The Racist Trees of Our National Parks

Mickey Fearn, the National Park Service Deputy Director for Communications and Community Assistance, made headlines when he claimed that black people don’t visit national parks because they associate them with slaves being lynched by their masters.

Yellowstone, the first national park, was created in 1872 in Wyoming. Slavery was over by then and no one had ever been lynching slaves around Old Faithful anyway. But false claims of racism die very hard.

Now Alcee Hastings, an impeached judge, and a coalition of minority groups is demanding increased “inclusiveness” at national parks. High on their list is the claim that, “African-Americans have felt unwelcome and even fearful in federal parklands during our nation’s history because of the horrors of lynching.”

I guess the goal here is to close down all parks to everyone? ?

[Tax-chick]

Only if one can’t persuade sufficient black people to visit.

[DuncanWaring]

The obvious course of action is to take all the trees, put them in a tree museum, and charge people a dollar-and-a-half just to see them.

[Peter ODonnell]

I am fearful of visiting the downtown areas of American cities because of the fear of mugging.

And I am ten thousand times more rational in that assertion than the judge.

Blacks would love national parks, lots of free stuff and white liberals. It’s almost like staying home.

[Cboldt]

The guy is a fruitcake. Maybe he wants to lynch the trees in retribution.

re> I guess the goal here is to close down all parks to everyone? No. But it isn't fair you have to go to a big city to get mugged. Now you will be able to get mugged in a National Park.

” Now you will be able to get mugged in a National Park. “

No, that would negatively impact all the black park rangers.

'Frica has both trees and National Parks, and plentifical intersections of same.

Geez Louise, just STOP.

[cyclotic]

What a moron.

[Paladin2]

Tear up all in paving in the parking lots too.

[Nifster]

The goal is to give more money to community organizers

If you want more of the same then vote Hiollary

This is the insanity but effectiveness of the commie left

[trisham]

Maybe if we paid them to visit?

[USMCPOP]

How do people make this shit up? A diversity advisor to the U.S. National Parks Advisory Board??? I'd like them to go to some parks in the west and find apple trees. Maybe they want to raze the parks and plant watermelons?

Maybe the green uniforms of park rangers should be changed to pink tu-tus.

[Scrambler Bob]

Mugged???

How about raped.

See: Rape Trees.

Now you will be able to get mugged in a National Park.

Bears don't mug they maul

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Black Parks Matter!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I suppose feminists will then say the Grand Canyon is sexist because it resembles a gargantuan vagina?

DANG!

[Ouderkirk]

The next step is to ban whitey from going into the national parks....

[Sivad]

Ropes don’t hang people, trees do.
