Pure racism: Black Children Rejected From Philly Pool*Video*
July 9th, 2009 | Author: admin
This story makes my blood boil. All people who claim blacks won’t let go of America’s racist past needs to see this clip.Racism clearly still isn’t going anywhere. This is down right cruel…..
More than 60 campers from Northeast Philadelphia were turned away from a private swim club and left to wonder if their race was the reason. “I heard this lady, she was like, ‘Uh, what are all these black kids doing here?’ She’s like, ‘I’m scared they might do something to my child,’” said camper Dymire Baylor.
The Creative Steps Day Camp paid more than $1900 to The Valley Swim Club. The Valley Swim Club is a private club that advertises open membership. But the campers’ first visit to the pool suggested otherwise.
“When the minority children got in the pool all of the Caucasian children immediately exited the pool,” Horace Gibson, parent of a day camp child, wrote in an email. “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.” The next day the club told the camp director that the camp’s membership was being suspended and their money would be refunded. “I said, ‘The parents don’t want the refund. They want a place for their children to swim,’” camp director Aetha Wright said.
Campers remain unsure why they’re no longer welcome. “They just kicked us out. And we were about to go. Had our swim things and everything,” said camper Simer Burwell. The explanation they got was either dishearteningly honest or poorly worded. “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. While the parents await an apology, the camp is scrambling to find a new place for the kids to beat the summer heat.

@lois collins
you really need help..bless you because your very ill
Please stop it with the name calling, I am not sick or a racist,bigot.We are simply not accustomed to non-whites around here.We are fearful they may bring with them a criminal element,too. You know how dangerous black communities are.You never hear of white teensgers carrying gunds and shooting up the place after an argument over drugs or sex.These black kids are dangerous and do not belong here!
I simply do not get it….in this day and age in 2009,why can’t people simply live together in peace with mutual respect? So what if the children from camp that arrived at the supposedly “All-White” swim club in Pennsylvania were black. Are they not human beings and beautiful little children,too? I am sure they were well supervised and nice little well behaved kids. It is only ignorance that made the adults and kids jump out of the pool,thinking the black children smelled funny or something weird like that….what nonsense!
@ Maxine
So, I guess you never heard of Columbine? How many black teenagers have you heard of walking into a school and shooting the entire classroom and lunch room up? All of these incidents in the papers of teenage boys going to school with semi-automatic guns and killing their school mates and teachers in both Europe and United States are white! There are NO cases of black kids doing this in recent memory..not on that scale! To make matters worse..these kids all lived in suburbia, well hidden for the evil claws of dirty black people..so what is their excuse?
I get the feeling that your a man who is over 50 who cannot get over the fact that blacks are equal to whites now and we have a black president. You miss the Jim Crow days when you could call us nigger and treat us like animals and be free to hate. Now your starting to let your fear of blacks actually making it into your community pool a rally cry for Jim Crow rejects like yourself.
Sorry old man but the world has changed and is continously changing for the better each day, and your just a sorry bitter washed up bigot who cannot change with it. Your OLD, your ideas are OLD, and karma will make sure that at least one of your offsrping will bring you home a sweet little bi-racial black grandchild for you to meet!
Keep hating innocent children and see what will happen to your wretched soul!
