Mystery Ranch Gets 'Woke' - Dives into Politics

[Randle]

What's a "hashtag"? I have a wolf tag and an elk tag.

I was always taught its a pound sign

Buy American made quality packs. If you use those guidelines it rules out mystery ranch. Easy enough.

That’s quality advice.

And just by pure happenstance they decided to do this when the scourge of identity politics is sweeping the nation? Come on.

Or it's black history month

Poor kids are just as smart as white kids, always remember that.

Your the snowflake, no different different then the liberals you like pant as snowflakes tpo.
Your one in same. A Jackwade that melts and rants as soon as you see something you disagree with.

If you been lurking all this time and with all the pertinent useful gear information that is on this forum, this is what brought you out of the wood work to post it's a sign of your future uselessness here.
Seems like poltics and social arguments is what triggers you to action.

No, you didn't say "single dempgraphic." You said white males, and that you needed to be convinced it was a good thing they dominate the outdoor industry. That means in your view it would be better if someone else dominated the outdoor industry. Why do you feel that way? The only two choices are that there is a problem with white males, or you believe another group is superior.

That is exactly what you wrote. If you meant something else, you would have written something else.

In the end though, this whole thing doesn't mean anything. MR is simply assigning victimhood where it doesn't exist 100% in hopes of selling more stuff to white liberals. And that is offensive.

Well then hunting tags and draws should be determined under racial quotas just like university admissions, hiring, promotions etc We need to keep the playing field equal . Plus I hate seeing seeing so many white males in the woods, mountains and in sitka, kuiu, Hoyt, Matthews , scenar, Lapua , Seekins, night force, kifaru, seek outside, rockslide .....advertisements .

And another thing, Im growing sick and tired of seeing only privileged white males in avatars on here like trial123's.

Thank God for social courageous justice warriors who clean up our dirty racist nation and its horrid racist history. We need to be more like Europe

 

[thinhorn_AK]

If we diversify hunting is it going to be racist if we don’t give up our spots to minorities or pass on opportunities so minorities can have them???

 

[roadrunner]

Why should I explain to you something that I did not say? This is the same overly-sensitive reaction that people can't seem to think through before posting.

I said dominated by a single demographic. If you think this industry is NOT dominated by white males then I've got a bridge to sell you.

You brought it as though it were a bad thing, cause it ain't.

The only thing overly sensitive is the fact you even had to bring it up...

Seriously. Basketball is mostly black, nobody seems upset about that.

Until i see the full support for all of the Gay one-armed Black nazi bikers for Christ that are being kept out of the woods i will continue to fight the power by eating little debbie cakes and humming metal tunes on my kazoo in my tutu.
Fight the power!

One up that one, you unwoke oppressors!

You could repeatedly wear black face like your leader Trudeau to show you're down with the struggle

My point isn't about breaking down actual impediments that are keeping people from hunting, its about increasing exposure to society as a whole so it isn't vilified, and more people participate in the sport.

In 1991 there were 14 million hunters. In 2016 there were 11.5. This is despite a growing population in the US.

Is it so surprising that hunting is increasingly under attack in this country based on these numbers? There aren't enough people participating. If we don't increase its broad appeal, this sport is dead. Period.

Then your point has nothing to do with the foundation linked in the facebook post that started this thread.

This foundation was created on the basis of people of color being DENIED "equitable and safe access to the outdoors for children, families, and communities of people of color"

This whole concept of people of color being denied equitable and safe access to the outdoors is simply something I have never heard of being an issue since I started enjoying the outdoors once i got a drivers license at age 16 (25 years ago). I have many friends and family that are people of color, and never heard of them experiencing lack of equitable and safe access to the outdoors.

I could see people of color being denied equitable and safe access to the outdoors 75-100 years ago, I just wasn't aware that was an issue in CURRENT times.

Maybe things are different in other states and this is a problem.

Below is directly from the website from the foundation.

OUR MOVEMENT​

"Love is King began as recognition, response and acknowledgement that equality and equity doesn’t exist for people of color. Love is King is leading a movement leading with love and empathy. We’re taking a stand to defend the freedom to roam in nature as a basic human right.
Love is King sees a world where nature’s lessons, beauty, nourishment, healing power and strength are accessible to all people. Love is King is committed to providing equal opportunity to ensure equitable and safe access to the outdoors for children, families, and communities of people of color as a way to improve the physical, mental and spiritual health of the most vulnerable among us. We believe in the power of stories to reframe negative narratives into positive affirmations."

This person can start whatever foundation they want, and spend the all the money raised in whatever way he wants.

Mystery Ranch can support/donate money to who ever they want.

People can buy Mystery Ranch packs based purely of their support of this foundation.

People can choose not to buy the packs based purely of their support of this foundation.

People can talk about them supporting this foundation.

Does Mystery Ranch supporting this foundation make any difference to me? No, I owned one of there packs (Mystery Ranch Crew Cab) a long time ago and sold it after one season and have found others I like better.

Apparently minorities always need a staff of white liberals to tell them what to say, how to think and what hobbies to enjoy.




And just by pure happenstance they decided to do this when the scourge of identity politics is sweeping the nation? Come on.



I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. I suppose it might apply to the people at MR who created that post because they were offended by the demographics of the outdoor community. I came here to discuss yet another outdoor company immersing themselves in left wing politics. If your best contribution is "oh noes you're butt hurt," maybe this isn't the thread for you.




See above. I don't think you know what the word "snowflake" means.



Yep, and that's the point of this thread. I thought others might want to know who they are doing business with.



I'm confused as to why we are judging the merits of the people dominating an industry based on the color of their skin. Can you elaborate? Can you point out any minority dominated industries that you have a problem with based on nothing but race?




Go back and re-read my post. I said I couldn't care less about their politics as long as they keep it separate and apart from their business.



Been lurking here a lot more recently since I've been invited to MT next year to hunt elk.

My comment still stands. Do you call out companies that make political statements that you agree with?

i just think it’s funny when a company supports one political side and everyone is like “companies should keep their politics to themselves” then when a company supports the other side they are haled as hero’s.

That thing on his head looks like a bra a fat chick would wear.

It isn’t an issue now, these companies just want to get some of that market share $$$ from some liberals. I sort of doubt they even believe what they are saying, just chasing the $$$.

They say a populace gets the governance it deserves. Makes me cringe every time i see his traitorous face.

But i still firmly believe little debbie cakes and kazoo solos represent the struggle accurately.

Go back and re-read my post. I said I couldn't care less about their politics as long as they keep it separate and apart from their business.

So, you take issue with every company that donates to the NRA? Guess you don't buy US made guns any more. You also must refuse to us any company that openly states it supports the Second Amendment. Or, do you only take issue with politics not being separated and apart from business if you disagree with those politics?

Buy American made quality packs. If you use those guidelines it rules out mystery ranch. Easy enough.
