Ohio Landlord Refuses To Apologize For Posting ‘White Only' Pool Sign Because It's ‘Historical'

By Marie Diamond on Dec 16, 2011 at 1:00 pm

Figures it was from Alabama. Sigh. I remember those signs at my local public swimming pool. What a racist piece of trash!

Many pools ask (or require) that you shower before you get into the pool. All the things women use these days, from mousse to lotions, can cloud the water. Her remark about the "chemicals" the black girl used was just an excuse for her to continue her racist ways.

Using the "historical" defense is indefensible and just a way for her to dodge the complaint. Historical items like this belong in museums (i.e. the Civil Rights Museum) which can present them in the proper context with explanations about the content, not on a pool available to the tenants. LOL, I see she doesn't mind taking money from a black person in the form of rent. 

Hmmm... does that mean we can all go over to her place and dump milk in her pool?
It's white.

Edit: No chocolate milk, please.

Is it just me or do people feel "safer" vocalizing their racism these days? Does it have anything to do with our current President and the underlying hatred of so many people, just because he's black?   See next post too.
