Night shift I never get to stay up this late. Got a business and have to run it, but I have to say I feel the most comfortable here. I probably don’t belong here. I’ve got some autism, but not like you guise see patterns. Nice to just hang around and learn.
I push staying up sometimes and just ignore the next day, but God you guise are good. And the most ingenious!
Really love and honor you Night Shift, what we do without you? Nothing, it’s the cycles of the data and night!
Such BS she just got arrested today. Knowing what she knows she’s already be healed by the therapeutics. Why is this coming out today, was there a deal made. Very clumsy really
National Parks Are Latest Target of Systemic Racism Claim in America
Elements of the left are claiming now that America’s national parks are built on systemic racism.
“The outdoors and public lands suffer from the same systemic racism that the rest of our society does,” Joel Pannell, associate director of the Sierra Club, said in an ABC report, titled “America’s Great White Outdoors.” The report called the parks “stubborn bastions of self-segregation.”
“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,” Pannell said. “You’re not going to have public lands to enjoy.”
The report is part of a wave of sometimes violent protests taking place across the nation after the death of George Floyd, a black man who was killed while being arrested by Minneapolis police on Memorial Day. All four officers involved in the arrest have been charged in the case.
ABC cited a National Park Service Study but did not link to it:
New government data, shared first with ABC News, shows the country’s premier outdoor spaces — the 419 national parks — remain overwhelmingly white. Just 23 percent of visitors to the parks were people of color, the National Park Service found in its most recent 10-year survey; 77 percent were white. Minorities make up 42 percent of the U.S. population.
The U.S. Census Bureau projects people of color will be a majority in America by 2044 — a demographic shift that will impact park attendance and finances. Community advocates say physical and mental health for minority communities is also at risk.
Ironically ABC reached out to National Park Service Acting Director David Vela, President Donald Trump’s nominee for the post and the first Latino to hold the position. Vela has been at the NPS since 2017.
ABC confronted Vela with the racial data.
“That tells me that we’ve got a lot of work to do,” Vela said.
ABC said federal government officials and environmental activists both see the “racial disparity in the outdoors is an existential crisis.”
ABC interviewed minorities who are nonetheless enjoying the outdoors.
“I feel like nature is a right to everyone, and we should all feel safe enough to experience it,” Lauren Gay, a Tampa, Florida, mother told ABC. She has a blog and podcast called, “Outdoorsy Diva.”
“We need better ways to cope with stress, to cope with some level of trauma. We all have some level, honestly, of PTSD from a lot of the things we’ve lived through as people of color — and nature is a way to do that,” Gay said.
“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,” Ambreen Tariq, creator of the “Brown People Camping” social media campaign, said in the ABC report.
She said she learned how to camp after her family moved to Minnesota from India.
“Still, racial profiling and stereotyping remain a big concern for Tariq and many people of color in the outdoors,” ABC reported.
“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.
“We are urging people who are maybe having this conversation for the first time to do the work. It’s not just about a moment. It’s about committing yourself to completely change your lifestyle,” Danielle Williams, a fourth-generation Army veteran who leads the “Diversify Outdoors” coalition, said in the ABC report.
