This looks like an inlet into gun owning infringement... then again democrats are still demanding blacks drop guns.

All you talking head TV types, all you writers of
outdoor recreation subjects, and all others who
have ‘made it’ and bemoan the lack of diversity
should step aside and allow diversity victims
an opportunity. That would be an ideal place to
start.

I live in Georgia, and I have observed the blacks moving here from up north, and many of them are virtually afraid of the woods. They don’t like to buy houses near the woods.

Many of them have every tree in their yards cut down.

You reminded me:

GENTEEL CHICAGO SUBURB RAGES OVER MR. T'S TREE MASSACRE, and
Chicago’s Mr T Outrages After Tree Cutting Near Home – A Look Back

Back in 1987, Mr. T (actual name Lawrence Tureaud) purchased an estate in Lake Forest IL, and soon after taking possession proceeded to chop down around 100 old oak trees on the property, which "outraged" his neighbors and — seemingly — the rest of the world.

Construction outdoors and pouring cement and bricks are being done legally and illegally by who?

Hint, not lots of white guys.

Reminds me of when I was heavily into scuba diving. Only black person I ever saw on a dive boat in the US was a chick from the Caribbean with a British accent.

Does “Outside” propose preventing “white dudes” from going outdoors, or do they prefer forcing non-white non-dudes to go outside?

Wow! We should have such skin tone checkpoints at our Mount Rainier National Park and the Olympic National Park. It would increase the hiring of park rangers! /sarc.

I didn’t realize that people that choose to be outdoors enthusiasts do so based on race. That thinking is so obama era... get over it.

I think blacks do a lot of fishing. Although it’s usually off a bridge in the downtown area.

I’m so old I remember a time in America when you could go entire days and weeks without hearing or reading about someone whining over race.....

Not so sure urban folks hanker for the woods. Will they be bused in like the schools did?

I went to UW and spent a great deal of time backpacking both rainier and olympic. Based on my memory, They may not have had the checkpoints back in the day, but those high melanin types definitely knew better than go out and like enjoy nature and stuff.

Come to think of it, not enough white dudes in the hood. We need to set up a cultural exchange program.

No way! The hood is too dangerous. I'll take my chances with Grizzlies, mountain lions and angry moose (and squirrel).

I used to live in Michigan with tons of outdoor opportunities, mostly in the north. I don’t remember the actual numbers, but the number of minorities who ever traveled north was staggeringly low.

And we would deserve it. :)

I do know a few Black people who fish but they do it from the bank rather then from a boat. I don't know any who hunt although, oddly enough, I do know one who traps.

On the other hand I know few American Indians who do not fish and hunt.

It is a culture things and why are we trying to change people's culture? I thought that was a bad thing. Or it was yesterday.

If you live in a slum, the last thing you want to do is go camping.

Quick! Affirmative action candidates needed. No qualifications needed. Must not be White Christian males in possession of all original equipment.
