I don't have a problem with this and as an older white dude (from the South), I wouldn't be offended if it showed up in my email box. I get plenty of advertising that doesn't pertain to me. (ED pills, for one! LOL!)

So what .. their marketing people have decided it would be good for the company's profit margin to target black people for their travel services. That's capitalism. Doesn't bother me a bit.

I just think it’s sort of ridiculous to say that it’s white people’s fault black people don’t get outdoors as much (statistically).

"...celebrating the ways Black travelers are making their mark on the world..."

WTF does that even mean? Are we supposed to be making our mark on the world when we take a vacation?

shite like that is so stupid.

I actually did receive that email. Opened it, deleted it immediately, and then got angry at myself that I bumped their open rate so they'll think that people want this kind of shite.

Actually, I'm going to dig it up and unsubscribe.

Well, not being a black fella myself ... not even a little bit, I'll let black people worry about whether or not to be offended by TripAdvisors' marketing.

1. I don't see how black people don't find this insulting
2. I thought we were told that outdoor activities like hiking are racist
3. Stuff like this always makes me laugh because we're told that black people are treated like second class citizens when every major institution and corporation kisses their asses 24/7


1. Majority are under-educated, and are taught to be victims. They eat this shite up like candy.
2. Hiking isn't racist, hikers are racist...because they can afford boots and sticks and energy to walk up hills.
3. See #1. Black people in general don't comprehend that all the pandering to them is doing them absolutely zero good. Breeds contempt for their "massa" and as a people they just wallow in filth like pigs.

I couldn't find the email in my trash, but was able to dig up one from them with this subject line and unsubscribe from that one.
