(Natural News) When everything is racist, then nothing is — and that’s a lesson the cultural Marxists running our ‘mainstream’ media outlets should have learned long ago.
Take CNN for instance: Now, anything having to do with outdoor activity is a racist construct devised by white people to keep people of color down…or something like that.
Newsbusters highlighted the lunacy:
CNN’s Leah Asmelash went out of her way to analyze (a generous term) the history of outdoor activities and who participates in them. Citing the history of eugenics, poets like Walt Whitman and Henry David Thoreau, and President Theodore Roosevelt, she used muddled and inconclusive pieces of evidence to support her conclusion that the history of outdoor activities are steeped in institutional racism (sound familiar)?
While Asmelash does highlight that there was a period where parks were actually segregated between white and black people (which is racist), that time is long gone and there is absolutely nothing from preventing anyone from getting outside and enjoying the outdoors.
Absolutely nothing.
That said, minorities are demanding that the outdoors be made safe for them so they, too, can enjoy it, all in the name of “diversity and inclusion,” don’t you know. But, as Newsbusters noted, the irony here is that their solution to the perceived “racism” in the outdoors is…segregation.
“Groups like Black Girls Hike RVA, Outdoor Afro, and Indigenous Women Hike have all formed in an attempt to ‘change the idea that outdoor recreation is only for White people,’” the media analysis site noted, citing the groups.
“Furthermore, there will be a group of climbers that will attempt to summit Mount Everest — who are all black (calling themselves the ‘Full Circle Everest Expedition’),” Newsbusters noted citing the CNN report.
“There has to be a greater goal from groups like these that is more than simply just proving that black people can hike and fish too,” the outlet added.
You would think so but apparently not. But just look at the way Asmelash draws her conclusions:
Though visitation data to national parks does not include breakdown by race, activity numbers by the Census Bureau don’t exactly paint the most inclusive picture. White Americans vastly outnumber people of color in outdoor activities like fishing, hunting and wildlife watching, according to 2016 data from the Census Bureau, and numerous studies show that people of color are less likely to use public parks and outdoor recreation compared to White Americans.
