Yes, there is a noticeable black/white cultural difference when it comes to the great outdoors. This has been discussed for years with regard to the national parks. Black attendance lags badly compared to overall population statistics. People tend to get the national park habit because they were taken to the parks by their parents and grew up thinking it was a natural and fun thing to do. One can understand all the historical reasons why black families were late to this particular game. But the door is open. Stop complaining and just go. Does it really take a government grant and a social worker to hold them by the hand to get a black family to Yellowstone?
Of course, a 70 percent illegitimacy rate will tend to depress things like park attendance as well.
Some of the old boys I met in Nags Head were there for the fishing.
One black gentlemen, probably about 70, had been fishing there for twenty years. It was interesting. During the day when the fishing was poor, the beaches were filled with vacationing beach goers. At dusk, the locals from further in land (black and white) showed up to fish.
I’ve seen more Chinese visiting our National Parks than black people. I did see one black family at Yellowstone several years ago, and a black man working in the park store.
I’m a dark skinned guy and I’m starting to get more into the outdoors, not one is stopping them get up and go lol.
Yes.
Yes it does.
Generations of blacks have learned that you get what you want by demanding that the government give it to you ... at someone else's expense. THAT is the lasting lesson of the so-called "civil rights" movement.
