Beat me to it.

I have spent a fair amount of time in my life in the GSMNP and I have yet to see any minority hanging from trees. Geez is race all these people thing about? They need to get a life. Oh and I don’t want any Hip Hop concerts in Cades Cove. The whole point of wilderness areas is quiet and solitude not urban chaos. If I want that I’ll spend a weekend exploring downtown Chicago.

>> Why is the NFL so black? <<

Maybe because blacks don’t do well enough in basketball?

Do you really think that the whites who frequent National Parks would welcome urban blacks?

Seen from the ‘hood, the Mt. Rainier glaciers look like huge cotton fields and if they show up, they’ll be forced to pick it all.

So they don’t go because it’s a racist atmosphere and it’s a racist atmosphere because they don’t go. I have to sit down now, I’m dizzy.

I doubt they even notice other tourists unless they are acting feral in the cafeteria or gift shop, then they might be unfriendly enough to get up and leave

Visiting a national park is not exactly a crowd encounter experience

But then they would need a free car to drive there, right? Because the optics of busing them would NOT be good...

Meanwhile in Oakland California a 60 year old white man out hiking in one of the regional parks there had an encounter with a couple of unfriendly blacks who immediately shot him dead.

That he was a liberal apologist for black criminality only adds a bit of irony to his tragic ending..shot and killed while out hiking the day before Thanksgiving.

I’ve been to The Grand Canyon & Yosemite and both were swarming with Germans...so they must be Nazis,...that’s it the Nazis are taking over our national parks!

Well then the racist zoning that stops the building of subway lines and bus stops from the inner city to Malibu and Yosemite needs to be changed!

Plus more folks need to be given cars. Electric and hybrid cars of course

We all know the national parks are full of unfriendly white people, right?

They're called Rangers.

Looking down at my skin. I have various shades of beige to almost yellow with green and purple where my veins are.

Correct. And I am sure that there are a number of wealthy minorities who visit National Parks, but it seems that the numbers do not match the numbers that some believe should be there based upon some kind of a statistical model.

Frankly, how would the Park service know how many people of any ethnicity are in a park? I do not recall completing an ethnicity survey when I visit National Parks. Are park rangers now running around asking people about their ethnic background?

What do you fear the most while in a park? A group of Rangers, a group of teenage European tourists, a group of teenage Asian tourists, or a group of teenage blacks, a group of bears, or a herd of bison?
