Mickey Fearn, the National Park Service Deputy Director for Communications and Community Assistance, made headlines when he claimed that black people dont 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 nations history because of the horrors of lynching.

So maybe the answer is to make big cities national parks - or petting zoos - and invite those suitably inclined to frequent those parks instead?
And leave the natural parks for normals...

Oh my God.
Just more “dreamers” getting their jollies.
I almost wish I hadn’t read it.

Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you got till it’s gone.
You don’t see black lobstermen in Maine. You know why? The traps are made by whites and they remind blacks of the prisons that the white oppressors made to imprison them.
+1.

Black people don’t visit because their lumpen-proletariat find them boring. No drugs, no sex, no killings. Next?
I heard that!
When I see lobster traps, it reminds me of this:
Yummmmm...lobster.
Randy Newman: In America you get food to eat; don’t have to run through the jungle and scuff up yo’ feet.
I can see the new marketing slogan:
Our national parks, just like Africa, only different.
That would be Aspens; they hang out at a certain elevation, where, they usually are all white. Racist.
Maybe if we paid them for not visiting, that would sufficiently please the “activists.”
There’s something seriously wrong with a society in which Alcee Hastings is anything but a humorous footnote. Even before he was a convicted felon, he was dumb as a froe.
fear and mistrust of forests and other green spaces.
I believe they would be very thankful to climb a tree out in the savannahs of Africa if they were being chased by hungry lions.
Of course, Tarzan was known to swing out of trees and kick butt. Crazy white ape, he was.
Well played.
That would explain the lack of negros visiting Death Valley and Grand Canyon, all those trees.
It did seem an obvious response.
Carly, how have you been? ;-)
It’s difficult to sympathize with someone who voluntarily soils their own bed and then complains about the smell. When blacks define some activity as “white” and avoid it they are self segregating. Some of the “white” things like speaking understandable English, working hard at academics, and getting good grades are discourage by threats and fists within their community. Going to the National Parks is the least of things no one is stopping them from doing and enjoying.
LOL!! Good post!
