Park ranger uniforms that resemble what is worn by law enforcement are intimidating to some immigrants and minorities in light of documented cases of profiling.


Holy sh*t

If you claim the outdoors is racist...you are a racist...

Only, in the parks, it's not the Whites.

It's the bears. They hate POC. It's from an old grudge with the Injuns.

WTF are you kidding me. If this is true everyone needs to go to national parks. Get your arse to Yellowstone ASAP and it will change your life perspective.

ABC also noted that one study showed "twice as many black and Hispanic Americans said they don't know what to do in national parks than whites."

Could be the root cause here is the fact that none of the national parks remind them of their homeland. ABC is welcome to start a movement to import native African animals into the national parks.

Literally, they are telling black people that they're twice as likely to be stupid as white people. Who doesn't know what to do in national parks?

No joke I was on a hike with a couple of friends at the end of May. Very easy trail, almost 3 miles with a few small waterfalls. Plenty of people of every creed and color. We stop at the final waterfall and there’s a semi steep climb just past it, but there‘s almost no point in ascending it cause there wasn’t much to see up at the top. So we’re just sitting on the rocks below the waterfall and from the trail this morbidly obese Hispanic female comes walking up towards the spot where it gets steep and starts screaming “Nobody even likes hiking why are we here?!” We all bust out laughing.

Spent a lot of time hiking throughout all the major National Parks, North, South, East & west. Never met a more polite,helpful, unintimidating group of men & women than the Nation's Park Rangers. They all seemed to have the same over riding passion: a love for the country's outdoors. Any one intimidated by a Park Ranger has serious self issues.

Black people are afraid of nature and can’t swim. Why would they go to parks other than to sell drugs?

I'm a results oriented person. What do they want to do to rectify this "situation"?

That would make for an interesting episode of Yogi Bear. Yogi's cousin Pookie from out of town comes to vist but gets blasted by Ranger Smith because he thought he was trying to steal a pic-a-nic basket. Boo Boo and Ray Ray organize a "Paws Up, Dont Shoot!" protest and Jellystone Park gets burnt to the ground. Support BLM, Bear Lives Matter.

Technically you must first be a family to have a family outing at a park.

As a white person, I'm so tired of us having to teach other races to "appreciate nature", "not destroy shite", and "be cool".

This is funny and sad, but it's also a scary thing, too.

Remember when sports used to be a way of getting away from the stresses and aggravations of life, and just relax and enjoy yourself?

Have you noticed how sports has become a focus of SJW's, to the point that a radio sports show is more likely to be discussing racism and injustice than actual sporting events? And how most of the time, the sporting angle is mostly about salary, not performance?

Well, here's the next target- public parks and the outdoors. It's gonna become the next place full of angry, obnoxious and intrusive "woke people", harassing people who just want to get away from it all.

That is all Asian by the way...including the Chinese dude who passed me like I was standing still on a hike to Delicate Arch. He was wearing dress slacks, a button down and penny loafers. No engrish, no backpack, no water bottle, no fricks given.
