So is there a government plan to force the minorities to go to parks? Is busing in the future? How is this white people's fault they don't go? I hate crap like this.
Me too, and I want to totally get rid of it. But I don't see how without separating from the federal government and diversity itself who in majority seem to support these plans and policies .
Maybe just stop going to National Parks so much since our government doesn't want too many of us there.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 13.4% of the U.S. population is black, meaning the 77% figure for whites and 23% figure for non-whites isn't that far from the actual US population.
Screw it. We should just euthanize or deport the percentage of whites necessary to even up the numbers. Moving forward we would need to regulate the population/births by color to keep the numbers equal.

If she's concerned about so few black visiting the parks, why doesn't she give them rides? Be fair though, let them know there aren't many stores to loot in the backcountry.
I would have thought it would be higher, because black folk generally don't vacation outside of cities (high urban population and lower dispensable income means less distances traveled in general), but 77% isn't bad, especially factoring that most national parks are in the interior of the Western half of America which will diverse is pretty white outside of the cities. I've always subconsciously viewed National Parks as just something white folk do. I also wonder if international visitors to U.S national parks are in this count.
I don't see how going to a national park has any connection with racism though, more likely it's a geography issue.
The bold section is why they are making the claim of racism. Not accessible to black people.
