Snooty White Bigots at Valley Swim Club Demand Black Children Be Booted.
It sounds like something that would happen in the Deep South in the 1950s. Instead it’s 2009 and it happened in Philadelphia. While it’s a private organization, The Valley Swim Club advertises open membership and took $1900 from Creative Steps Day Camp so its campers could swim there. But the first day the campers tried to do so the privileged racists at the club got their bikinis in a twist.
…..
“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.
…..
Oh FFS. Such astounding bigotry and stupidity should really be painful to her, not just to others.
“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.”
Really, WTF is wrong with those people?
“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.
Now I see where they’re coming from. I managed to come across one of their recent membership photos and he’s right. All those “minority” kids would change the complexion and atmosphere of the club. ![]()
