The Valley Swim Club in Northeast Philadelphia charged $1900 dollars for a camp to use their facilities, Turns out most of the children were minorities. All the white kids immediately exited the pool when the minority kids entered. 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. One of the black kids stated that 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 day after the club told the camp director that the camps membership was suspended and would refund their money. The President pf the Valley Swim Club said there was concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion of the club.


I hope no one sues the club but uses it as a teaching experience to the minority kids. Teach them that they must get an education so that they would not be as uneducated as those denying them entrance to the pool. Get an education so that they can build their own pool and invite those who would not have invited them. Most importantly let them know that the failed ones are the racists who would attempt to diminish them, illustrating that for all the morality they preach it is them that are immoral and lacking of dignity.
