Not really. It's a natural reaction in a place that's less than 95% white and less than 1% black. If 60 white kids had tried to go swimming in an area that was 95% black, what do you think would happen?

There's always going to be discrimination based on race.

No, actually it really is sad. Not necessarily surprising, but still sad.

So, how long before Jackson/Sharpton get involved?

Although they have the right to cater to anyone they want, they screwed up on this one.

"The pool attendants came and told the black children that they did not allow minorities in the club and needed the children to leave immediately."

Private club or not, this is a bunch of crap.

And you don't think that's sad? I do.

I think it's sad. I was referring to "in this day and age." It's no more sad in this day and age than it was 50 years ago, or will be 50 years in the future.

 

[ModerateRepZero]

be interesting to find out what'll happen as the story develops

Racism is not natural.

In group/out group hostility has been around since social animals came to be. It is absolutely natural to classify all other living entities based on apparent similarity to yourself and to place yourself among those with whom you identify most closely. After all, their needs will likely coincide with your own. Racism is an expression of a facet of the social instincts we all have. Whether or not racism and the tribal urges behind it are actually best for us in this day and age is another story entirely. I think it is yet another misfiring instinct that served a useful purpose when the human living situation was different, but will soon fall by the wayside in these times of ethnic mixing.

Racism in Philly? Unpossible.

Yep, free market at work. Keep out black kids = more business from racist whites. It's actually positive free advertising for them, if you think about it that way. This is why racist whites gravitate towards economic conservativism and hate 'big government' initiatives like the civil rights act (which is supposed to curtail racist abuses like this).

As opposed to the rich, "free-minded" liberals with Volvos and Priuses parked in their driveways who make sure to live as far away from diversity as possible and send their kids to prep schools.

Meanwhile, the gun-toting racist redneck white trash has no money and lives in town with the blacks and hispanics, and all their kids play together.

 

[91TTZ]

I think a lot of the posters here aren't familiar with North Philly. It's a rough place and I wouldn't want the people from there hanging out near me, either. If you'd like to hear feelgood stories about polite black kids hanging out and having a good time, you're going to have to find them somewhere other than North Philly.

The Klan meeting ended early, 91TTZ?

 

[Rebasxer]

I know if I paid a lot of money for access to a pool, I wouldn't want 60 black kids running around while I was there, screaming n-word this n-word that, cussing and generally being disrespectful. I've worked summer programs with "under privileged youths" and the only reason it was bearable was because I could at least tell myself I was trying to make a difference. If this was the case at my local swimming pool, I'd probably cancel my membership.

Oh and there are black swim clubs, any white person try going to one of those inner city community pools and tell me what happens. You'll feel extremely uncomfortable at the least and be hospitalized and robbed at the worse.

Just because I'm not a whiny bleeding heart liberal like you doesn't make me a racist. I tell it like it is which makes many (mainly white) PC-Nazi's fume in false outrage.

With an attitude like that I sure hope you're really a black dude. If it turns out that you one of those privileged white crackers with rich parents who listens to Rage Against the Machine and thinks you're fighting "the man" I'm going to lose it.

Can't you do everyone a favor and play in the street or something?

 

[n yusef]

Yes, 91TTZ, you are a racist. Good news though, you got yourself a buddy in Rebasxer.

Did you guys learn to hate from your parents?

Gee i wonder how conservatives feel about this... lets check the drudge report comments (blatantly ripped off of SA's LF forum):

Private club can do what ever they want, if they say no blacks so be it, same goes for whites. I've seen many black only clubs around.

maybe if they did not act like thugs all the time people would not treat them that way...not racist just the truth...blacks need to change how people look at them...change our mindset about them being thugs

they've ruined the public pool in nockamixon state park by busing in hundreds of the "underpriveledged" everyday to swim.they dont know how to behave and it drives out the locals (mostly white) who would otherwise use that pool.the locals even know what time the buses leave so they can swim after the poor underpriveledged get their taxpayer funded freebie day in the burbs.get a clue,we moved out here away from the city to get far away from exactly that element.so ya gotta import em?

Wow - where is this club. Sounds like they have the right idea. I wish more places would follow these rules. Imagine going to the movies, the mall, amusement parks etc., It would be so much better....

Umm, tell me why WE should have to take care of these kids. Why should I, who have kids myself have to look after ghetto trash whose parents dont look after them at all. Maybe if THEIR parents(mom) knew how to discipline and not spend all day on the porch or watching TV, then these kids would know how to behave.

Black people can swim? Strange.Black people can swim? Strange.

Don't want to hear it. In my lil town the blacks have taken over the City Pool. The Older Black Guys are way to big to be in the Pool, it's suppose to be for kids. But either way, the blacks come early and they only take the 1st 150, so the white kids are out. Just another way for the blacks to game the system. Oh yea, this was not covered by Obama's State-Run Media.

There is no story here. This is a private establishment. They reserve the right to kick people out as they see fit. There is probably language in the agreement that specifically states this. The daycare received their money back in full. What are we talking about here?

this is another reason why we this this way about your kind.. it is always about a financial burden and calling the NAACP.. we don't have a white group to protect us... in school there was a black student union but the whites couldn't have one that is fair

I don't believe this for one minute. I can guarantee this person has a mistake of fact, is lying, or intentionally misleading others with this statement. No matter how you slice it, this statement reeks of falsehood. Just like Al Sharpton and the Brawley case. Never happened.

ever been in a theatre with a bunch of black folks? Probably the same thing. I'd get out to, unless I was drunk...ever been in a theatre with a bunch of black folks? Probably the same thing. I'd get out to, unless I was drunk...

hruth is because of how most not all of the black community acts people do not want them aronud...not being racist...just do not want trouble makers...maybe if more acted like obama and had him as their role modle and maybe better parenst...people would not act this wat towards blacks...change how you act and people will change how they look at you...stop blaming other people for looking at you like thugs if you act like thugs

Ah...let them in...they destroyed the rest of the city..we should just pick up and leave let them have the whole city to themselves!

60 black kids in a pool? Not a good look.. Very unsafe for everyone - including themselves.. There's a difference between racism and common sense.. I think common sense was used here..

WHAT???? Did you ever leave the second grade? No wonder no one will hire you. Stop speaking ebonics. When black people start behaving like civilized human beings, then other races will have respect for them. Until that day happens, this is how most people will treat you. Even the poorest of people can self educate themselves. Start now by opening a book. Change your outlook in life and maybe then you'll find a job.

What decade did I wake up in? I'm a white Republican, but reading this story and the comments has me sitting here in disbelief. Is this real?

they are not criminals yet! give it time, half of them will end up selling drugs, in jail or deadthey are not criminals yet! give it time, half of them will end up selling drugs, in jail or dead

Abraham Lincoln knew that segregation, even full movement and relocation of post slavery blacks was the right thing to do after emancipation. Quite frankly, short of that, Americans should have been involved from the immediate release of these folks in their appropriate grafting in. No one deserves to be a slave and that's well established. However, blacks in America have had centuries of impoverished and depraved culture with few making it out of the lifestyle. It was wrong to simply just free them and then make no immediate reparations. Now, ghettos, projects, entire areas of towns are over run by impoverished criminal blacks in which most will never, ever adjust to civilized life in America, and are now one of the primary failures of American history. I'm white, and I'm not racist, but the culture divide will always exist. Whites will always stereotype blacks as part of the criminal or impoverished undereducated majority. I'm not implicating anything at this point as it's too late. I don't beilive any reparations, apologies, welfare programs, ministers, charities, or programs will save poor blacks. In fact placating them with welfare only makes them dependant on others and leaves them with little to no work ethic. The black stereotype Is a problem that's here to stay and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

yes, all liberals are rich racists and all conservatives are poor and tolerant, and rednecks are tolerant of people of other color... you've cracked the code!
