    Dame makes more than Nurk. Therefore your thesis is disproven.

    By this logic, one could easily claim that any cost increase on any good or service disproportionately impacts minorities.

    National parks are racist against minorities because you have to drive distances to get there, and having a reliable car isn't always guaranteed!

    An increase in membership fees at white supremacist organizations will not negatively impact minorities. Therefore your thesis is disproven.

    There is an easy fix. Create new, inner-city national parks.

    That will just cause white flight to the inner cities and displace minorities.

    This is absolutely true.

    This is why we need better social policies like the other countries who have happier and healthier populations.

    Once again, better social policies would go a long way toward mitigating this problem...

    Also a great argument for a nationwide high speed rail system.

    Honestly, I don't want national parks that accessible. Humans will fuck them up

    This is a great argument for improving our education system and social safety net.

    We have far too many desperate people and ignorant assholes, and education is the solution.

    Schools can't teach respect.

    Society can teach respect. Schools can certainly be a part of that.

    I learned respect from my schools, my church and from my parents. Not to mention cub scouts, boy scouts and the army. It takes a village to raise a child.

    If things get bad here, we could always move to the 51st, 52nd, 53rd, or 54th state. Joe says.

    Until Parents start teaching their kids respect and showing respect, nothing the schools do will matter. Starts with the parents.

    People respond to the systems available to them. Social policies are the solution here.

    Throwing up your hands and blaming people for not having time isn't the solution.
