Private swim club kicks out campers after they realize they are black, refund money

Theres white people in philly?

I watched the video and I gotta say this doesnt seem like one of those cry wolf racism cases, this seems legit. This will probably ruin the club and that will be a good thing.

the last lines in the article indicate that a "single membership is $395 a year".

1950$ sounds like a steep discount for 65 memberships.

Yeah, they're called 'group rates'.

And their membership wasn't for a whole year either

But if that is what their membership wants out of the club, I don't think the negative publicity will effect their cashflow.

There members probably dont want this sort of negative attention and will look elsewhere I think.

I'm quite unfamiliar with the area, so i'll defer. It does make sense that people wouldn't want to go to a club that now has the appearance of requiring a hood for membership.

Another bastion of white privilege falls....

PHILADELPHIA – A private suburban swim club accused of racism after it canceled the memberships of dozens of minority children says it will seek a meeting with the kids' camps to work out an agreement for them to return.

Amy Goldman, a member of The Valley Club, said those able to attend a hastily called meeting Sunday afternoon voted unanimously in support of reinstating the memberships of the Creative Steps day camp and two other camps as long as safety issues, times and terms can be agreed upon.

Who wants to swim there now?

If it were my kid, i'd make him drink a ton of water and not let him use the bathroom b/f going to the pool.

And they told me only minorities acted like that!

These liberals are all the same... They pretend to be so open-minded and accepting but you see how they act when it comes home to their neighborhood... or in this case, their swim club.

You expect this stuff out in blue collar Mechanicsburg.

I knew the pressure and guilt would make, em crack, before the meeting is over those campers with have a pool for life.

The only question is will the snack-bar be included.
