I am developing a theory which addresses the abscene of Black people in extreme sports such as: mountaineering, surfing,base jumping, survivalist comptitions, etc.
Several books on the mental and spiritual condition of such athletes refer to portions of the brain that thrive on the rush of fear/exhilleration that participation in such activities produce....my wife and I (both Black Americans) are trying to determine why (not counting the financial aspects that such sports require) aren't Black peole attracted to such extreme adventures? We are exploring the idea that while most peoples of color around the world seek to live in harmony with nature and those around them, European/White people may have a genetic (more so thn cultural) predisposition to rule and have conquest over their surroundings. Do European/White people have a god complex? Any thoughts are appreciated.
