Ok.... let's try this again..... I am creating this forum for minority pilots to get together and trade experiences..... This is my second try @ this as the first thread was shut down by an RCU admin. Please post pics and vids of your favorite planes and let's see just how many of us there are!!!!!

Yes We are all the same... Yet, we are called MINORITIES...[X(]... I'm not a raciest at all, Its just very surprising to see back R/C pilots... I'm a member of a club here in St. Louis and of all the 60 to 70 members only about 5 or 6 of them are of the dark pigment... I get along fine with everyone and have not had any real problems... Ask yourself this, If you go to a club and most of the guys that are in that club are Black, and speak different, dress different, just have a different Swagger about them, wouldn't you feel a tad bit out of place? Eventually you'll get to know most of them and make friends, and once another white guy joins along with you, it will be comforting to know your not the only one... (I learned this in a magnet school mostly white)>... There are strength in numbers, where one person lacks 2 or 3 can make up for it... If you get into something and are not so sure you belong there, then another like you joins, then another... You'll feel alot more comfortable in that situation... So, this forum is not to be racist, or seperate... It's just to see who else (like me) is doing this besides me[8D]...

I dunno dude. All the guys I fly with are black and I am the only white guy. I have not gone looking for other honkies to fly with. The guys I fly with are my buds and I don't need to seek out like raced folks.

Now, if you want to start up something like OBAP (Organization of Black Airline Pilots) to promote the hobby to those that would not normally be exposed to it, then that is a great idea.



djnsayne -> RE: Black Rc Pilots of America (5/7/2008 7:56:46 PM)

lol @ honkies..... Do you really think that black people use that language in this day and age?.... I would bet that u have never flown with any black people and couldn't even name 3 black people that know who you are...... please if you have nothing positive to say or contribute, don't waste our time



T3beatz -> RE: Black Rc Pilots of America (5/7/2008 8:16:05 PM)

Ok, I understand what you are saying... but I'm also not looking for other black pilots to fly with nor did I say to go out and look for other black pilots to "fly with" I said "it is comforting to know that your not the only one"... Most of the guys at my field are older White males 40-80's some retired and I'm buds with mostly all of them... I'm 25 years old, I started flying 6 or 7 months ago... If I knew more, are had someone to come and take me to the field and show me how to fly I would have started along time ago, and not waisted my time and money on other stupid things I've done... I'm going to be real right now... If you go and ask most of the black guys that I grew up with would they be interested in flying they would say that they only thought white men fly R/C planes, Read a Mag, or go to an R/C Fly in what do you see? Just like Hockey, How many black guys do you know play Pro hockey? But if you get one that is black, good are bad skills, he stands out in the crowd, commended for either being good, ridiculed for being bad, But you will know about him because he is rare!

In order to get More black men in this Hobby they first have to Know about it, Then Learn about it, Then want to do it... the person who started this forum is not fighting for civil rights for black R/C pilots, He's just trying to say, "Hey I'm a black R/C pilot, I like to fly, I know there are not many like me in this hobby right now but if your out there Who are you and What got you into the hobby"?
Then you take that and build on it, you see what made them get into it and what they got out of it and use that as a tool to jump start a new following... The R/C industry should not care What color shape or size you are long as your buying the products... So with that said if I got 10 of my Caucasian friends, 10 of my black friends, 10 of my Hispanic friends, and 10 of my Asian friends to join this hobby Who does it benefit in the end? The AMA! which in return helps us all... Right? Me as a "PERSON" OR "HUMAN" would like to see more Minorities get into this hobby as a way of getting them off the streets and on to some fields!

T3beatz -> RE: Black Rc Pilots of America (5/7/2008 8:29:31 PM)

Insayne,
I would pick my fights and choose words wisely or they might trash this thread.... What alpapilot said was not Bad.... It was just said in ignorance....
You should welcome all to say what they will and what they think... Give them what they need....

Ignorance- is the condition of being uninformed or uneducated, lacking knowledge or information... The same way that Many black men act toward this hobby...

And what I said above is not positive and is ignorant?

Well put TJ!!!




djnsayne -> RE: Black Rc Pilots of America (5/7/2008 8:36:00 PM)

TJ,
He was clearly lying about flying with black people. I'm trying to do a positive thing and he was crapping on it. No need or time for ignorant people.



djnsayne -> RE: Black Rc Pilots of America (5/7/2008 8:42:54 PM)

Alpa,

One of the reasons that I started this thread was to expose this hobby to minorities. This means that those of us that are currently in the hobby need to share ideas about efficient ways of making that happen. However I do want to apologize for my previous post. Since you fly exclusively with black guys, you have already gone quite a way to my goal. Thank you



alpapilot -> RE: Black Rc Pilots of America (5/7/2008 8:48:52 PM)

What the he11 dude? First you say that I am lying then you congratulate me? Geesh!

Let's be real clear here. I think a SOCIAL club that promotes one race over the other is just plain wrong. However, an organization that promotes the HOBBY to a race that might not be as represented as another is an entirely different matter and I think that is a good thing.

I'm sorry....who said that black pilots where better than any others?

I did'nt say that it wasn't positive... it still would be going the same rout ... An Organization -is a SOCIAL arrangement which pursues collective goals, which controls its own performance, and which has a boundary separating it from its environment. The word itself is derived from the Greek word ὄργανον (organon) meaning tool.

and What do we to with Tools? Fix things.....



CopperheadAV -> RE: Black Rc Pilots of America (5/7/2008 9:07:00 PM)

Ok, you’re all dopy!! If the thread said chicks with big knockers who fly RC, I think the reply post would be slightly different. Why???? I don’t need to answer that. RC to me has always been to promote the sport / hobby. Let Djsayne promote it as if some chick with huge knockers would be promoting it!!!! Good God guys!!

I dont get any of this, but im sure someone will set me straight!

Wow. Just, wow.

I'm done with this. I now see this thread as the flame bait that it was obviously intended.



djnsayne -> RE: Black Rc Pilots of America (5/7/2008 9:17:17 PM)

Tim,

Thanks for the idea..... I would love to see more chicks with big knockers @ my field.


ps.... anyway that I could get a free Extra Woody plane.....I checked out that plane and it looks great!!!!



T3beatz -> RE: Black Rc Pilots of America (5/7/2008 9:25:14 PM)

Ok, actually I don't think it was flame bait... The reason it was started was stated at the top... The words that were chosen lead it to where it is now...




T3beatz -> RE: Black Rc Pilots of America (5/7/2008 9:28:57 PM)

I can use an Extra Woody Too! LOL... [:D]



Airbourne in Japan -> RE: Black Rc Pilots of America (5/7/2008 9:40:38 PM)

as a white Englishman living in Japan, i am in the reverse situation to black or Asian people etc living in the US or Europe. i'm in a very small minority as in most Asian countries there are not many foreigners, with the exception of a country which is mixed from colonialization like Malaysia or Singapore. i'm the only westerner in my rc club and some people are friendly and some are, according to my wife, very shy and don't speak to me, but i get a bad feeling about those people. i suppose my wife is right, because i'm probably the only foreigner they've ever spoken to. it's very funny for me because in the UK, there are large numbers of Asians and West Indians, either recent immigrants, or more likely their parents or grand parents and it's no big deal for most people except a few bigots. personally i love the diversity of the Earth and travelling to different places



STLPilot -> RE: Black Rc Pilots of America (5/7/2008 9:48:04 PM)

I co-founded a company out here in the NYC metro area that teaches kids about the hobby, starting at age 5 and goes to middle school. I think it's fair to say that a large percentage of the kids enrolled in the program are minorities. While rubber power is the main powerplant the kids use, we give them RC demos and watch videos in RC so when they leave the program, they know what's coming next.

We didn't invent the concept, we just turned it into a business. However we do offer our program manual and plenty of pointers for anyone that want's to take this venture on for themselves locally ... it's just a matter of doing it. Personally I would like to see more minority pilots, because frankly they are just more fun, plain and simple. White Americans are just ... boring and yes I'm white, but that's why I like to hang out with guys like Henry and Spiro from FlyingThingZ.



CopperheadAV -> RE: Black Rc Pilots of America (5/7/2008 10:07:44 PM)

Instead of welcoming African Americans who want to fly, we reduced this thread to the lowest common denominator. Congratulations!!!!!
