I agree, it is disgusting, @Prettyphile. I understand the frustrated mind set. But yelling at the kids, it’s not going to make a change or solve anything. But hey! It might go viral and you get your 15 second of fame, so it’s ok, right?

July 8, 20204 yr National Parks are too white now? I give up. America's national parks face an existential crisis over race Quote As millions of Americans escape home quarantine to the great outdoors this summer, they'll venture into parks, campgrounds and forest lands that remain stubborn bastions of self-segregation. "The outdoors and public lands suffer from the same systemic racism that the rest of our society does," said Joel Pannell, associate director of the Sierra Club, which is leading an effort to boost diversity in the wilderness and access to natural spaces. New government data, shared first with ABC News, shows the country's premier outdoor spaces -- the 419 national parks -- remain overwhelmingly white. Just 23% of visitors to the parks were people of color, the National Park Service found in its most recent 10-year survey; 77% were white. Minorities make up 42% of the U.S. population. So it's white people's fault that POC don't visit Yellowstone more often because they feel out of place..... and scared KEKW? It's not the whites you need to be scared of.... Mother Nature who can turn on a dime is a big problem, and Mrs Grizzly Bear with her Buffalo, and Moose friends can fuck your day up pretty bad. How fuck does this make sense... Spoiler 2 Spoiler Government officials and environmental advocates agree that the racial disparity in the outdoors is an existential crisis. "If we don't address this, and we don't see how all these things are interrelated, then we're going to risk losing everything," said Pannell. "You're not going to have public lands to enjoy." A not-so-inclusive experience for some Ambreen Tariq, creator of the "Brown People Camping" social media campaign, learned to camp with her family in Minnesota after they emigrated to the U.S. from India. She now advocates for representation of families like hers and people of color to enjoy the outdoors. "The future of our country is more and more diverse, ... we're going to have more people of color in this country than white people, but our parks, our green spaces, our conservation spaces, those demographics are remaining white. What does that mean for the future of our land, for environmentalism? We need everyone to experience and then love the land so that they will stay and fight," Tariq said. "So you think the parks are at risk? Absolutely. The parks are at risk, just like every other natural resource in this country. Land, water, air. These are resources to be preserved. And it not just takes money. It takes people fighting for it," she continued. Still, racial profiling and stereotyping remain a big concern for Tariq and many people of color in the outdoors. "When I was a child, I felt like an outsider trying to gain entrance, except now I am American and this is my country," she said. However, when she camps or hikes as an adult, Tariq said she still faces assumptions that she doesn't belong and a sense of "imposter syndrome" and fear -- even facing questions from rangers about whether she has followed park rules when she doesn't see white visitors asked the same questions. I'm just fucking done...

(That’s Mrs.Bear saying hi and she agrees, that she is not racist, she’ll attack anyone that gets in between her and her cubs.) It’s always been us trying to keep our poc sisters and brothers down. Maybe I’m to much of a privileged child, to just not get that it’s us OR them. Like, Huckleberry vs Sambo. Sith vs Jedi. Romulans vs the Federation of Planets, without the neutral zone.

July 9, 20204 yr 'Glee' actress Naya Rivera is missing at a lake in California Spoiler (CNN)Rescuers will resume their search Thursday morning for "Glee" actress Naya Rivera after she went missing from a lake in Southern California. Rivera, 33, vanished from Lake Piru in Ventura County on Wednesday evening. The Ventura County Sheriff's Office said search efforts will resume "at first light" and called it a possible drowning. Rivera went to the lake Wednesday afternoon and rented a boat with her young child. Both were seen going out on the lake together, Sheriff's Capt. Eric Buschow said at a news conference. About three hours after they left the dock, another boater discovered a boat drifting with the child asleep onboard. Authorities were notified and they began searching from air and with a dive team. While it was hard to get information, the child said they went swimming but the mother didn't get back on the boat, Buschow said. He said the child had on a life vest and an adult life vest was found on the boat. Rivera has a 4-year-old son and local media outlets are reporting he was the child found on the boat. CNN has reached out to her representatives for more details. She played Santana Lopez on the Fox show for six years from 2009, and appeared in nearly every episode of the musical-comedy-drama. She was also on the CBS sitcom "The Royal Family" and in the comedy film "The Master of Disguise." Zack Teperman, who called himself her former publicist, said he was shocked by the news of her disappearance. "I still can't believe what I'm hearing and hoping it isn't true," he posted on social media. "I'm just sad. Naya Rivera was one of the first people I had the honor of working with back in 2009 when I got into public relations and moved to Hollywood. One of the first people to allow me to give her advice and guide her through those crazy Glee days." https://edition.cnn.com/2020/07/09/entertainment/naya-rivera-missing-trnd/index.html
