The goal is to constrain whitey, not encourage blacks to take advantage of their opportunities.
not everyone feels the same ease in entering the outdoors,”
= = =
I do not feel ease outdoors at night in a dark alley, or even on the street.
Uh, the sign is dumb as a rock?
I have a better idea, “Many National Parks are hundreds of miles from large cities”.
Lets just declare Chicago, Detroit, Southeast L.A., Compton, Ca, St. Louis, Mo, Baltimore, Md., etc, etc. National Parks.
Then they could visit or stay in a national park that is their natural environment.
There are only a few ways to deal with this glaring injustice:
Those small changes should quickly curtail much of the white privlege that is at the root of this unacceptable race-based inequity.

Outdoor Afro. These great people are all outdoors enjoying everything life has to offer!
Outdoor Afro is a community that reconnects African-Americans with natural spaces and one another through recreational activities such as camping, hiking, biking, birding, fishing, gardening, skiing and more!
We use social media to create interest communities, events, and to help shift the visual representation of who gets outdoors. Here is where you can start locally connecting with people who share your outdoor interests and aspirations!
No, that sounds like reverse cultural appropriation, or something.
There seems to be empty space between most Millenialtards craniums.
Maybe the young black democrat “yutes” are too busy raping and robbing whites in the big city??? Most of that is done outdoors.....
Check the high school biology and rock hound clubs... That is one place it begins...
I belong to several “nature clubs” and black members are highly coveted.
I have recently returned from the Texas Master Naturalists state meeting and only one black member was present. He and I were side by side through over 7 hours of geology related lectures. I wanted to ask him what we had to do to get more blacks involved but since we had just met, I chose to wait until I know him a bit better.
We also have a black youth group in Bell County that our local Master Naturalists group is spending a lot of time with. We have two events this month with them. One is educational and the other is a guided hike in a local state park. Parents are encouraged to attend with the kids.
Outdoor activities such as camping and natural history has not been a big part of the black culture and unfortunately it is also being replaced in the white culture by electronic toys.
Outdoor clubs are too white? Gee. I have hiked and gone birding in most of the states between the East coast and the West one. I have rarely, very rarely, seen any black birders. That is a fact, that is not some imagined figure. I have gone on many nature cruises, such as whale watching, and there were also barely any blacks aboard. Seems that nature isn’t a hot ticket item for them, which is fine. Then don’t go and accuse outdoor clubs of being “too white”, unless you want to be LAUGHED AT.
Satire becomes truth.......; )
"...black members are highly coveted..."
Dude. Really? Being trapped in a vacuum has done that. Color? No.
Getting more people out of their holes in the city would solve a whole host of problems.
Dude, yeah really.
Because the Africans, everywhere in the world, act so wonderfully.
Go pawn your BS somewhere else. Im not interested.
You’re the douchebag who wrote to me.
I've been an "outdoorsman" my entire life and you don't need to be in a national park to do it.
In fact I would bet the vast majority of "outdoorsy" stuff doesn't take place in a NP.
I visited some NPs 40 yrs ago and that's it.
Very few blacks and not a whole lot of Caucasians like being in the woods.
Yes.
Yes it does.
Generations of blacks have learned that you get what you want by demanding that the government give it to you ... at someone else's expense. THAT is the lasting lesson of the so-called "civil rights" movement.
