I'll be sure to let the 3 blacks families with pools in my neighborhood know that they are racists.

Well yeah, that’s likely true. It’s perfectly normal too. They ruin everything. Makes perfect sense that people would still want to use pools and not have to deal with them. They are the main driver of real estate sales for a reason.

I said I would never install my own pool…showed up to our neighborhood pool one afternoon, we are all excited to swim and hang out…pool shuts down because some kid shite in it…I said frick this and built a pool…very happy with that decision 6 years later.

Oh and also I didn’t want my kids swimming with black kids.

I don’t even need the pool to be racist.

lol no. We went to community pools when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s. They were poorly maintained because it was the government and everyone else’s kids - black and white - were pretty nasty.

Which is why I’m literally typing this post from the hot tub next to my backyard pool.

I learned to swim in the public pool.

I got jumped for my soda money in the locker room.

I wont describe the assailants because that would be racism?

Soo wait... If I don't have a pool that's all I need to do to not be racist?

Narax, son! If your name is Henry you are a male. But not being named Henry is not all you need to be female.

did you know that backyard pools have a racist origin??


No I didn't, nor was racism involved at all in my decision to install a pool You can call me ignorant, but not racist.

Furthermore, I don't feel bad today for having a pool. That was a problem for guys in the past that made it racist. Not modern day people trying to stay cool that couldn't give a hoot.

Why does anyone take people like this seriously??

Everything is racist when that's all you look for. It's like being a hammer and everything you see is a nail.

This thread is like a communal celebration of complete ignorance about our recent American history.

Public pools were completely segregated whites only facilities during my lifetime. Federal desegregation laws mandated desegregation. At the moment, public pools closed rather than integrate. That’s when we joined a private club. There were no black people at the club.

Spend a half hour looking into this. Reject stupidity.

Hahaha. I wish I would have seen this post before I spent a couple of hours out in the pool with the family.

I'll take a moment of silence tomorrow to recognize my privilege and then jump on in.
