I abhor racism, I really do, but this story reminds me of what I used to have to put up with when I was on a swim team in elementary school. Our team would meet at a public pool twice a week. Before our meetings, the pool was open to the public. This park/pool was located in a predominantly black neighborhood. At least once a month, our meets would have to be canceled because one of the black kids either shit in the pool or got their junk stuck in a jet. Perhaps this speaks more to poor people than to black people, but when I moved here (predominantly white area) and asked people who swam if they had ever had anything like that happen, they not only hadn't, but were SHOCKED that the black kids would literally shit where they swim (obviously bad parenting is a huge issue here, but black kids typically have black parents).
So maybe the country club just doesn't want to risk shutting down their pretty pool to clean up some shit head's baby ruth bar.
edit: Yes, 15 years later, I'm still miffed lol.
