Things, activities, an adult 'B' male cannot do while alone

Hiking or camping alone, while a black male in America



Hiking/Camping is a great past time for many, but you don't see very many adult black males doing so, and expecially if alone.

Can you imagine the fear in another eyes, if they're trail walking, say some typical granola bar eating suburbanite female type...



Now knowing how society is, how people are (be honest), can you imagine the fear this woman would get in her heart if approaching from other direction was a black male adult hiker...
She would instantly think something was wrong, here would be her thoughts.

1. Oh my gosh, is that guy really black?
2. What's that black guy doing out here?
3. Something doesn't feel right, they belong in the city, not out here.
4. Are they a fugitive on the run?
5. Oh my gosh, should I turn around and run?
6. Oh god, don't let this be my last day on Earth.
7. Where's me can of mace?
8. Where's my stick, gun, weapon?
9. Where's my cell phone?
10. OK, stay calm.

And a garuntee you, that lady would be on her cell phone in no time and here's what her call would be like...

1. Operator, get me the cops, there's a strange black man roaming out here in the woods and I think they're stalking people.

Operator - Where did you encounter them?

Lady - On a hiking trail, but something just didn't seem right, they looked me in my eyes as they approached

Operator - What were they doing?

Lady - I don't know, they were pretending like they were hiking, but something didn't feel right about it.


And so forth, and that's how trouble begins for an innocent black dude just trying to hike and enjoy nature by themselves, here come all the suspicions, all the calls made to Law enforcement, 911...then next thing you know cops show up, wanna see the black guys I.D., run a background check, question them and so forth.

Cop - What are you doing out here?

Black guy - Camping and hiking sir.

Cop - Mind if we search your tent?

Negative perception is a m/f, cause it's the reality others act on.

I use to hike, and camp, when younger and had 'white friends' around me, but now that older, I'd never think of going out into the woods alone as a male of color, not cause I'm bad, but rather out of fear of above scenerio happening.

Also many 'W' campers carry guns on them, fine, they're 'white', so get a pass from Park Ranger, but can you imagine a adult black male hiking, and having a gun on them, for protection against bears, cougars, snakes, ect, like white campers and hiker do, can you imagine how a park ranger would freak out, draw their gun, maybe shoot the black guy and of course we'd here ...'Officers report says black man had gun on them'...even if a BB gun it wouldn't matter, even if a squirt gun, it wouldn't matter



Yes even if black dude carrying a squirt gun, that would be justification enough to shoot the man, is how so trained society is to fear adult black males, even other black folks fear adult black males, sad to say, cause everyone trained by same 'media', brain don't know what color it is, so the same negative images that saturate a white or Asian persons mind, also saturates a black persons mind.

Anyways, this is just one activity I thought of first that you won't see adult black males doing alone, maybe in a group, with other campers, but for sure not alone, not in this day and age.

In a way, it's odd cause America is getting more racist now, again, than it was say in the 70's, or 80's, and I think it's do to social media, where people can spread bad info about others without fact checking.
Back in like the 70's, I do believe it was safer for a black dude to go camping alone, than it is now.

More examples to follow as time allows.

Shopping, while an adult black male, continues to be a very stressful activity, even in the year 2021

No matter a grocery store, Dollar store, department store, no matter, if an adult black male shopping can be one of the most stressful activities ever.

Let me explain some things, does crime and criminals exist?...of course, do people steal stuff, of course, but my point is, and writing this for, not the thieves and criminals, but rather for the say above 30, professionally employed male, whom Loss prevention security or cashier, regardless of their color, cannot seem to distinguish from sticky hand urban teenagers or high schoolers of gang banger types.

And that's the issue for mature adult black males, there is no distinction made between a mature adult black male and a 15 year old trouble maker.

If you walk into a store, after work, as a mature, say 35 year old black male, security, management, the cashiers, all assume you're straight off the streets or homeless, or fill in the blank with any thing negative, and they feel the only reason you've entered the store is to steal a candy bar, or some cookies, as a grown black male mind you.

Again, this racist society doesn't make maturity or class distinctions when if comes to black males...rather they, society, you, will lump a 55 year old Black Professor right along with a 19 year old in and out of jail felon type.

And with the sudden crime surge under Biden, it's even worse for mature, law abiding black males to go shopping, cause he may unkowingly enter a store to shop where hours earlier 3 younger males of color rushed the isles and stole what they could before running out.

Those in the store will just lump the older mature professional shopper right along with the younger juvenile thieves, where as whites aren't cast all the same by society, society can, and makes the distinction between a older mature white male, versus a younger juvenile skate boarder who acts rowdy.

It's a burden no one will understand unless a black male.

Yes, we all have burdens, regardless of color or ethnicity, but being profiled while shopping for sure doesn't spill over into other people, like maybe some other issues might.

As a black male, a responsible one, I just don't like going anywhere anymore, cause get lumped in with irresponsible street punks when I do.

Older white males don't have to face such scrutiney, in that older W males are never compared to teenager white males, with white males, and other ethnicities, it's assumed that when older you're more mature and better behaved.

But that doesn't seem to apply when considered black, when a black male, seems no matter how aged you get, you're still treated like, and reacted to, as if you're some street punk running around beating people like on You Tube.

It would be very easy for me to hate everyone on this planet for depriving me of my 'prime', instead of embrassing me while in my prime, society spent it's time being afraid of me, and for no good gdm reason.

I could easily get angry about that, when lessor types who actually are very bad, and white, have been embrassed by society.

All I know is it makes me no longer believe in a god or cosmic justice, seems what is, is simply what is and that's it.

I guess now you can add withdrawing large sums of money from bank, among the things adult 'B' males shouldn't do while alone



I don't blame the cops here, but I do blame the bank teller, or tellers, and even the management.
