CNN thinks there are too many whites enjoying our public lands

Leftists are mentally ill.

Why the Hell should minorities who aren't stupid enough to want to go walking over mountains be forced to so that leftist whites feel better?

Not smart marketing to frame it in the way they did at all. These same people, if they get their wish, will be calling for the closures of these places due to overuse and abuse.

Minorities just don’t get it. They’re here to help the minorities that don’t understand. Come along, now, minorities.

From what I've seen and heard, Asian visitors already outnumber any other race in the national park sys. If you want to experience the Chinese equivalent of Yellowstone, then just go to Yellowstone.

"For communities of color in general, we've never seen us in the outdoors. We've never known that we have a place in these spaces. When you don't see other people who look like you and when you don't see the makeup of the staff that look like you in the national parks, you don't feel welcome," Baker said.

Well that’s an interesting quote.

There's nothing prohibiting nonwhites from using public lands. They choose not to and that's somehow our fault too.

If you’ve never been to GSMNP, you will be shocked at the amount of Asians and Indian people visiting. No, this article has one purpose. To berate white people.

At first i thought this was just some stupid racist thing by CNN to constantly blame white people for everything. But now im starting to think its the greatest troll of all time for CNN to troll people of color of how much they are not doing compared to white people.

It's all about education. There is a lack of it in minority neighborhoods and therefore the children do not grow up understanding the idea(ls) of nature.

The black folk I see around the LSU lakes and in state parks when I am visiting back home in LA seem to understand it just fine. This article is about blaming whitey and making some white guilt liberals feel good about “helping” the poor, ignorant minorities.

Also, I know you know how important donations are. This article by itself I don’t think will cause people to reconsider donations but, the endorsement by the ATC has made me reconsider my donations to them. It’s about conservation. Not preaching a warped political ideology.
