Yeah, sorry I kind of ninja'd you with my edit.
[QUOTE=Billiam;15929305]Well not if a black-man wanted a job there, and you were hiring people to work there of course.[/QUOTE]
That's not what this is about at all.
They PAID FOR THE POOL! They were ALLOWED TO PAY IN THE FIRST PLACE.
It's not like the pool openly says, "NO NIGGURZZZ ALOWRED!!!". They have just as much the right.

Just sayin...
This would be considered discrimination, as they allowed whites to pay for the use of the pool but not blacks.

They can allow or disallow anyone to pay for their shit if it's private.
No they can't.

If you're selling your house but only agree to sell it to whites, it's discrimination.
This is why we can't have nice things
[QUOTE=Shugo589;15929302]Yeah, that's the part that's bad. They said they'd refund them but I don't get why the didn't decide just not to give them memberships in the first place?
From USlaw.com:
Discrimination might occur when an individual tries to vote; rent, or buy a home; use a public facility; get a job, an education, or a bank loan, or do many other things.
That doesn't say anything about privately owned property, does it?[/QUOTE]
It's obviously discrimination by definition. I mean, the USlaw quote says "many other things", and this would certainly fall in there =/

What are you doing on FP, Mr. Obama?
[QUOTE=TH89;15929072]Maybe the lifeguard mixed them up with killer whales. Those are black too.[/QUOTE]
I love you.

It IS discrimination, but not illegal discrimination. Only public property and such is bound by these discrimination laws. I can let anyone I want into my house, I can discriminate against who comes in and I can discriminate about who can pay me to use my pool.
Just because this is a private pool doesn't make it any different, it's still private.
[QUOTE=PrismatexV3;15929415]No they can't.

If I'm selling my house I can sell it to anyone I want, if I publicly post it for sale, then I can't discriminate.

there's a difference between private as in "membership only" and private as in "private property".
[QUOTE=Xenomoose;15929482]there's a difference between private as in "membership only" and private as in "private property".[/QUOTE]
Yeah, but who says that they can't decide who can buy a membership if it's a private organization?
[QUOTE=GeneralKidd;15929427]What are you doing on FP, Mr. Obama?[/QUOTE]
That's President Obama to you.
This is pretty stupid. But isn't attending this club like attending black colleges?

STOP DEFENDING THIS
I know you want to be edgy and contrarian, but no one gives a damn about the minutiae of legal code regarding black people and swimming pools. Who gives a shit if it's legal, can't you just not try and be the edgy one for once and just say "hey this is a bad thing"?
can't we fucking agree that kicking black people out of pools for being black is a bad goddamn thing without someone coming in and saying "well it's theyre right too a hurrr hur uhrr"
[QUOTE=Shugo589;15929492]Yeah, but who says that they can't decide who can buy a membership if it's a private organization?[/QUOTE]
but they fucking bought the membership BEFORE they got kicked out! unless the guy/girl who filled out the membership application forms were white, or if there wasn't a "race/ethnicity" section on the form or whatever they did, it's hard to believe they didn't catch the fact that they were all black before they went into the club for the first time.
[QUOTE=Uzi-Face;15929533]This is pretty stupid. But isn't attending this club like attending black colleges?[/QUOTE]
No, whites are able to attend these colleges, which are termed "historically black" colleges for this reason

this is wrong
I get it
The point is that it's not illegal. I'm trying to show that to the people who are saying it IS illegal.
Solution:
Arson :p
Two wrongs do make a right.
I remember a court ruling that a church in New Jersey, IIRC, that operated a public pavilion needed to rent it to both straight [B]and[/B] gay weddings, else it would be discrimination.
Yeah, a [b]public[/b] pavilion.

why the fuck do you care so much? Why is it so important to you that you make 30 posts arguing that it's illegal? If you were a reasonable person who just wanted to correct a mistake, you would have just said something like "this sucks but it's not illegal" and that's it. You wouldn't make a third of the posts in a 2 page long thread making sure that every person knows you're right and rebutting any tiny bit of dissent.

And? It [i]shouldn't[/i] be legal to discriminate people like this. Just because it is doesn't make it right.

It doesn't matter if it's legal or not, it's still a [b]huge fucking taboo[/b], especially since equal rights for blacks was just achieved only a few decades ago (1960's, 1970's.).

Banks are private.

Yeah, I just said it was wrong.
[QUOTE=Shugo589;15929631]Yeah, a [b]public[/b] pavilion.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I made a "no blacks and no girls" sign on my treehouse because I'm an immature, 13 year old prick.
[QUOTE=Shugo589;15929673]Yeah, I just said it was wrong.[/QUOTE]
after I coerced you
and you're still arguing about it
The OP ruined a huge opportunity to make a "pool's closed" joke in the title
