I won't be a max level racist until I hire a non caucasian illegal to keep it clean.

We put in a pool about 10 years ago thinking our granddaughter would come use it. We now have a second granddaughter. They use it occasionally but not as much as we thought they would. I can, with hand on the Bible, swear that a black person did not enter my mind once in deciding to put in a pool. It's too damn much work and expense and would not recommend a backyard pool to anyone.

Same thing with everything else. If all you see is politics, then everything is politics.

If you think about the devil all the time, then everyone is a fricking devil or demon.

You’re racist.

Not having a backyard pool is “cultural appropriation.”

Now pay your reparations to me.

I self identify as a black lesbian and to prove it, I think Halle Berry is hot.

She is full of shite. Ask any gen X about how they learned to swim. Most of them will tell you a family member threw them in a pool. Swim or sink.

If you have to ask, that makes it a racist question. Why? 'cause you white, that's why, cracker jack.

She looks like if she jumped in the pool, the water would jump out.

None of that adds up to concluding a white person in 2026 is a racist for having a pool. Stop defending piss poor conclusions.

Interesting that the YouTube page this is posted to is called "Africa speaks". Methinks some white (probably Jewish) girl is trying to culturally appropriate

I sometimes wonder if there is anything I do that isn’t racist.


Are you white? If so, then the answer is no. You are always racist, and everything you do is racist.

Correct, it does not.

But it is an objective fact that the closing of public pools to prevent integration led to the popularity of private pool construction. This is a recent history issue.

Google "Palmer v. Thompson" and read about it. The US Supreme Court case is from 1971. The court held that the closure of public pools rather than allow integration was not a violation of the equal protection clause. The other thing the municipality did was transfer a couple pools to private ownership so that they could stay open and segregated. This case greenlit the closure of public pools all across the country, and especially the south, to make sure that non-whites couldn't swim with white people. And that led to a boom in construction of private pools.

That was 1971. 1971!!!

You are correct that this case was decided five years before you were born. But damn, 1971 is not ancient history.

The amount of denialism in this thread is shocking. The video linked in the OP presents this as a historical issue, meaning this is the history of the situation. There is absolutely a racist and segregationist very recent history to the shift from large public pools to private pools.

Do you think any minorities built pools at their homes or was it only ‘white’ people? Do you see how ridiculous this is?
