HUNTINGDON VALLEY, Pa. (July 9) - Members and officials of a private swimming pool in a predominantly white Philadelphia suburb reacted to a visiting group of minority children by asking them not to return and pulling other kids out of the water, a day camp director said, and the state is investigating.

The Creative Steps camp in northeast Philadelphia had contracted for the 65 children at the day camp to go each Monday afternoon to The Valley Club in Huntingdon Valley, camp director Alethea Wright said Thursday. But shortly after they arrived June 29, she said, some black and Hispanic children reported hearing racial comments.


Do black people swim anyways?  :smug

I think it's because when black people go in the water some of their "black" comes off so really it wasn't racist, the white people just didn't want to get all "black".

Borys has probably never seen a black person

This is sad, but I wouldn't expect anything else out of white affluence  :-\

Private pool.

I'm guessing affiliated with the HOA (I despise these, but whatever) and paid for by residents.

But more importantly, private pool.

Why do white people continue to question this?

When you're on the run from da popo and you come across a river bank, you'd had best know how to swim. This is why in the negro community, we teach them kids swimming lessons at a young age. This is especially true in the south because of swamps and shit.

Why do you think they added swimming as a feature in Grand Theft Auto when the series had a black main character?

Self explanatory.

A negro who doesn't know how to swim is like an asian who doesn't like rice. It ain't happenin.

Normally in cases like this, the offending company usually has a good stance, like "They were causing shit" or "Check bounced" but overestimating the number of kids? That sounds pretty fucking shitty considering what else you could do to alleviate the issue.

It just sounds like it was a bigoted community and loved money until richer people complained.

"There was concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion … and the atmosphere of the club," John Duesler, President of The Valley Swim Club said in a statement.

SMH


Especially considering that their website used to say:

Quote
Our club over-looks the entire Huntingdon Valley from it's hilltop location and features the following amenities:

A 110,000 gallon L-shaped swimming pool
A seperate wading pool for our youngest members
Spacious lawns for the kids (and adults) to play

A full-service snack bar
Men's and Women's locker rooms and showers
A newly installed $15,000 playset for the children
Basketball courts, paved and sand volleyball courts
Shuffleboard courts and horseshoe pits
Softball fields
...and much more!

Sounds like they don't have a problem with lots of children!

when i was the pool nazi at my apartment complex for a couple of summers, i used to have to run non-residents out of the area two or three times a week

95% of the time it was black kids from the surrounding neighborhood

i felt terrible about it since they were almost always well-behaved, and i just knew they thought i was a racist asshole

on the other hand, my rent was 1/2 price for those two seasons, so fuck em

Who the hell goes swimming in a stranger's pool Eel? Much less having parents who condone their kids to swim in an unsupervised pool of someone they don't know? damn..

Not true. GTA:VCS' Vic Vance can swim. In short, until GTA IV only black people could swim.

I wanted to make a fake movie poster showing Tommy Vercetti and Vic Vance for WHITE MAN CAN'T JUMP SWIM.

What's "da popo"?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebonics
Quote from: wiki
Ebonics resurfaced in American popular culture, for a moment at least, when the term was the question to an answer on the American quiz show Jeopardy!. When presented with the answer "It's a colloquial term for Black English", contestant Ken Jennings (whose run on the show broke records) replied "What be Ebonics?".

Pfft.  Everyone knows that black people long jump over riverbanks when they're being chased by the police.
