How come black people aren't adventurous and outdoorsy as white people?

Question

How come black people don't do skydiving, moutain climbing, capture crocodiles, dangerous stuff, etc. Is it the fact that our ancestors did the whole being chased by wild animals in the forest (against our will) thing? Maybe it so out of our system that we don't feel the need to be adventurous anymore?

Answer 1

Why should we go looking for danger when danger usually finds us?! Seriously, think about it. Many (not all) of us already live in dangerous situations. Sometimes just being Black is an "adventure" in and of itself. I think a lot of Black people have enough stress and adrenaline just trying to survive every day life; we don't need any added (and completely unnecessary) "adventures"! :)

Answer 2

What's fun about jumping out of an airplane? I mean, it's for transportation. And why would I try to capture crocodiles. They have never done anything to me. Why mountain climb? And get lost and frozen like a fish stick. Yeah real smart.

Answer 3

Look at your question again, and then think about it. No skydiving, why jump out of a perfectly good airplane? capture crocodiles. Why capture a croc, when all you want are the shoes? Shall I go on?

Answer 4

Is this a serious question? African Americans are adventures. We've migrated to many places. We have pursued education despite the many obstacles. We have not only learned to read despite the beatings, but some are authors. We are scientist, doctors, lawyers, inventors and entrepreneurs. Just because you don't see us climbing mountains, we are. We are flying airplanes and dodging the criticism in corporate offices. In regards to the crocodiles, I don't know too many Caucasians that are signing up to "catch a croc".

Answer 5

Ok, they arnt adventurous bc
1.When it starts to get dark out. no one will see them and the might get hit by a car or something.
2.Since it is white out during the whinter you may think that they could go snowboarding or something and people could see them easy. But thats worse bc if they r spotted my the many of racist white people today then they will b ran over or sumthn bad still.
3.They dont have money like. Alot of them dont work have you smelled them lately. They cant even afford frikkn soap =/
4.If you want them to be more adventurous then you have to get a bowl of fried chicken, some watermelon and orange soda..hide it and they will search for hours. Bc u no...black ppl like that kind of stuffs.
5. I have many more reasons but im just too lazy to type =/

Answer 6

Because we watch all those movies where White people get chased and fall down in the woods then get killed. We learned a lesson from them: stay outta the woods!

Answer 7

I'm adventurous and daring....so speak for yourself....I've been mountain climbing and it was exhilarating for me but maybe not for all.
But I put most of my energy in yoga and capeiora...
I know many outdoorsy blacks so generalizing a whole group it so invalid....

Answer 8

Us white people like to do crazy s hi t that gets us killed. ;)

To be honest, I see a fair amount of African Americans doing outdoorsy things from time to time. I don't think it's a race thing; it's just a people thing. Certain people like the idea of jumping off a plane and others don't.

Answer 9

Girl, please...Black people LOVE their lives and won't do anything to jeopardize that. There's no way in hell that we are going to go out there doing that crazy sh!t and FOR WHAT??? I bet you don't see black people getting killed by bungee jumping from some airplane getting splattered all over the earth, getting eaten up by a crocodile--finding our leg over here and head over there, or doing "Jackass" type of sh!t--which is why it's appropriately named. No, it has nothing to do with our ancestors having anything done to them--it just comes from common sense--something a lot of white people lack...

Answer 10

1. Because you can't do any that for free.
2. Black people dont generally risk thier lives for fun.
