Private Pool Club Kicks Out Minority Kids Who Might "Change The Complexion" (VIDEO)

A potentially upsetting story coming out of Philadelphia: a group of 60 young campers, many of them minorities, were told to leave a private swimming club apparently because of their race.

Some of the disheartening details:

"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."

The Creative Steps Day Camp's membership was suspended by the swimming club and the money they paid to join was refunded.

If this story is true, then forget about the swimming lessons kids- lets learn about protests, civil rights and how to make corporations and businesses listen to you buy completely destroying their cash flow and in effect their business.

Good Luck, stay strong and focused- shut that pool down

Wow, what year are we in again, 2009 or 1963? I hope a nice lawsuit against that private club comes out of this.

There is no other options but to fight those rascist, lowlife slobs.
