Maybe africans don't see the point of bouncing around on a giant elastic band

Nope. I love parasailing but that's the riskiest activity I'm willing to do.

I don't like heights and i would be to scared if the rope would break as well.
I find it hard enough walking over an overhead bridge let alone be doing bungee jumping.
Lol i have seen some bad pictures of people bungee jumping who have had accidents lets say.

Who gives a rats ass what your white colleagues do on their vacation.Crazy ass white folks can bungee jump all the hell they want ,thats their thing, you won't catch me doing that dumb shit ,i value my neck too much mate ,this strikes me as a case of what whitey does black folks must do it also does'nt matter how crazy or stupid it might be.I suggest that you get your white colleagues to invite you on one of their vacations next time then you can go bungee jump with them.

Yeah... white people scale mountains, bungee jump, paraglide then go home and watch frazier etc, us black people, ''just aren't into that kind of thing''
Meh.
Most things they do we just don't have the time or money to try en mass as they do, was the same with golf, tennis, F1 racing and so on until recently. Would give bungee jumping a go if I could stomach it... one thing I really want to do is para gliding/jumping, base jumping looks fun as well.

Yes indeed.
White folks are something but Black folks can be some strange mofos too.
I remember when I went down to Atlanta for a couple of months of work and did I hear about some madness or what. And it wasn't sports hobbies.
Black folks swinging, DL-ing, tossing salads and all kinds of strange things. And Black men renting themselves out etc, etc. And it's like these days, dancing on the pole is something to aspire to...
We're just as bad as they are these days, though I'm yet to hear about us going with animals.
It's like white folks invent sh*t and pass the envelope, and then we just grab that envelope and take it to a whole nutha level.

I'm always amused when black people play the race card to mask their fears when indeed 95% of what they have learned is usually straight from the white camp. Saying that white history is full of stealing raping and pillaging to the degree we automatically assume they came with certain things first when in fact they stole it and simply re-wrote the history book.
I aint bungee jumping a raas, not into the height thing for one and trusting someone to tie that rope on my behalf isn't gonna happen. I know nuff people used to feel the same about flying on a plane but at least there you aint the only one going down
