Who's Really Left Out Of The CrossFit Circle
Last week, the headquarters for CrossFit, the popular — and polarizing — workout genre, shared an item on its Facebook page from a blog called Stuff Black People Don't Like.
And according to an entry from February on the Stuff Black People Don't Like blog, CrossFit is anti-black:
"Crossfit 'boxes' usually charge expensive membership fees and boast a mostly white clientele. A list of Crossfit Games champions and competitors reveals a veritable whitopia. In the past two years, the male and female champions have repeated. The male champion, the 'world's fittest man,' is a white Southerner that Django hasn't gotten around to killing yet, who indulges his white privilege every day by reading that racist and homophobic book, the Bible.
"The women's champion is even worse, an Icelandic native whose surname refers to a Northern European pagan deity (ipso facto proof of Nazism)."
