National Parks, the new "Racism"
ABC News ^ | August 17, 2009 | Debbie Schlussel

Posted on 08/17/2009 6:18:25 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

America's only Black Ranger at Yosemite National Park says Blacks don't visit our national parks because the soil/land reminds them of racism. Absurd.

This literally seems like a Daily Show or Colbert spoof! But it’s not.

America's only Black Ranger...

Intentionally misleading ABC garbage. Many readers will come away with the notion that there is only ONE black park ranger in America, not just that this guy is the only black park ranger at Yosemite.

His attempt to tie a lack of black visitors to slavery is ridiculous, but I think he was probably led to make a stronger statement than he really believes by the “journalist.” He doesn’t seem like an angry racemonger to me.

Me! Me! Me! I know! We need a National Parks Diversity czar and a tripling in federal funding of PBS so they can create multipart series (hosted by Gwen Ifill and Skip Gates, among others, of course) that will encourage African Americans to go to national parks. Kind of like the “stay in school” ads, but more urbane and erudite. It’ll be great.

it’s all about black race isn’t it? Not about ethics, values, honesty, integrity.... why am I not reading anything which has to do with blacks and their values?

we have now a guy who says that blacks don’t like parks because, I guess, they are about 150 years old by now, and remember being a slave and poor.

Heck, my parents remember picking cotton and tobacco all day and being poor. the blacks have not got a lock on that. BUT, we never used it as RACISM

Of course the logical extension of all this is that my mere presence, as a white man, reminds them, through some Jungian collective memory, of slavery.

Ergo, I must die to ease their psychic pain.
