[quote:Anonymous Coward 79889820:MV81MjE2MTU3Xzk1OTk3MDkwXzc2M0UxMTIx] At this point is there anything that isn't racist and offensive? [/quote]

Wisconsin Senate Democrat candidate Mandela Barnes claimed last July that national parks “weren’t made for the enjoyment of people who weren’t white.”
Speaking on the “Black Oxygen” podcast, Barnes suggested national parks are a part of the systemically racist fabric of America because the “parks are on land that was indigenous.”
“It’s important to create more welcoming spaces because things haven’t always felt welcome,” he said. “And that’s historical, just that perspective, given the fact that national parks weren’t made for the enjoyment of people who weren’t white. National parks are on land that was indigenous.”
Barnes, who serves as the Democratic Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin, is campaigning against Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) for the state’s senate seat. Polling shows Barnes is leading Johnson by 7 points. President Joe Biden in 2020 was elected in Wisconsin by less than one percent (49.4-48.8 percent).
It is not the first time Barnes has pushed radical ideas. A video surfaced in July of Barnes speaking about the “awful” founding of the nation.
