catbirdseat Posted January 14, 2003 Author Share Posted January 14, 2003 This was hashed out here last year. Here were the results: just wondering Indeed it was. I did a search, but it was flawed and I didn't find it. Thanks. Anyway, given the same topic, one seldom gets the same thoughts and opinions. There have been some interesting stories and observations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobBob Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 ChrisT, I was responding to minx, not you. 1) Trask you're comments are so stunningly offensive I can't believe you posted them publicly See? BTW, you know I only say nice things to you, in hopes of seeing more 'yoga' photos in future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I think Minx is on to something. Maybe a control would be in order. Take a sampling of blacks and whites who all had equal exposure from parents or roll models and then check out the results. I was born in a house built by a Whitaker. Pops hung with Hornbein and had Ome Daiber working on the house ... drove me to Alaska in a VW van for 6 weeks when I was 7. My girlfriend blames him for my addictions.

Alpine_Tom Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 (edited) middle child, of three. This is something I've thought about some. Before I got into climbing, my primary interest was bicycle racing, another lily-white sport. The only notable black guy I can think of in the sport was in the early 1900s, a famous racer named Major Taylor. (There was a track racer who was nationally prominent in the 1980's, Nelson Vails.) It does seem like sports/interests are fairly segregated. As I think about it, I don't think I've ever noticed a black kid down at the local skate park, or in the pages of the one or two skateboard magazines I've looked at. It could well be a lack of mentors, I suppose. My parents are the original non-outdoors types, but a guy I worked with (in a computer shop) got me interested. But if you tend to hang out with people of your own socio-economic group, and your socio-economic group tends not to climb/bicycle/skateboard, chances are, you won't take it up.

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Dunno if you still skate or not, but DFA was down at a skate park in PDX recently (contemplating re-entering the most injurious sport ever after years of hiatus), and there were plenty of black kids kickflippin' and 50-50ing. Seems the Doctor recalls a good few of our African-American brethren in the mags, too, although definitely not a huge percentage. Food for thought; not attackin' ya, FYI.
