Damn i was hoping they wouldn’t burn down the National forest.....
This has been a narrative for awhile - if black people don’t want to attend national parks, it’s somehow Whitey’s fault. Embrace the guilt.
“Smokey” is obviously a racist slur for a bear of color. Plus he is voiced by a white guy!
Watch for calls that it’s discriminatory to provide federal funding to support something that almost exclusively benefits white people.
You heard it here first.
Insanity continues...
On Facebook, I saw an ABC report about this with lots of comments.
Suddenly, before my eyes, all the comments disappeared and there was no way to make a comment.

“Lack of transportation to national parks and the cost of visiting were cited as the top reasons people”
This is such bull. Road/camping trips are often one of the cheapest vacation options available unless you insist on glamping or RVing.
I say we give in to them and make the whole continent of
Africa a Black national park.
This has been brought up from time to time over the last 30 years. I’ve been to several national parks and a lot of state, regional, and county parks and have seen very few blacks in any of them. I’ve seen some in the city parks. When I was in the Army I noticed that the black guys were afraid of snakes, lizards, turtles, frogs, and most of the critters in the woods.
Also riding the bison in Yellowstone would be an enlightening experience as well as hottubbing in the natural thermal features. Petting those cute cuddly bear cubs . . . who could resist? An excellent idea.
to cause more white guilt, to get more of the unearned, undeserved, and something for nothing for parasites
ABC News mocked over report warning national parks 'face existential crisis over race' .
Oh don’t bother. The paranoid see a monster behind every bush. You can’t talk someone out of a delusion.
Into the great white open. Under them skies so blue. Into the great white open. A liberal without a clue.
Systemic Racism = Easter Bunny Real
Racist question of the day: do most black people really want to go see the national parks? Serious question.
I think the national battlefield parks have a similar problem--very few black Americans visit them. So the ones I have been to try to emphasize black history as it relates to the Civil War or the Revolutionary War.
I can’t wait for the new National Park Racial Quota System to kick in and stop me from hiking unless the requisite number of Blacks and Hispanics are out doing it too that day.
