PHILADELPHIA SWIMMING CLUB: Black and Brown Kids Not Allowed

This is just plain shameful!
Like a scene out of Jaws, members/parents/officials at a predominantly White suburban-ish Philly swimming club turned told a group of visiting minority KIDS!!! to go home — and never come back!
The 60 kids were members of the Creative Steps summer camp and arrived at the Valley Club pool in Huntington Valley, PA late last month only to find themselves the object of ridicule, bigotry and abuse.
White parents pulled their kids out of the water, Club officials told camp counselors to take their campers home and the kids themselves were subject to vocal racist taunts.
F-cked up!
Luckily, the State of Pennsylvania apparently agrees and is investigating the club on charges of illegal discrimination.
The Club is of course going into defence mode — saying it was overcrowding and not over-coloring that made them wanna their pool emptied.
Uh-huh.
We suppose that’s why Valley Club President John Duesler later expressed concern that so many children would “change the complexion” or atmosphere of the club!
