Woman Still Doesn’t Understand Why Her ‘White Only’ Swimming Pool is Racist
An Ohio landlord who posted a "White Only" sign outside her property's swimming pool is requesting that the state reconsider its ruling. She totally wasn't being racist, you see, since she did it because she was worried that if nonwhites were allowed in the pool, their strange black people hair products would make the water "cloudy." See? Not racist at all!
Jamie Hein owns a rental complex outside of Cincinnati. When she noticed that one of her tenants were being visited by their teenage daughter, who is black, she grew concerned about the fact of the pool water's clarity and posted a sign outside of the pool that read "White Only." It wasn't that the teen's presence in the water would render it unclean; just that the crazy haircare products she must be using were threatening the very molecules in the water and the subsequent swimming enjoyment of all the god-fearing whites who wanted to enjoy some blackless water.
Several eyewitnesses saw the sign, the girl's parents filed a complaint with the state Civil Rights Commission before moving out of the complex to one managed by someone who wasn't such an asshole. And on September 29, the Commission ruled against Hein and agreed that it is indeed Very Not Okay to segregate swimming pools by race.
Hein still doesn't think she was being racist, though, and has requested that the Commissioners hear her case again. They're scheduled to reconsider the case tomorrow. If the Commission reiterates its earlier ruling, the case will proceed to the Ohio state Attorney General, and the Attorney General may choose to award punitive damages to the former tenants who complained.
No word on whether Hein knows about how often people urinate in swimming pools, or if it was okay for other nonwhite races to swim in the pool. Also, how much of one nonwhite race do you need to be in order to be barred from swimming. Does the word "octoroon" come into play? So many stupid questions to be asked of this woman who doesn't appear to know the meanings of words.

It's her pool, she should be allowed to restrict whatever she wants. If people don't like it, they can vote with their feet and move out.
There are blacks only colleges, blacks only scholarships, blacks only etc.. That's not racism though.

Actually if it were her pool at her personal house you are right. She could ban anyone she wants from it.sleeper;1017067 wrote:It's her pool, she should be allowed to restrict whatever she wants. If people don't like it, they can vote with their feet and move out.

However, as soon as it is a business and a semi-public pool. She only has the right to limit it to paying customers and their guests, not by any protected class of people.

Ok cool. Then she should just change the sign to signify the particular products that black people use in their hair and ban them. There's always a way to ban protected classes, and honestly, protected classes are a joke and need to be eradicated.jmog;1017069 wrote:Actually if it were her pool at her personal house you are right.

Why limit it to pools? Segregate the whole country again!

I think it is a good idea.
I would also place a weight limit on whom should be allowed in as well to ensure fatty's cannot swim.

Maybe it is the relation of Danny White, and they only want family members to swim in their pool

I guess she could limit it to tenants only...no guests.jmog;1017069 wrote:Actually if it were her pool at her personal house you are right. She could ban anyone she wants from it.

My first thought. Then have a strict screening process to find tenants.ManO'War;1017084 wrote:I guess she could limit it to tenants only...no guests.

Come on...if she is posting those kinds of signs, then I'm sure she is pretty careful who she rents to.

If you don't like the rental properties policy - GTFO.
I see no problem with it.
I'd have a sign "NO slant eyed bastards!" next to the pool too.

Pretty sure their laws are different over there so that's irrelevant.

Oh I agree 100% that this whole PC/affirmative action/protected class BS needs to go. I was just stating that within the current laws she could not do that.sleeper;1017075 wrote:Ok cool.

So you think it should be legal for businesses to discriminate against blacks/gays/muslims/etc?jmog;1017195 wrote:Oh I agree 100% that this whole PC/affirmative action/protected class BS needs to go. I was just stating that within the current laws she could not do that.
