“It’s estimated that by the year 2045, white people will be supplanted by a nonwhite majority,” Mills said. “So, what happens if a majority of the population has no affinity for nature? What happens if a majority of the population has no interest in preserving sustainable agriculture?”

Just let that sink in.

"...in addition to the years of outright exclusion from public spaces, African Americans must grapple with the country’s history of racial violence, namely the lynchings of Black people that took place around the turn of the century."

[al baby]

F that let them have the ghetto

[blueunicorn6]

Instead of bringing Americans of African Descent out of the cities and into national parks, why not bring national parks into the cities?

That’s the Democrat way!
