Haven't read the story yet? A mostly white, suburban club outside Philadelphia rented their pool to a camp. The camp showed up full of black and brown children, parents took their kids out of the water, and the camp was told not to return. Find the article on Philadelphia's NBC.
First, the club said that "there was a concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion... and atmosphere of the club". Way to cover your ass! When you're a racist in a "post-racial" society, you should be a little smooth. Maybe leave out the part about not liking the kids' complexions.
Outrageous? Yes. Surprising? Not so much. Who thinks racism really disappeared? All the black and brown kids happen to go to an inner city club by chance? The suburban club is almost all white by chance? Please.
