Racists crawling from under the rocks

Pool Boots Kids Who Might "Change the Complexion"

"I heard this lady, she was like, 'Uh, what are all these black kids doing here?' She's like, 'I'm scared they might do something to my child,'" said camper Dymire Baylor.

The Creative Steps Day Camp paid more than $1900 to The Valley Swim Club. The Valley Swim Club is a private club that advertises open membership. But the campers' first visit to the pool suggested otherwise.

"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 next day the club told the camp director that the camp's membership was being suspended and their money would be refunded.

"I said, 'The parents don't want the refund. They want a place for their children to swim,'" camp director Aetha Wright said.

Campers remain unsure why they're no longer welcome.

"They just kicked us out. And we were about to go. Had our swim things and everything," said camper Simer Burwell.

The explanation they got was either dishearteningly honest or poorly worded.

"There was concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion … and the atmosphere of the club," John Duesler, President of The Valley Swim Club said in a statement.

While the parents await an apology, the camp is scrambling to find a new place for the kids to beat the summer heat.

Pair find racial threat painted on driveway

A couple leaving their home in Shreveport's Pinecroft subdivision found "KILL WHITEY" written in spray paint on their driveway Wednesday evening.

"It's not vandalism; it's flat out racism or a threat," Clifton Hair said Thursday afternoon, pointing at the white letters about a foot tall outside the gate at his residence in the 2100 block of McCutcheon Avenue.

"Why? What did we do? Just because we're white?" the 69-year-old asked. "I can't conceivably think of anything I could have done to offend anybody of any color to have this happen."

Hair reported the incident to Shreveport police as a hate crime Thursday morning. The case is in line to be assigned to a detective in the Police Department's special investigations office to check out Hair's claim, Shreveport police Cpl. Bill Goodin said.

In his report, officer T.M. Lee refers to the phrase as a "threatening and racist statement" and classifies the case as simple criminal property damage. An additional penalty would be added to any criminal charge if the action is determined to be a hate crime, Goodin said.

Hair suspects the words were painted on his driveway sometime after he, his wife, and his mother-in-law went to bed at 11 p.m. Tuesday.

Hair said his four dogs, which sleep inside, usually bark when the security light on the driveway illuminates. But the dogs never barked and he never awoke Tuesday night, he said.

"The undertones of it are serious," Hair said of the incident, adding that he plans to reposition the security light and add another at the front of his house.

"This has nothing to do with race," member Lori Slowinski said. "I paid my money for a private swim club…if they're gonna have it out to camps, then I want my money back."

Jim Flynn went right to the club president after the kids took the plunge into the pool. "I was the first person to talk to the president, because the pool was overcrowded," said Flynn. "As members we have nothing to hide. There's good people here."

The club issued this statement late Thursday, responding to the allegations of racism:


The Valley Club is deeply troubled by the recent allegations of racism, which are completely untrue.

We had originally agreed to invite the camps to use our facility, knowing full well that the children from the camps were from multi-ethnic backgrounds. Unfortunately, we quickly learned that we underestimated the capacity of our facilities and realized that we could not accommodate the number of children from these camps. All funds were returned to the camps and we will re-evaluate the issue at a later date to determine whether it can be feasible in the future.

Our Valley Club deplores discrimination in any form, as is evidenced by our multi-ethnic and diverse membership. Whatever comments may or may not have been made by an individual member is an opinion not shared by The Valley Club Board.

If this is true , 100% paying member PRIVATE CLUB....they can make their own rules and regs...and they have to abide by them all the time, not make any exceptions whatsoever.



BUT....by this so called private club, contracting out to Day Camp, they basically broke their own regs and rules regarding privacy to their paying members.

It sounds as if they were wanting money by doing this contracting with kids camps.

When you run or are a part of those type clubs...you can't pick and choose when you are private and when you are not. If you do, this is what happens.


What the guy said to the little boy was horrible and stupid and asinine.
He should have gone to an adult or host and made his complaints...not a little kid.

Whom by the way spoke very well and seemed to much more mature than the adults involved.

Call me crazy, but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that, no, she was not aware of that. Shocking, I say, shocking!!! :lol:

I sure would like to hear our local Racism Police chime in on this one. Is racism OK when it comes from an Obama supporter and fundraiser? After all, other than the fact that he's a racist, he's been marching right in step with the other good little soldiers of the revolution, so we should be able to overlook this one teeny weeny little indiscretion, shouldn't we?

Come to think of it, since I and others were all but branded racists for not speaking out, I've seen a number of posts about "Buckwheat" and "Sasquatch". Saw another suggesting that a good way to spend the 4th would be to murder a Muslim neighbor, or at the very least, burn his house down. There's been a couple of others that I can't remember off the top of my head. As I recall, Alice (bless her heart) spoke up, but where were the rest of you? Where's your selective outrage when we need it? Does the fact that you sat on your hands and said nothing mean that you condone racism? I guess so, since that's pretty much what you said to the rest of us. Or maybe you're just a bunch of self-righteous hypocrites that can't live up to the standards you set for everyone else.

Do we have another case of that least commented upon political creature of our time; the racist white liberal? Racist white liberals lead double lives, openly preaching the virtues of Dr. Martin Luther King while privately making sure they steer clear of black people in their own lives. You see it all the time in urban America. Rich white liberals dare not send their kids to public schools with all those poor black kids and instead stash them away in well to do private schools that pass along the virtues of privilege and close mindedness. Not only that, these same white liberals refuse to allow poor black kids vouchers to attend private schools lest the "complexion" of the private schools be changed.

The examples are too numerous to chronicle. There are the legions of mainstream liberal institutions that have virtually no black people at the top, like the media for example, which is dominated by white liberal men who are loathe to employ the affirmative action tools they demand of everyone else (and I won't even get started with the media's "white women in peril" obsession that values the lives of beautiful white women far above the lives of minority murder victims.) Goldman Sachs was Barrack Obama's number one contributor but when is the last time you saw a black man or woman collecting one of those infamous million dollar Goldman bonuses given away like so much candy?

This is why guilty white liberals feel so damned guilty. They think that if they weep for Michael Jackson, vote for Barack Obama, or cheer on LeBron James that somehow these token actions will alleviate the shame they feel for leading such racist lives.

Sorry, doesn't work that way. If you want to stamp out racism why don't you lead by example. Let the black kids play in the pool. Let the black kids have the right to attend the same quality school as all the rich white kids in private school. Set up some affordable housing units in your secluded white liberal enclave.


And while you're at it, spare me the peace lectures. Rarely has MLK's name been so used in vain as it was at that peace conference.

Finally, this is not an indictment against all liberals. Just a minority of liberals who preach tolerance in public but practice intolerance in their private lives.

So the next time one of you gets the urge to climb up on that high horse of yours and ride around lecturing others about racism, I have a suggestion: Look in the mirror and start there.

So are you saying the article is untrue? That it didn't happen?
Show me your reason/facts for knowing that?

And how does posting an article that describes or reporting overt discrimination either because of race or social status or both then make you a racist :???:

What the hell are you talking about, OT?

You seem to be saying that you have knowledge that this event didn't occur- and that the people involved can't be credible because they are Democrats and (God forbid) an Obama supporter....

I just want to see these facts that you have access to that disproves the event occurred as reported....

And how does the reporting or the making public of the violation of a contract because of racial/social discrimination make someone a racist... :???:

How did you come up with that?

Now your playing games... :roll: Go back and look at your comments...

Does tell me one thing...One of the reasons this country is in the state its in- ethics and principles mean nothing anymore when you have Bankers defending people that back out of contracts- and condone it as long as its against someone of the political party you oppose or a skin color not your own...

I suppose if the Kids Camp had realized they were dealing with Republicans they would have known to bring a drawn out contract and a lawyer to their $1900 agreement proceedings.... :wink:

You don't get it. Van got it. I was pointing out that the racism that your compadre in fantasyland was bringing forward was committed by a man who WAS AN OBAMA SUPPORTER AND FUNDRAISER! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm not saying it didn't happen, I'm just pointing out WHO did it, and it wasn't a Republican like you like to hang the racist tag on - it was a DEMOCRAT!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Why would I condone it? Why would I side with a moonbat? It was wrong on more than one level. THE POINT IS: You moonbats are constantly blaming Republicans for being racists, and it a post that one of you brings backfires and exposes a Democrat at the racist. Classic!
