And honestly, the answer is pretty black and white. The myth of the untouched wilderness/frontier/manifest destiny, whatever you wanna call it, is exactly that. A myth. The outdoors as we know and love and take beautiful photos in, stands on a legacy of violence, racism and discrimination. Before we can ever even talk about why more Black people aren’t out there, we have to acknowledge that we all live on stolen land. It’s only through warfare and the forced removal of the Indigenous peoples who had their rights to it stripped away, are we even able to enjoy them as we do now. Nature has been one of the biggest catalysts of healing for me and it’s why I put so much emphasis on getting black and brown womxn out there. Nature heals and we should ALL feel welcomed there. It’s always a kicker to me when white people look at me like a foreigner on the trails when I look more like the people who the trails actually belong to! To be a consumer of nature one must acknowledge the atrocities that led us to this point. One must acknowledge that they weren’t made for us. That they were once dangerous for us. And even more recently, for me, that the national park i grew up hours away from was one of the last national parks to desegregate in the country. It makes complete sense why i and many others would grow up with the notion that enjoying the outdoors were white people activities. Because we were taught to not enjoy them through a whitewashed history. Did you know that some of the first park rangers were black - Buffalo Soldiers? Most wouldn’t know unless they were looking for it. That’s why we started the racism in the outdoors series for @hikeclerb so that we can breakdown these stereotypes that are still upheld in the outdoors to educate us on how we’ve gotten to the point we are today. Swipe through for some facts. We have to decolonize our minds and question EVERY DAMN THING until we dismantle this system once and for all." - HOKA Fan @evemeetswest」7月24日 1時38分
