Camping - too expensive for black people?

The Los Angeles Times reported that recreational camping has a “complicated” past when it comes to racism and the cost of camping gear is a “barrier” preventing minorities from enjoying the hobby.
“Camping is often called America’s favorite outdoor activity,” the Los Angeles Times posted on its Twitter account, along with an article titled, “Want more diversity in camping? Start with the gear."
"But camping and national parks have a complicated past when it comes to racial equality and equal access for all. One modern barrier to entry: the cost of camping gear," the tweet continued.

Camping is actually pretty cheap.
You drive somewhere and then sleep outside.
HTH -
The story was obviously written by some clueless white millennial who assumed camping required a 30 foot RV. You would think that he knew that homeless people didn't have a lot of money and they love to camp.

Homeless people camp every day. Are they rich?
EDIT- didn’t see @WestlinnDuck’s post. Great minds and all that...

What barriers are we talking about?

They are too dumb and poor to camp. If you go camping, you ain’t black.
Maybe in general, black people aren’t into camping at national and state parks. Ever think of that? I do know many love to spend Friday and Saturday nights at the suburban holiday inn near by. Which it probably more expensive than camping. -
Camping for us in high school was getting as much booze as possible and ending up surprised when and where we woke up
Kind of like homeless folks -
Anyone else recall City posting that article a few years back on the Shed claiming that blacks didn't camp or attend our National Parks because of their historical fear of lynching?

I hear they aren't big fans of ice hockey on account of their fear of being lynched. Same with Polo and square dancing.MikeDamone said:They are too dumb and poor to camp. If you go camping, you ain’t black.

What happened to that guy? He was Chris Steele’s fluffer when the bogus dossier was published. He went all in on it, even the pee pee nonsense.SFGbob said:Anyone else recall City posting that article a few years back on the Shed claiming that blacks didn't camp or attend our National Parks because of their historical fear of lynching?
