also, try actually reading up on what happened, not going by what ONE news source says. thats like watching Faux News and then saying Bush was a great president.

although, upon viewing the writer's websites and post histories, im not surprised he gave such a one sided view. he's borderline racist against whites himself (and im being generous with my statement).

yawn. it wasnt racist. the pool was full. its just a bunch of black people trying to make a scene by imagining that the decision to turn away 60 people (when they had told the pool it was 30 kids, not 60) was racially based just to make a scene.

its another case of the black man trying to make people believe the white man is keeping him down.

CHEMISTRY.­.. Hmmm... check the urine samples of people using a pool. Betcha black, Hispanics or Whites's excretion samples aren't different than our brother's lab testingresults as to which urine comes from whom.. Eyesight acknowledges differentces of mankind? Lab report readings don't know urine samples to be of Blacks, Whites or Hispanics. Our prejudices tell us differently. Exhaustive conversation in America already...­.. he who pays his taxes and helps his neighbors there's no difference within a smile, handshake or cooperation. Transitional society is exhaustive to an already accepting mind.

Liberals openly talk about their sexual preferences and practices, so what's wrong with discussing one's racial preferences and practices?

They didn't deserve that. I do know I feel hurt and disappointed that any child despite the color of their skin would be discriminated against.

"When did this kind of stuff come back into fashion?"

That's what I want to know. Sure, plenty of people have been thinking racist thoughts all along but they never would have dared to say them out loud until very recently. It's time to stuff the fringe back into the closet and never let them out ever again. Gays, you can come out. We need to make lots of room in there for these Christian white supremacists.

The subject is not funny but this commentary is. :D Great job, Elon.

Racism is not just alive, it is prevalent in many parts of the country. How else could a Republican get elected?

I am so proud of NBC10 and NBC nightly news to highlight this story. I live in Northeast Philadelphia and work in Philly suburbs. I work in a white only company. Our head of HR calls the trash collector people as N....
These are the same people who greeted John McCain and Sara Palin with pom poms.

I've lived in Philadelphia AND Alabama and guess what? Same place same racism.

"Change the complexion?" Hmmm. Maybe the management was afraid the kis' color would wash off in the pool water.
Racism is alive and kickin'.

And always will be.
