Ruling over racist pool sign-that blamed Black teen

---------------------
Speechless!....

 

What a racist nutcase.

 

That is racist. I mean really how can she be sure of all the swimmers hair products and tanning oils what is farking up the pool??

 

I sometimes lay in the sun with conditioner in my hair and a hat - so I could also very well have "clouded" the water if I swam there.

Whats worse ontop, she used an actual sign from the era when segregation was the law.

 

:smt012

Im just speechless!!!!!

 

If a person owns the property and pays taxes they can restrict who and what they want in their property. She should have put a sign “No hair product in the pool” , “Only free of chemical hair allowed in da pool” etc….She could have avoided court and the racist label if she did that. Wasn’t Cincinnati the place where race riot happened sometime in early 2000’s? oh well………

 

damn what the fuck

imo if you actually KNOW a particular person is fucking up the pool, why not go to them on the side instead and rap to em? There was no need for that racist ass display to be posted up there. Mothafuckas is straight stupid in Cincy

 

Fair Housing Act - Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (Fair Housing Act), as amended, prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings, and in other housing-related transactions, based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status (including children under the age of 18 living with parents or legal custodians, pregnant women, and people securing custody of children under the age of 18), and handicap (disability).

You can argue that renting the dwelling also grants you access to the pool, so by saying you can't use the pool you are being denied access to something you are in a way paying for, based on race. A lawyer could spin that either way depending on what's detailed in the lease, and how they link the rent monies to other areas of the property.

 

I say this from a legal perspective as I abhor the actions of the landlord, period....however, I noticed a possible wrench which stuck out earlier to me and that was the young teen didn't live there, so was she "technically" entitled to use the pool?

"The group found on Sept. 29 that Jamie Hein, who is white, violated the Ohio Civil Rights Act by posting the sign at a pool at the duplex where the teenage girl was visiting her parents"

And if she only just visited there, I mean really, how many times did she actually use the pool for it to warrant the Landlord to go to such a mean-spirited extreme. I'm guessing not many.

 

i know, that was some idiotic shit

surely the landlord could have did something more tactful. Like I mentioned before, I would have sent out letters prohibiting certain chemicals, or would have told the tenants to be more mindful. I wouldn't have just excluded one race, when people are paying to live there

 

Exactly....
Keep in mind, I would suggest chemical sunscreen be added to that list...but of course that would get a pass since Ms.Hein probably slathers it on her body to protect herself, which according to instructions, you must re-apply every half hour if swimming as it washes off...hmmmm...


Cloudy as a m'fer... ^^

And what about the Black tenants who didn't use hair chemicals? Why are they excluded from swimming? Seriously, I think this twit just didn't give a fuck who she hurt or offended.

 

exactly

but you know we're always being profiled and lumped together

i never been to jail or stolen physical shit for example, so why prevent me from having the same freedoms as everyone else?

 

Who's yo daddy now?

 

He did it for teh lulz

i see what you're saying about the sign tho

if anything broadening that spectrum to include more races, just adds strength to the case

 

"Hein told the commission she received the sign from a friend...it was an antique. The sign says "Selma, Ala.," at the bottom, followed by the date "14 July 31."

Segregation aka "Jim Crow" laws....1865 to 1866...

"Southern states passed laws that restricted African Americans access to schools, restaurants, hospitals, and public places. Signs that said "Whites Only" or "Colored" were posted at entrances and exits, water fountains, waiting rooms, and restrooms. Laws were enacted that restricted all aspects of life and varied from state to state. Georgia in 1905, passed a law requiring separate public parks, in 1909 Mobile, Alabama created a 10 p.m. curfew for blacks, and in 1915, South Carolina blacks and whites were restricted from working together in the same rooms of textile factories.

 

Cloudy up the water time, wooo hooo.

 

I was directing my response at your statement that it wasn't directed at just Blacks, because it simply said "Whites Only". In fact, that sign was made specifically for keeping Blacks out.

 

if she wanted to do that respectfully, she should put that down as a lease provision. Something along the lines of 'oh btw, I restrict access to pool based on race.' Once you start going into contracts with tenants and renters (basically turning your private property into a business), you subject yourself to the fair housing act. Whether or not that would cover fringe items like pool use, is up for interpretation.

 

She just gets more obnoxious...

Lady, please, shut it.

 

Bingo!
