The Racist Trees of Our National Parks
frontpagemag.com ^ | 5/6/16 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 05/07/2016 2:19:53 PM PDT by ColdOne

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.”

Well, humans should not trespass on nature.

I read through the article and thought this was from The Onion. This can country has indeed become wacko land.

Our government has become really, really creepy. Why are they keeping track of people’s skin color who visit national parks?

As good an explanation as any from a government employee with severe intellectual challenges! (Hire the handicapped for government service).

Well, then we have to change a lot of street names: Elm, Maple, Oak, etc.

I think most city dwellers don’t like camping. If you grew up doing it then you are more likely to do it as an adult

“they associate them with slaves being lynched by their masters.”

Ah yes, a memory fresh in the mind of every contemporary black person. As an Anglo-Saxon, I feel the same way every time I meet someone named Norman.

...not to mention nonsense about racist trees and scary uniforms, is a move to divert the focus to urban development. Then there’s the flow of money to “community organizations” to engage “culturally diverse communities”.

All that is code for robbing parks and moving the money into the same network of corrupt organizations that already swallows all the money that the Federal government can throw at its local projects. This isn’t inclusiveness. It’s blackmail. Advertise in our publications. Give us grants. Or your trees are racist.

Its the racial bullsh*t shakedown BLACK democrat are so well known for.. FEED THE CORRUPT, FEED THE CORRUPT, FEED THE BLACK CORRUPT ONES OR WE'LL STOP PROPPING UP WHITE LIBERAL ELITES.

Hispanic American will side with Republicans because they're NOT like this...

she claims that “oppression and violence against black people in forests and other green spaces can translate into contemporary understandings that constrain African-American environmental understandings.”

...black people experience “fear and mistrust of forests and other green spaces.”

Using her logic, blacks should also experience a fear and mistrust of being in inner cities, since almost all violence perpetrated against blacks for the last many decades has happened in our concrete jungles. And they should also experience a fear and mistrust of other blacks, since 90%+ of black murders are perpetrated by other blacks, totaling over 350,000 in the last 35 years.

So basically, according to this whiney victicrat, blacks can't go anywhere or see anyone without experiencing emotional trauma. That being the case, why single out just "trees and other green spaces"? To indict whitey yet again, of course.
