I read this story on Drudge and found it confusing. Were these kids kicked out because they were black, or because they weren’t members of a private club?

Truthfully? I don’t care...I suspect there is more to this story than meets the eye...However, occuring in Philadelphia - I just don’t care...

I saw almost the exact same thing happen! When I was a teenager my friend and I were smoking cigarettes trying to look cool at the local park...

And there were all these white kids with their slightly overweight moms playing at the park. Then like 20 black children with NO PARENTS ANYWHERE IN SIGHT kind of like stormed the park. They were like 20 10 years olds boys with cornrows.

Anyway, the white children looked terrified and ran to their moms. And their Moms, perhaps justifiably so, got their kids and got the hell out of there.

If the story is accurate, this is the sort of thing conservatives should condemn, loudly...private club or not.

If true, this stinks.

"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."

Suuuuuuuurrrre they did...

"There was concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion … and the atmosphere of the club,"

Poor choice of words, but did he mean they didn't want dark complected kids, or did he mean that they didn't want a ton of kids. If the nature of the club was adults and kids, then an influx of a whole bunch of kids of any color would definitely change the complexion of the club.

I once had a membership to a local YMCA pool where I would swim laps. Come the summer, and they started busing in poop loads of (mostly white) kids from day care centers. They sure changed the complexion of the water.

I quit. If I wanted to swim in a toilet, I could do it at home.

Hard to spin the story too much in either direction.

No matter what, the school paid for the visit or temp membership for the kids to swim, they showed up and were asked to go.

Could have been rowdy, could have exceeded lifeguard safty limits or......whatever.

It ain’t lookin’ good for the pool folks.

If true this is, in this day and age - absolutely disgusting!

I know that there are still a few people out there who are very racist. Having said that, I would be willing to bet that this account is highly overblown if not made up out of whole cloth. I suspect the campers were causing trouble, being loud and obnoxious, and when action was taken against them, they choose to try to blame it on racism.

If this story is true, steps need to be taken to make sure the people running that pool never do something like this again. Racism is infuriating and unacceptable.

Bbe prepared for a flood of stories like this to hit the news. I think the game plan from Obama is to make blacks look like victims because he is in a crisis himself and needs a major sympathy vote from America.

Give America a week or two of “black discrimination” to flood the media and when Obama has to publicly admit he is an ineligible President it may be enough to counter all the facts and accusations against him.

Make America feel bad for kicking the black person out of the Oval office.

Sounds to me like the Day Camp was playing a big ACORN on the private swim club.

The private swim club most likey did not realize the number of unattended kids would be showing up at once.

See how it works? Now the Swim Club is in trouble and most likely will be shut down or penalized.

This is going to keep happening. The shakedown continues.

I call BS.

There’s something going on we’re not being told.

On the other end of the racial spectrum...
Private proptery rights
(Not a public pool)
Poor planning
Racial accusations..
Missing information
Poor media coverage
Where are the security video tapes

Isn’t this in liberal, tolerant Philly? Nothing to see here then.
