Reply to comment by Hellrazor32 in Decentering Whiteness in Hiking and Fostering Inclusivity Outdoors by honeybeedreams

Calling police? What??? Calling police bc someone is hiking a trail would be certifiable. If you took my comment as defensive... IDK. People tire of lectures from young, rich white kids. Sorry.

Are you saying I’m a young, rich, white kid? I’m a 40 year old tradeswoman from a middle class family, and I have a high school education. Park Rangers are alerted to the presence of POC on trails pretty often, particularly black men because “they looked out of place” or other nonsense. The lecturing isn’t coming from me. It’s coming from non white people. Like, for example, the person who wrote the article that was posted. If you’re tired of hearing it, imagine how tired they are of living it.

I'm sure they are. I can't imagine non white people feel comfortable anywhere in VT.
