I'd guess that African-Americans don't like camping because heading out into the middle of nowhere where the folks are very white and very odd and very armed might be a little scary.

It's scary for everyone. Something I learned when I was having a party at my cabin in the woods and the morning after some of the hungover people from that party opened the door and was greeted by two guys with shotguns who politely asked if they could borrow our trap so they could go skeet shooting.

So is this "African-Americans don't like camping" thing a real story or something Tinsley made up from a hazy recollection of watching a stand up special while blitzed?

Anyways, camping is pretty cool when done right, and avocados are awesome. The again, I also enjoy political cartoons.

It's been discussed in outdoor recreation studies for some time now, Drunk Duck probably just happened across it now.

What it boils down to is black slaves and laborers worked in terrible conditions outdoors, so pursuing recreation in a similar setting wouldn't have made any sense. Then just like many other paces, there was segregation during the Jim Crow Era in National Parks. Interest in things like camping tends to be learned as children, so that nostalgia factor doesn't exist. And now, they're not only facing massive crowds of white people, but there's a definite sense of elitism that exists within the subculture, plus gear tends to be expensive. Add all those together, and no, camping doesn't seem like much fun.

Edit: Here's an article from March 23 in MarketWatch. Maybe he saw it.

Unless you mean "March 23rd 1994" I seriously doubt it given the rants about torn jeans and bottled water that preceded this "I hate black people!!!" ejaculation.

Unless Tinsley just discovered that racist and disgusting "ghetto hikes" Twitter account, that seems the kind of "fwd fwd fwd" poo poo that would be right up his alley.

What the gently caress? What the gently caress? What the gently caress?

Does Varvel even read the news? Does he think the Syrians who were just gassed were Christians? But that's not Egypt, it's Syria. :psyduck:

If Varvel happens to be reading this, CHRISTIANS AREN'T PERSECUTED FOR THEIR FAITH, YOU DUMB gently caress. That's MUSLIMS. You're thinking of MUSLIMS. You know, like, the people who live in Egypt? The country you're referencing? That you apparently know nothing about? :psyboom:

I don't know if you heard about this "persecuted Egyptian Christians" bullshit on Breitbart, or from your mom, or from your church (Southern Baptist, I presume?) but whoever it is, loving :sever:. There aren't any Christians in the Middle East! That's why Republicans wouldn't give a poo poo if everyone there died!

...Varvel's not one of the people like Garrison who's done a PizzaGate cartoon, is he? This is on that same level of nuts.

Christianity originated in the Middle East and has been a fairly significant presence there ever since, even if it is a numerical minority in the last several centuries.

And yes, Christians are perscuted in parts the Middle East, you know, like the violence under ISIS which the UN has classified as a genocide?

There are Christians who are tortured, murdered and imprisoned for their faith. And no, that doesn't mean angry people from the States complaining about coffee cups or whatever, people are are literally attacked in the third world because of what they believe.

Jesus gently caress you colossal idiot. Copts have been persecuted into near oblivion in Egypt in the last half-century or so; to a greater extent than has happened since the original Arab Conquests of Egypt some 1200+ years ago. Whether it means being targeted by random acts of violence or by institutional government oppression there is a reason that Copts are only ~10% of Egypt's population but make up nearly half of the Egyptian diaspora abroad.
