound to end up in socialist “planned outcome” territory.

Outside Magazine started out with a good approach back almost four decades ago. It soon turned to leftist drivel in almost every issue and became unreadable. The five year older “Backpacker” magazine was saved as Outside drove readers off with stupid emphasis on PC.

Don’t get me wrong, Backpacker is probably full of people with the same politics — they just have common sense and don’t let it get central in the articles.

I haven’t picked up or read an Outside magazine for twenty years and won’t now ever again.

What about elephant poachers? Are they all white? They’re outdoors.

I predict that Outside magazine will cease publication in the next couple of years.

Since when is Massachusetts the only “up north” state?

He’ll fix it alright. When you’re way out in the woods he’ll fix your car but good! LOL

FWIW I saw a pair of black dudes hunting during the black powder season in western Colorado. Once.

Lots of black people like the outdoors, mostly rural blacks in the South.

There were plenty of black cowboys.

It is partly an economic thing. Most people who spend time in wilderness are on the upper end of the economic scale.

Isn’t nighttime looting an outdoor activity?

When I was white and poor and living in some of the worst neighborhoods of Philly I couldn't afford to travel to a city park. A national or state park? Forget it! Has anyone noticed that Federal Parks, especially in the Northeast, are a tad **far** from the inner cities?

Now that I am a lot richer, still white ( Imagine that !), and have a car, I love the state and National Parks. Travel? No problem!

The Marxist doctrine of egalitarianism is rearing its ugly head. Identity politics is the root of this ideology. When will we look upon human beings for the content of their character and not God’s paint job? My answer: Because it is all about changing America into a godless Marxist state.

Come to think of it, not enough white dudes in the hood.
We need to set up a cultural exchange program.

What really scares me is that all the social justice safe space college kids we've been reading about for years, they've all been entering the job markets in droves and injecting their politics into everything they can.

It will get worse as they get older.

The 1960's dopers and bomb throwers who were the anarchists, America hatters and socialists of their day seemed like goofy idiots back then.

But they moved into politics, government, the education system, the mass media and other positions of influence.

Today they run the democrat party, the big cities, the big universities and many of the big corporations and charities.

They infest the judiciary, federal and state governments and every aspect of American life.

Now history is repeating itself with the Snowflake Generation.

The outlook is not sunny and bright.

If it ain’t The South - it’s “up north”.
