Nah. Private doesn't mean you can deny or cancel memberships based on race. This club is pretty fucked (and fucking stupid).

Obviously, by the way the story was reported, that swim club owner is retarded for his comment about complexion. Maybe if he came up with a different excuse, he wouldn't be in the pile he's in now, and this story would have never surfaced. I lol'ed at the mom's concern though.

What? This makes no sense. If it's a public basketball court, it isn't a "right opinion" to only let a certain group use it, regardless of excuse. So what if the white dudes have "high quality" courts to choose from? That has nothing to do with it.

In short, the two groups are not on equal footing to begin with.

So being poor is a legit excuse to act like a punk?

No, it has everything to do with it. When there are very few places for you to play because you are not welcome anywhere else or do not feel comfortable or safe to play elsewhere how would you feel when some kids came by with ten times the choices you have and instead occupy the court in your neighborhood?

Sure, we are talking about public courts. It's public until you go somewhere you aren't supposed to and get to enjoy a nice polite talk with some police officers because you crossed an imaginary border. Have that happen to you over and over and let me know if it doesn't fuck you up too.

Well considering the white people have 2 loaves of bread and what looks like one can of cola, and the black guy has a fucking garbage bag full of something behind him... yeah.

[Chips]

Stealing bread or beer is the difference between finding and looting.

Edit: Salacious beat me by seconds

Last picture is actual cops looting as well.

Except they didn't kick the white people complaining about the niggers out.

Funny how you argue this hypothetical situation as if it could only have the outcome you need for your argument. How about you just do it, but then the niggers might just let you play in peace on the court. Then your whole world might fall apart, better not take the risk and sit safely behind your computer.

Have you ever visited an American inter-city public basketball court? This is going to sound very ignorant, yet accurate... go watch The Wire.

I dunno, maybe they were rowdy lower-class black children who were screaming their brains out? I know I got in my share of fights with rowdy underprivileged black kids at the local YMCA and the local pool.

The swim club appears to have given them their money back, so now they have to find another pool.

Haven't you guys ever watched American History X? You just play them for it. Even nazi skinheads and gangbanging negros can be brought together by the magic of basketball.
