Finally an organization to get behind…

[SS!]

As someone who has to face white privilege daily it’s refreshing to see something like this:

Hunters of Color

Dismantling barriers to entry for hunters of color by providing educational opportunities, mentorships, and resources for the hunting community.

[JPickett]

Too bad people pimp out what could be a legitimate thing. Check out the”ally pledge” and if you feel really guilty about your privilege you might just be good enough one day.

Just more racism. Socially acceptable racism but racism none the less. I’d love to introduce hunting to people that haven’t had the chance. Their color makes no difference to me. Unlike these clowns

"We dismantle barriers to entry for hunters of color by providing educational opportunities, mentorships, and resources for new hunters."​

What "barriers" would that be?

"Show your support through financial donations".​

Oh, that one!


There is definitely room for all different types and colors of people in the hunting community! We will complain and ridicule them just like we do everyone else No playing favorites here...

Red, yellow, black, or white as long as you ain't sitting in MY hunting sport we're golden. MY sport is MY privilege.

 

[JPickett]

For the record, Im very proud of my privilege and the privilege I’ve provided for my children through a life time of incredibly hard work. Think I need to start a new hash tag

Before I bow to your privilege, can you post a copy of your video you use to train Mexicans to use an outhouse?

Hows that working? Figured out why they wipe chit on your outhouse yet?

Mine has a lock on it. They want to sit in there own chit that’s there prerogative.

And I’ll take the Mexicans on my jobs any day. Usually my biggest problem is too many white guys

 

[JPickett]

Well I am…Would you rather I appropriate another race? Thought that was bad??

So you have a line on some good tamales?

 

[JPickett]

So you have a line on some good tamales?

Once the framers show up. I buy um every week. With the home made hot sauce

 

[hossblur]

Hope the get the opportunity to visit some indigenous peoples land. Be a great learning experience.

As for the rest of the land, guess they should have fought harder?

 

[SS!]

Damn. You’re living right. Not enough Mexicans up here to get legit tamales.

 

[JPickett]

Damn. You’re living right. Not enough Mexicans up here to get legit tamales.

Sometimes they give me those weird little marshmallow cookies too. Love those things

 

[eelgrass]

Maybe 20% of tags should be set aside for people of color.

 

[bullskin]

It sounds like a good cause. If only I hadn't given all my money to that TV preacher... And the billionaire who needed a new plane.

[tailchasers]

A Hale Mary seems oddly appropriate....

I mark “native Alaskan “ on anything I fill out that asks. That put me in for these tags?

I thought you were proud of being white?

 

[SS!]

Story doesn’t check out. Another example of the white man not being honest.

 

[JPickett]

I thought you were proud of being white?

Never said I wasn’t. I was born in Alaska. That makes me native to it.does my color matter in that definition?

 

[JPickett]

I guess I can see why you made that comment though. I suppose I conflated “tags for people of color” with minorities.

 

[hossblur]

I ask all the time.

Which indigenous people owned the land?

It's fun pretending history began only when European showed up.

 

[JPickett]

When did Europeans show up? Clovis points have been found in middle of this country pre dating “native Americans” that style spear point has connections to France. Soooo? Should we give the land to France?

 

[SS!]

Dammit guys you took my not so serious thread and made it serious. <sigh> another example of whitey keeping us down…

 

[Bluehair]

Fairways are starting to green up. I’ll be chasing whitey around again pretty soon

Exactly.

I'm no historian, but I'm pretty sure the Utes didn't cross the Bering Sea Land Bridge. Yet, it's "their land" around here?


I looked at a few of the bios of the directors.

This looks a lot more like an attempt to suck in "BIPOC" kids to the Sierra Club, than a hunting group.

 

[Bluehair]

Never said I wasn’t. I was born in Alaska. That makes me native to it.does my color matter in that definition?

Whew…I was worried that you didn’t understand that much of that demographic information was used to allocate social equity programs. So if you’re a honkey racist, lying about your race can have just the opposite outcome of the intent.

But I can see you’re much more clever than that.

 

[JPickett]

is it OK to say honkey?

seems racists

 

[hossblur]

Not if you took the ally pledge?

 

[JPickett]

i bet blue did too. seems like a real apologist. you check your privilege blue?

 

[eelgrass]

Just put up a totem pole like I did. It's the ultimate virtue signal. Plus, you can gill net and hunt the Res.

 

[JPickett]

and i'm the one being disingenuous!!

too rich. couldn't make that up

 

[Bluehair]

We will be needing you to check yes on each point to prove your sorrow for your whiteness?

 

[Bluehair]

All I did was ask someone for an update on their porta john training program. He has boasted about it here before so I was curious how it was going. Sorry I offended you

You really don’t think someone with as much lead exposure as me (I siphoned gas!) is going to read all that jibberish, do you?

 

[hossblur]

Not enough.

I'll need to to strive to do better in the future?

so i've been watching the supreme court nomination hearings...

 

[hossblur]

VP, and now SCOTUS member.

Women "of color", who are very interested in whiteness, and systemic racism.

Both married to white dudes.

It's almost as if they don't buy the "racism ingrained in whiteness" theory

 

[JPickett]

yeah, but they went to Harvard so they've never experienced privilege

 

[Bluehair]

You guys ever wonder how much different your lives would be if you identified as angry black women? You’re almost there anyway?

 

[JPickett]

Man, just think. I’d have every qualification to be a Supreme Court justice!!

 

[eelgrass]

I'm almost to the point of forgiving Native Americans for owning black slaves. No, I will never forgive them.

When you think of the Trail of Tears, you likely imagine a long procession of suffering Cherokee Indians forced westward by a villainous Andrew Jackson. Perhaps you envision unscrupulous white slaveholders, whose interest in growing a plantation economy underlay the decision to expel the Cherokee, flooding in to take their place east of the Mississippi River.

What you probably don’t picture are Cherokee slaveholders, foremost among them Cherokee chief John Ross. What you probably don’t picture are the numerous African-American slaves, Cherokee-owned, who made the brutal march themselves, or else were shipped en masse to what is now Oklahoma aboard cramped boats by their wealthy Indian masters. And what you may not know is that the federal policy of Indian removal, which ranged far beyond the Trail of Tears and the Cherokee, was not simply the vindictive scheme of Andrew Jackson, but rather a popularly endorsed, congressionally sanctioned campaign spanning the administrations of nine separate presidents.
