so the idiot’s actually said “change the complexion”…you know I at first blew off reading the story I thought ehh bs but I just read you post and you are CORRECT that WE need to go full bore on this kinda of crap!

The racial hustlers make up so much bs that my immediate reaction is to just go past the stories but when it is obvious and it is blatant and most of all to me that these children are getting a taste of what should have been gone decade’s ago just riles me up. I want to state for the record that there has been racism of all different types of Americans (Italians, Polish, Irish) who are WHITE and black racism and hispanics and our brand new reverse racism right Ms. Sotomeyer?…IT IS NEVER ACCEPTABLE!!!

When we move past this kind of RANK behavior then we here in the United States of America will NEVER have to hear from the idiots like Sharpton and Jackson….who btw should be on a plane there for protests in the morning! They gotta make their money somehow it’s not like they really give a crap.

so I’m going to start off by saying that I agree, absolutely with the outrage. In fact, I think anybody who is a member of this club ought to revoke their membership NOW (assuming, of course, that they didn’t KNOW this was a club for racist jerks).

We ought to be very public and very vocal in expressing disgust and outrage.

But on a legal level, even if there was something we WANTED to do (like prosecuting them), SHOULD we?

As disgusting as it is, I believe in a nation where people have the right to behave as douchebags if they so choose. So yeah, boycott the hell out of these people, but on a freedom level, I would say we need to leave the law out of it.

I just have to wonder if this was due to the behavior of the children. Walk into a suburban school outside of Philly and walk into a school inside Philly. After you remove your phone and keys for the metal detector look around. Compare the two they are WORLDS apart.

Some kids are loud, some kids do not know how to behave in public. You can’t deny the difference between the two. I don’t mean money or material things I mean how people act, a basic sense of civility. It might just be a fascade with the suburban kids but they really act more civil for the most part. Now this is NOT speaking for every child in every situation but you really can’t deny it when you see it in large groups.

I wonder if the children were loud or something. I see the other side of this. It’s unfortunate the certain behaviors and racial terms are used interchangibly and that is wrong of him to use the word complexion and but I do see the other side as far as MAYBE why they would be asked to leave. Now it could be the behavior was fine and he is just a racist SOB. Imagine though, if the noise level is kind of ok and then maybe all of a sudden children that are louder than most and appear disruptive to the other parents come into the pool.

The pool can’t control what other parents say. I think it’s a parents right if they want their kid not to swim with someone that is blue or green or white or black to pull their kids out. If a parent feels their kid is in danger they should remove them and not go against their instinct because they don’t want to appear not PC.

Of course the children could have been acting like the norm there and the daycare workers had good control of the group and they really just are racist bunch kicking them out but I see a possibility of another side of this.

those Black Panther poll watchers at the gates to this facility.

That “complexion” comment has to be the worst choice of words I’ve ever seen used. What an idiot! Now no doubt they’ll be scrambling to say how it was “taken out of context”.

until another report comes out. Was the quoted parent an eyewitness, or is he relying on the impressions of the counselors (teenagers?) running the camp? Will the pool official ask for a retraction because of being misquoted?

The reason I say this is because when we lived in military (ethnically heterogeneous) housing, the arrival of the day camp would clear the families with young children out of the base pool, exactly like the article described. Now we live in a civilian neighborhood and our local private pool also hosts day camp kids. I will not take my family there until after they are gone for the day because with teenager versus parental supervision, they are a little rowdy.

Sixty children excitedly entering the pool for the first time of the summer can be overwhelming. The two pools I mentioned have capacities of 480 and 250 people respectively. If the Phila pool is a similar size to either, 60 children would represent a sizable percentage.

I am not saying that racism was not a factor. I am not saying that racism was involved. I am saying to seek clarification before taking action.
