'Whites Only' swimming pool still exists! WTF?

-The commission initially found the sign reinforced "discrimination actions"
-The defendant has asked the commission to reconsider its earlier ruling

Racism lives on... as for the "reasoning" for the sign, I know a lot of white people who still load their hair full of shit like it's 1985.

making the pool 'cloudy' because she used chemicals in her hair

I see a potential method for non-violent protest...

 

[soccerballtux]

the sign is black though so secaretly the blacks are winning

 

[PottedMeat]

wat?

"Complainant states that the owner, Jamie Hein, accused his daughter of making the pool 'cloudy' because she used chemicals in her hair," the commission said in its summary.

Ohio is a red state so it's what the people want.

frankly i don't care if this pool said blacks only (knowing that would never make news) cause i know that not only will i never go to this pool anyway, that i wouldnt care if i wanted to cause there are other pools i can go to. Yet amazingly, people who live thousands of miles away from this pool all must have an opinion, except Asians, its like they don't give a crap when it comes to local trivial's. priorities people..this pool is not one.

It is not actually a public swimming pool. It is a private one owned by the guy who is renting out the two halves of his duplex (for those who do not know, a duplex is a single family home that has a wall down the center and each half is built with everything needed to be a seperate home...so essentially a two unit townhouse).

Even the picture makes it obvious it is not actualy a public pool.


The owner is still a racist jerk, but it is nothing like what people are claiming it to be.

there was a recycling bin at work that said "white paper only"

i was so tempted to write "that's racist!" thinking of the animated gif, hehe

If part of the rental agreement is use of the pool then it is exactly what people are making it to be. The fact they are renting out a duplex is irrelevent if their tenancy agreement states use of the pool. The landlord can not limit the access based on race.

I would also think since its a rental he has to fallow the discrimination laws. this i would think is against that.

now if it was his pool in his backyard then yeah.

Agreed. But it is most certainly not a public pool.

The question is, did the landlord tell them they cannot allow their black friends in the pool, or did he simply post a racist sign on his privately owned pool? Or, and this is more likely, does it matter at all, since the sign could be called intimidation (due to it being a rental property and not his own personal home)?

I bet the owner of the pool is a fan of Ron Paul's.

Racism is overstated. it's natural.

this man with the sign is within his personal property rights.

And this is reason number one million fifty two why no one takes you seriously.

I would agree if he hadn't rented out the property. once he did that his "personal property rights" have to fall within the law.

 

[HAL9000]

Jesus that shit wouldn't be allowed around here.

 

[RabidMongoose]

I think in some countries, like the UK, it would definitely be celebrated, especially since they already do that to their head of state.

 

[Lemon law]

As soon as the white landlord posted the whites only sign, he violated every FEDERAL fair housing discrimination law in the nation.

If the landlord wants to charge rent to his tenants, he gives up all his claim that the pool is private property.

The landlord can have one or the other but not both.

And why the state of Ohio should pass preliminary judgment may be a matter of States right formality, but the very second Ohio rules for the landlord, the Federal justice department will simply take over jurisdisction, and dope slap the State of Ohio and the landlord at the same time. There are fines and penalities that can result fron violating civil rights laws, and the whites only sign makes it a slam dunk case..

Now on the other hand, a totally private party can build such a pool and invite guests over free gratis. And post whites only signs with inpunity. But as soon as such a party charges a single nickel of fees, it becomes a public accomidation subject to all Federal civil rights laws.

My god

He is one of the many and ever expanding on my ignore list.

I normally don't see such filth and disgust unless someone quotes it.

I am glad I do not see their crap on a regular basis.

The country and the world would be so much better without them.

I take him seriously. You need to take these de-assimilated Americans very seriously or else they will destroy everything.

And I'm well within MY rights to think that sign makes him a giant, bigoted douche.

Personally, I think he is a democrat...and a fan of the late Democrat Senator Byrd.

The president is racist, but since blind ultra libs like yourself honestly believe that only whites are capable of racism, you dont see it.
He proved it his first week in office with the college police incident. His advisers told him to apologize and then keep his mouth shut, but the damage was done. Those who arent blinded by the almighty democrat messiah knew exactly what he was all about.
