If you did this in the South about ten different interest groups and legal societies would rightfully be on you and you'd be subject to federal lawsuits. Bunch of SOB's. If they can make the statement in bold then they truly must think they have nothing to fear.

Pool Boots Kids Who Might "Change the Complexion"

NBC Philadelphia
Dymire Baylor says he overheard a woman ask, "What are all these black kids doing?" when he and his freinds showed up.

More than 60 campers from Northeast Philadelphia were turned away from a private swim club and left to wonder if their race was the reason.

Pool Boots Kids Who Might "Change the Complexion"

Watch VideoKids at Creative Steps Day Camp were thrilled to go swimming once a week at the Valley Swim Club. But after only one trip to the private club, they were...
"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.

If this happened in Europe the club would be sued into extinction.

Generally it is. However there are certain exemptions under law and the real world. Usually doesn't stand up to repeated lawsuits, protests, bombings, etc.

Private clubs have an exemption, but there's lots of case law on it and some hard requirements. At least in Texas, when one of these gets the disinfectant of public scrutiny, it usually changes quickly.

Or the BET awards, or all our films showing how illegal aliens are evil (extraterrestrial that is). Has anyone seen how the racists in Holywood portray poor innocent martians?

Just look at this racist diatribe:

On the flip side this popped up. Unfortunately racism continues to be a multi way street.

Yes because NY is so much more civilized (looks at murder rate...er you might think about that).

So going from from farmy outskirts to farmy outskirts. I don't see the difference, except its colder and you're near the aforementioned NYC.
