Black People Don’t Like Winter Sports

Yes, it’s cold outside when you participate in winter sports, which probably is why the myth continues to grow. But professionally and leisurely, Blacks are taking to the slopes to ski, ice skate, you name it. Shani Davis is a Winter Olympics gold medalist in speed skating. He was one of 19 Blacks from America, the Caribbean or Africa who participated in the 2014 Games in Sochi. Recreationally, almost every major city has a Black ski club. There is a national Black Ski Summit yearly at different resorts, too.

Blacks Don’t Skydive

Considered an extreme sport, the notion for years has been that skydiving was reserved for everyone other than African-Americans, who purportedly avoid dangerous activities. Not true. Increasingly, Blacks are venturing to the drop zone and making the leap — for sport and for the thrill of it. There are even Internet groups dedicated to Black skydivers. In February, actor Will Smith went skydiving with his sons in Dubai. “I jumped with Trey and Jaden today” Smith said at the time. “I kept thinking to myself, this potentially may be the individual worst display of parenting in African-American history.” 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
