Patapsco state park had open restrooms this weekend |
I’m white. I would never in a million years pee outside, nor would I let my kids. Never have, never will. It’s disgusting. But my skin color has nothing to do with it. |
Not even in an absolute emergency? |
Have you people really not learned anything the last few weeks? Because if you were black and seen peeing outside, someone would call the cops on you. That is why they ask. Because peeing in the woods is yet another thing that white people can safely do, and black people can't. |
I was at several state parks recently and they either had restrooms or port-a-potties available. The port-a-potties are gross but I had to go, so I used them, trying to hold my breath.
I also used gas station bathrooms, which were open. I just wore a mask and washed my hands (of course). |
Oh come off it. If you are going the bathroom someone where other people see you and can call the police then yes it is wrong. White people are arrested for public urination/indecent exposure all the time. If you go deep in the woods, no one cares. |
If you or your kids pee outside, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE skip wiping or carry out whatever you use to wipe. Do not leave toilet paper around. Even if you bury it, it's very likely an animal will dig it up or soil will erode and that nasty used tp will end up blowing around.
Backpackers have lots of tips for when you need to "go" in nature. Here's one https://bearfoottheory.com/backcountry-female-hygiene-tips/ |
It is this type of denial and defensiveness that everyone really needs to examine. |
I am a white nanny to 2 black children, I have them peeing in the park on a tree when we go out, they are almost 3 and 4. We do try to "hide", at least I impress it on the kids that we are "hiding", and we go to remotest places possible in the park, but naturally people see us sometimes, and we never encountered anything but smiles from those who see us. Kids just cannot hold it and its unhealthy and they should be able to do it if there are no bathrooms, as an emergency. I think dogs poop is disgusting, though, and so many owners do not pick up. And dog's urine smells horrible. |
What do you do if you go camping or backpacking and there aren’t bathrooms around? You just don’t go? |
Right? Everyone has to pee. I see a lot of Mexican families camped out fishing all day. A lot of the times the adults have some kind of alcohol. I never thought about it before, but I can only assume they pee in the woods. White people aren’t alone in this. |
If you’re in the woods you can go to the bathroom outside. Obv we do not leave any TP in the woods, we take it out. If anyone has to poop, they dig a hole, poop in it, and bury it. |
Oh. I totally took that as peeing outside is a trashy thing to do, so of course white people do it. I'd hope that anyone who opts to pee outside would do so discretely, which means unseen. |
I go to places where there are bathroom facilities. I need to be able to wash my hands, too. |
Np. I have a small bladder. I research the places I go to insure there's bathrooms. I can't hold my urine. If there was no other choice, I'd go outside, but I plan ahead always. Road trips are pretty much a no go. |
