All three of the city’s public pools lie to the east of Highway 75. Craig Ranch, where the pool party took place, lies well to its west. BuzzFeed reports that the fight broke out when an adult woman told the teens to go back to “Section 8 housing.”
Craig Ranch North is the oldest residential portion of a 2,200 acre master-planned community. “The neighborhood is made up of single-family homes,” says the developer’s website, “and includes a community center with two pools, a park and a playground.” Private developments like Craig Ranch now routinely include pools, often paid for by dues to homeowners’ associations, and governed by their rules. But that, in itself, represents a remarkable shift.
At their inception, communal swimming pools were public, egalitarian spaces. Most early public pools in America aimed more for hygiene than relaxation, open on alternate days to men and women. In the North, at least, they served bathers without regard for race. But in the 1920s, as public swimming pools proliferated, they became sites of leisure and recreation. Alarmed at the sight of women and men of different races swimming together, public officials moved to impose rigid segregation.
As African Americans fought for desegregation in the 1950s, public pools became frequent battlefields.

Per al _c, there has been a trend of these sorts of things going on.

” we (including decent black kids) would hop out immediately when the thugs arrived.”
Reminds me of the swimming pool salt/pepper and dish soap bit.
(whites/blacks and Mexicans)
No only do you pay to use the facilities, you probably own a pro-rata share of them with all the other homeowners.
also, per the CR HOA rules posted here :
there is a limit of 20 people per pool party.
20 people.
there were way more than that, after that tweet went out...

On another thread concerning the animals rioting in Baltimore I posted that the black community was better off when they still had a sense of honor, religion and community. Then came LBJ's plan to again enslave blacks.
Ebony took me to task for that without even reading what I posted. So, on this thread, I invited him to respond.
You don't know what you're talking about.
You people need to figure out what's going on before you chime in with nonsense.
