Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

British Parks are for older, able-bodied white people

    Our National Parks service under Obama was spouting the same crap.

    Blacks don’t visit National Parks at the same rates as whites they also don’t camp at the same rate therefore it had to have something to do with racism.

    Hey Owl, is that one of the “white privileges” you were talking about?

    Camping?

    Of course Bob latches on to this as a racist comment. Things racists do.

    Mr Leafe told Sky News he sees the controversies in Cumbria as part of the debate about who national parks are for.

    "We are deficient in terms of young people, we are deficient in terms of black and minority ethnic communities and we are not particularly well-visited by those who are less able in terms of their mobility," he said.

    "Our challenge is to see what we can do to reverse that, to encourage people from broader backgrounds and a wider range of personal mobilities into the national park to be able to benefit in the same way that those other groups do."

    I like my progressive presidents to speak softly, carry a big stick and invent national parks.

    They don’t play a lot of hockey either. Maybe the NHL needs to work on that.

    But for some reason we never hear any of the bullshit about “disparate impact” when talking about the NFL or the NBA.
