Sometimes people disgust me

I don't know if you've read the story of the black kids asked to leave a Philadelphia swim club because managers feared the kids would rape, rob, and kill the white folks "change the complexion of the pool". Click here to read the story.

The article says the day camp, Creative Steps, is looking for a new pool for the kids to attend but they also need to have someone looking for a lawyer to sue the mess out of the swim club. This Valley Swim club sounds like one of those places that let one black family join so they can say they are open.

Now one may be tempted to say in the age of Obama, how can this ish still go on? How can this go down in the "City of Brotherly Love"? But even the Obama's are targets of ignorance, stupidity, and people that can't seem to let go of ideas from 1842 and it's sad. I, however, just cannot be surprised anymore. From the Jena 6 situation, the N-bomb flying out of every white person's mouth, attacks on the beautiful Michelle Obama, and this, I am concerned about how racism has been showing its ugly face so frequently in 2009.

I hope this lights a fire under the people of Philly. I pray that the kids find themselves another, better pool to swim in and justice for what the swim club has done.
