Pirate's Cove

There is a continuing amount of serious Hot Takes going on, as you all know. All which heavily deflect from the actual issue of police reform, right? While speaking with a black person I know last week, I mentioned that all these white liberals were basically attempting to speak for blacks, like mom calling the dentist for you when you’re 21. He said “we need all the help we can get.” Is this really helping when it deflects off the central message? Seriously, the dad of the kid killed in the CHOP was on Fox weeping for his son killed by Marxists and ABC is out here tweeting “iS tHE oUtSIdE rACisT?”

America’s national parks face existential crisis over race
A mostly white workforce, visitation threatens parks’ survival and public health

As millions of Americans escape home quarantine to the great outdoors this summer, they’ll venture into parks, campgrounds and forest lands that remain stubborn bastions of self-segregation.

“The outdoors and public lands suffer from the same systemic racism that the rest of our society does,” said Joel Pannell, associate director of the Sierra Club, which is leading an effort to boost diversity in the wilderness and access to natural spaces.

New government data, shared first with ABC News, shows the country’s premier outdoor spaces — the 419 national parks — remain overwhelmingly white. Just 23% of visitors to the parks were people of color, the National Park Service found in its most recent 10-year survey; 77% were white. Minorities make up 42% of the U.S. population.

“That tells me that we’ve got a lot of work to do,” said David Vela, acting director of the National Park Service.

The career park administrator, appointed by President Donald Trump to the post in 2017, is the first Latino to lead the agency.

The membership of the Sierra Club is overwhelmingly white Modern Socialist. I guess they’re raaaaacist Exactly what is the solution, though? Are we supposed to force “minorities” to visit national parks and make them take jobs working for the parks? Are we to force minorities to visit the great outdoors?

Government officials and environmental advocates agree that the racial disparity in the outdoors is an existential crisis.

“If we don’t address this, and we don’t see how all these things are interrelated, then we’re going to risk losing everything,” said Pannell. “You’re not going to have public lands to enjoy.”

This level of racial fear-mongering and crazy is beyond comment, is it not? Seriously, even a face-palm GIF just doesn’t seem to fit with this level of Moonbattery.

Ambreen Tariq, creator of the “Brown People Camping” social media campaign, learned to camp with her family in Minnesota after they emigrated to the U.S. from India. She now advocates for representation of families like hers and people of color to enjoy the outdoors.

“The future of our country is more and more diverse, … we’re going to have more people of color in this country than white people, but our parks, our green spaces, our conservation spaces, those demographics are remaining white. What does that mean for the future of our land, for environmentalism? We need everyone to experience and then love the land so that they will stay and fight,” Tariq said.

I think we need to pass a law forcing People Of Color to spend time in the great outdoors, along with a lottery system that forces POC to take jobs at parks.

However, when she camps or hikes as an adult, Tariq said she still faces assumptions that she doesn’t belong and a sense of “imposter syndrome” and fear — even facing questions from rangers about whether she has followed park rules when she doesn’t see white visitors asked the same questions.

Oh, good grief, get over yourself. If you see her picture, she looks Middle Eastern. She’s trying to play the Victim, hijacking the Black Lives Matter movement (which is pure Marxist at its root). How does this help with police reform?
