NBC is slammed for report about black people needing 'safe spaces' to camp to avoid 'trauma' from white people who might have Trump flags

NBC News has been slammed online for a report about black people needing 'safe spaces' to enjoy outdoor activities.

NBC BLK reporter Char Adams described in a recently-revived June essay several black-led outdoor groups working to 'provide safe spaces for black people to enjoy outdoor activities and dispel myths that the outdoors doesn't belong to us.'

The report focused heavily on creating racially segregated 'safe spaces' so that black people can avoid 'harassment' and 'trauma' from white people who might fly 'Trump flags' at campsites.

Adams explained that the groups were founded to combat racism from the Jim Crow Era barring African Americans from National Parks, and current stereotypes that black people do not enjoy outdoor activities.

Many on Twitter criticized the report after NBC News re-shared it on Tuesday, saying the media outlet was race-baiting.

On Wednesday, defense attorney Marina Medvin joked that the outdoors were now 'racist,' and Seattle-based radio host Jason Rant slammed the article as a 'parody.'

'NBC News is now Teen Vogue, which became The New Republic,' he tweeted. 'They're just a parody, not a news organization.'

Kentucky State University Political Science Professor Wilfred Reilly even went as far as to say the article was an 'unbearable' example of 'upper-class left-wing neuroticism and fake race/gender grievance' from the media.

'It brings us headlines like "It's Summer: Is it All Right to Leave the House?' he joked.

NewsNation reporter Zaid Jilani also hit out at the news outlet for suggesting black people were living in a horror film.

'Does a week go by without an article from a once-reputable news organization suggesting minorities live in an endless M. Night Shyamalan movie where our entire lives are spent hiding from this or that?'

“...because they want us dead.. they have said so...”

FWIW, the feeling is pretty much mutual at this point.

Well, if I actually saw black people outside enjoying outdoor activities that might change the stereotype.

No.

Interestingly, the left is great at projecting what they are all about.

Just watch what they accuse the right and white people of and you'll know what's in their hearts.

I suppose it would be a bad idea to show her the episodes of the Babylon Bee miniseries of “Californians Moving to Texas”. The episode on Buc’ees had me ROTFLMAO.

The original NBC article is here:

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/meet-black-outdoorsy-groups-reclaiming-joys-nature-rcna86934?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma&taid=64c07e3963691100014757f1&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

It lyingly presents examples of PAST segregation as examples of CURRENT segregation. If segregation was so unfair then why does this racist writer propose segregation as the only solution?

Blacks need safe spaces where blacks gather in large numbers. Shootings and crime are inevitable. If blacks camp near Trump flags, they’ll be threatened with offers of free beer.
