Chocolate Snowflake took me to catch a flick about Black surfers called ‘White Wash‘. As you might imagine the whole surfboard shit is some Black bullshit. Turns out Africans have been on some wave riding shit for a basically forever. It’s how the Africans got to Australia and subsequently how the Australians found themselves in the Pacific Islands.
Sure, Africans did everything first, but how the movie transported the sport or even the recreation of surfing to modern times was fascinating. Blacks always have a hard time doing shit because white doesn’t trust them. Would you? Eventually this white shit is gonna have to wind itself down and that includes watersports [ll] and conversely boardsports.
Snowboarding, skateboarding and surfboarding will all get taken over by Blacks as soon as Blacks get access to the mountainside, the halfpipe and the beach. Just look at Sal Masakela. That dude went and skipped the line and is even hosting shows and submitting commentary on boardsporting events. The idea I left the movie with is that eventually everything will belong to white so just have fun with it while you can.
here is another take on the subject (black surfers) set in Apartheid South Africa

crazy how everything has been stolen
just seen “attack the block” and now i know like you said they’ll never make that movie in america. spend good money on blacks and 1 white kid saving the sexy white girl in the hood, noway. but it was a good movie coped on the corner for 3 bucks.
i need to see this documentary. theres a decent amt of black skateboarders. shouts to the Dirty Ghetto Kids crew.
Its a economic reason blacks/latinos are not into snowboarding. That shit is
expensive. Lift tickets at mountains are like $80bucks a day.Plus lodging(||)
and getting ur ass(||) to the mountain(car,flight), weed,booze, food.
