Racism is funny. But only because of it’s utter ridiculousness. You know, the way some black people think that all white people smell like wet dog and then the way white people smell like wet dog sometimes. It’s funny.

“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.
“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.”

Real racism is weird, because real racism almost isn’t hate. It’s really just complete obliviousness and misinformation. Real racist aren’t the ones that identify as skinheads or Nazis or believe in some Aryan race, not that I am discrediting those racists as not racist. But the real kind of genuine, old school, racism simply acknowledges that the black people “bad race” behaves in this almost subhuman, animalistic way. What I mean is, these kinds of people aren’t full time racists, hating black people isn’t their hobby. There’s no protesting or signs involved. These people simply ARE racist, just as matter of fact as them having blue eyes.

Only when the subhuman creature is brought into light, only when they have to engage these cretins do these ideals come onto the surface. Hating niggers isn’t anything but a passing thought. Almost like when a cockroach crawls on your skin. You don’t spend your day thinking about how nasty roaches are, but when you have to flick one away all you can think about is how gross these pests are. But when the roach is gone, you move on with your day.

The fact that the club’s response was so blatant:

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.

This is in Philadelphia, by the way, a major city. Of course gays will never marry. There are parts of this country where being racist, is socially acceptable. KKK members choose to keep their identities anonymous for a reason, because on some level they acknowledge that what they are doing is wrong or at least perceived by the majority as wrong. When you live in a place where you don’t have to give a second thought to curb stomping that is just bizarre.
