NY Times Author: Whites Prevent Minorities from Going to National Parks

"The national parks attracted a record 292.8 million visitors in 2014, but a vast majority were white and aging. The most recent survey commissioned by the park service on visitation, released in 2011, found that 22 percent of visitors were minorities, though they make up some 37 percent of the population. "This suggests an alarming disconnect," he writes.

Nelson believes that white people are, at least in part, to blame. "Carla DeRise has been to Mount Rainier and other parks, and is game to go again," Nelson details. "She just can’t get any of her friends to come along. They are worried about unfriendly white people, hungry critters and insects, and unforgiving landscapes, said Ms. DeRise."

I've seen several people compare the Saints logo to a swastika...

I would expect plenty of resistance to that one--with black faces at the front of the resistance. The Saints aren't a lily-white fan base by any stretch of the imagination, and the team (including its beloved logo) represents the city's recovery from a natural disaster that disproportionately affected minorities and the poor.


I would love to see the pinkos try it though. Seeing them get put in their place by black Saints fans would be priceless.

NAACP: Let's 'Sand Blast' Confederate Carvings Off Georgia's Stone Mountain

The Atlanta chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People called Monday for the removal of the 90- by 190-foot carving of three Confederate leaders, Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, from the side of Stone Mountain, television station WSB reported Tuesday.



“Those guys need to go. They can be sand-blasted off, or somebody could carefully remove a slab of that and auction it off to the highest bidder," NAACP Atlanta branch President Richard Rose told WSB.

The great thing about this country is that if anyone is overly offended by anything, especially this country's history then they are free to get the fuck out.

Obama's silence on Kathryn Steinle killing is deafening

After Trayvon Martin was killed, President Obama spoke emotionally about his death, declaring "this could have been my son."

After Michael Brown was killed, Obama promised to ensure that "justice is done". He even sent administration officials to attend Brown's funeral.

After Freddie Gray was killed, Obama walked out to the Rose Garden and declared: "We have some soul-searching to do."

But after Kathryn Steinle was killed July 1, allegedly by an undocumented immigrant with seven felony convictions, Obama said ... nothing.

No promises of "justice." No calls for "soul-searching."

His silence has been deafening.

Why has Obama been so reticent to speak out? Perhaps it is because any soul-searching in this case would require him to confront the fact that his administration has been releasing tens of thousands of dangerous undocumented immigrants with criminal convictions into our communities — including many who have gone on to commit murder.

After Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and Freddie Gray were killed, Obama had liberal public policy points he wanted to make — about gun control, "stand your ground" laws, racial profiling and police bias. In the Steinle case, there are no issues Obama wants to highlight — because his administration supports the policies that led to her death.

No wonder Obama is silent.
