"The ABC News piece warned that "America's national parks face (an) existential crisis over race," sounding the alarm that the nation's "premier outdoor spaces...remain overwhelmingly white.""

We need to institute busing of people out of the hood, and into the wilderness. Let’s see how that works....

The wilderness would be a whole lot wilder.

Not enough crime. Camping is one of the few activities where you can trust people, and leave camp gear out while you are gone all day.

The National Park Service has been frustrated for decades by underutilization of the national parks by minorities, especially blacks. I imagine that Hispanics also are underrepresented, but I haven't heard the same level of open concern. So: this is not a new issue.

The NPS has done everything it can think of to boost black attendance, and if you happen to be a young American of the African American persuasion with a reasonable education and no criminal record, the NPS would LOVE to hire you. There is a big affirmative action thumb on the scale on hiring and promotions.

The problem is cultural and that resists easy remedy. Single parent families are also a factor; mom and dad taking the kids to Yellowstone breaks down when dad is an anonymous sperm donor.

Snow is so white—it is a climate racial crisis!

“Joel Pannell, associated director of the Sierra Club told ABC, “The outdoors and public lands suffer from the same systemic racism that the rest of our society does.”

What sick bastards. So now it’s racist to visit a National Park.

They can all go to hell.

This is just a prelude and a warped justification for global marxists to take land away from Americans just as they are using a bunch of brainwashed idiots to destroy our culture.

A few years back, there was an article from some SJW who claimed that blacks don’t visit National Forests because the parks are full of tree, and trees remind blacks of lynchings

And it wasn’t a satire piece

[Troublemaker]

More racist white liberals that think we can’t figure anything out.

Kinda off topic but here goes nothing.

I’ve been on the Crazy Horse volksmarch many times.

In every volksmarch I was always struck by the fact that there were very few Lakota marching.

Supposed to be a monument to them but only the token few attended.

I’ve spent many hours watching it over the years. it’s always interesting!

Curb feelers wouldn’t help at the Grand Canyon.

[golux]

Excellent observation.

Time to say goodbye to that, privileged camper with too much stuff!

If only the black bears could save us.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The left will never be happy until every public space in America is ghettoized and filled with trash and hip-hop 24/7.

The National Parks have always been open to everyone. Since when haven't they?

Well, they've got a lot of wilderness in Canada... Just sayin'.

We were watching a video of bears catching and eating fish and my 8 year old grandson Brady said “Grandpa, they must be really hungry because they don’t clean the fish first”. Lol

“We need to institute busing of people out of the hood, and into the wilderness....”
