#29. The Great Outdoors

Black people are the most interesting subject matter, not just in the United State, but on earth. Today's posting will justify that claim.

It has been hypothesized that all human life evolved out of Africa, but the lack of development in that continent throughout human history and Black people living there - until the age of European colonization - would seem to be enough proof in itself that the "Out of Africa" is a farce.

More so, Black people were for most of their existence in Africa, living as one with the wilderness on the Dark Continent. The Great Outdoors of Africa was where Black people found communion and harmony, never reaching past the incredible technological advances of the mud-hut for a home (Black people also found fermenting alcohol quite difficult).

Living for centuries in The Great Outdoors must be why Black people find them to be such a revolting vacation get-a-way in the United States.

Black people have rejected their past and the evolutionary struggle for life they endured in the wilderness and account for less than one percent of all visitors to Yosemite National Park:

"Less than 1 percent of the visitors to Yosemite are African American, a number he's eager to improve.

"It's bigger than just African Americans not visiting national parks. It's a disassociation from the natural world," said (Shelton) Johnson, who has worked in Yosemite for the past 15 of his 22 years in the Park Service. "I think it is, in part, a memory of the horrible things that were done to us in rural America."

The rejection of the natural world by the black community, he said, is a scar left over from slavery."

Mr. Johnson is wrong. It is not a scar left over from slavery, it is Black people rejecting their historical past of being one with nature. Nothing more. Nothing less.

National Parks were largely the creation of white people who cared about nature, and Black people find no need to help preserve anything has to do with white people, like Pre-Obama America.

States like Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and Montana are all devoid of the advantages of diversity and Black people, primarily due to "The Great Outdoor" mentality that flows through the minds of those states' citizens.

Take Boise, one of the fittest and whitest cities in America (they always pass on seconds there). The city is replete with mountains to climbs, parks, rivers and great outdoor activities. It also lacks Black people.

Interestingly, "The Great Outdoors" is also the name of a John Hughes film, and as we have learned, his films lack Black people (the movie showcases white families in the blissful camp setting and explicitly shows the joy and bliss of Pre-Obama America).

The Great Outdoors is for rugged, pioneering types, who lack empathy for urban jungles and find solace in the solitude of harsher climates and starry skies. "Roughing it"is the antithesis of "keeping it real" the unofficial motto of Black people.

Black people know their history. It was white people who took this relatively uninhabited land from a few Indians tribe and carved a nation that is the envy of the world. It was white men who understood the Manifest Destiny for their people to create a republic for their progeny from sea to shining sea.

But that was so Pre-Obama America. The progeny of those men are happily giving the nation their ancestors built away, and the Obama Destiny now is firmly in place.

Stuff Black People Don't Like includes The Great Outdoors, for Black people lived among the African wilderness for eons and never accomplished feats greater than the impermanent city made of mud.

It is in places that still embrace The Great Outdoors that Pre-Obama America still thrives and it is in these places that will arise the challenge to The Age of Obama and give birth to the restoration of a mindset that once dominated Western Man.

And thus, it is why The Great Outdoors is included in the annals of SBPDL. Caring about nature, after all, is perceived as a white thing.
