National Geographic Magazine - White Privilege!
National Geographic Magazine ^ | 9/25/16

Posted on 09/25/2016 9:59:35 AM PDT by SES1066

I date myself by saying that my first knowing glimpses of an unclad human female's top came from the venerable "National Geographic" Magazine. While the photos were always in context with the learned articles, still, when the article was set in the tropics of some exotic place, even the most sheltered child could get a glimpse of 'forbidden fruit!'

TOPICS: History; Humor; Outdoors; Society
KEYWORDS: topless; women
The cover of the new issue, October 2016, of National Geographic, has, five, count them, five topless WHITE Caucasian women! Yet, in what has to be an emphatic example of the oft cited 'White Privilege', it is only a view of their backs! If I were BLM, I would be protesting in front of NG's HQ in Washington DC!

Being that this is a copyright picture, I am unable to post the image that all will see on the newsstands and checkout lines for the next month! You can click on the link though!

Cartoonists have been forbidden in our area newspapers from showing blacks in Africa in African garb. That’s ‘racist.’

For blacks and Latinos there were cultural barriers to enjoying the outdoors. And for the young, in many cases, it was about technology.

Ergo it's the fault of old white males. < /sarc >

One time when I was TDY in the mid 70s from Croughton to a little place on the east coast called Cold Blow, I stayed at an inn that had a collection of 1940s-50s National Geographic issues in the room. I spent quite a good while looking through them.

Today, I wouldn’t even give a current copy a second look.

The agency’s last major comprehensive survey of demographics, released five years ago, did not have figures for age but did find that park visitors were “disproportionately white.” To fix this, Jarvis started a campaign that presents a different face of the parks.

As a white male, i'm getting sick and tired of being told that I don't really exist.

Easy solution: draw your cartoon of Africans in Africa in traditional Laplander garb.

Indeed, all indigenous people’s should be portrayed in cartoons in Laplander garb.

No one will care if it’s cultural malappropriation of Laplandish culture because they are white.

You are Privileged to work hard, and pay your way, so other’s do not have to.

Been boycotting them since they went all Al Gore a few years ago. Sadly many of my favorite magazine titles have had to go because of their desire to shove politics in my face these days. Thankfully Family Handyman has kept their senses.

I have lots of the old Nat Geo from the 90s and before anyway, so I can enjoy lots of decent articles for many years.

National Geographic has always been middlebrow. This is not an insult, just an observation that the magazine traffics in conventional wisdom rather than intellectual substance.

“Don’t get me wrong, Dad—I feel lucky,” Casey said. “I realize this is something very few people get to experience. It’s like I’m getting a private tour of someone’s really nice house.”

In a single sentence "Casey" summarizes everything that's wrong about the Millennials.

I was a long-time subscriber to National Geographic. A few years ago, after at least a decade of the magazine drifting further into political correctness, and having barely much to do with geography anymore, I let my subscription lapse and have never looked back.

I will not pay money for my own dispossession.

There is a whole lot of stuff in the National Geographic that has nothing to do with geography. It is largely environmentalist propaganda now.

If you are over 50, I agree with you. At 56, no longer do I exist, but it seems that all remnants of me are being taken away daily.

No one will care if it’s cultural malappropriation of Laplandish culture because they are white.

But the Sami are a minority and are protected under the international conventions of indigenous peoples.

The UN will send you a sternly worded letter.

I quit National Geographic when they got into the promoting human produced global warming business.
