So...segregation ended, right? We're all equal now. Everybody gets a fair shake. Nobody has any reason to cry racism except those victim mongering racists like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Not whites. No, no, no, Whites are 'above' that type of behavior now. The U.S. is "post-racial" now. I mean, come on! Our President is multiracial, half-black, half-white! How can we have systematic racism? Get over it!

Right. Sure. Well, I guess somebody had better let those kids know that. Let them know that whenever they get into the pool and the white kids get out, that's all part of our "post-racial" America they're raised in.
I guess somebody had better tell the kids with the troublesome complexion that they're the problem, that their dark skin brings bad vibes with it, as opposed to the inherently "good vibes" of the children with a lighter complexion (in the article, a fear is expressed that the black kids complexion would be a reason that the atmosphere of the pool area would change).
I guess fending the parents off with "refund money" is just fine. Nevermind the message that this sends to young children who are Black. "Hey, you're not allowed in. Here, just take your money back that you paid and go find some other pool. Your complexion is bad for the pool atmosphere and vibe."
Is this all part of our "post-racial" society?
