Alleged Prejudice Starts Probe at Club

Pa. Organization Revoked Swim Contract for Day Camp That Included Minorities
Nine-year-olds Quadir Preston and Asjah Anthony demonstrate in front of the Valley Club over allegations that it prevented minority children from swimming. (By Mark Stehle -- Associated Press.



By Ann GerhartWashington Post Staff Writer Saturday, July 11, 2009
The Valley Club, one of those archetypal suburban summer preserves on a leafy hillside outside Philadelphia, became a target of national opprobrium yesterday over allegations that it may have discriminated against a group of minority youngsters.

The Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission has undertaken an investigation, Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.) called the allegations of racial discrimination "deeply disturbing," and Olympic gold medalist Cullen Jones, the highest-profile African-American swimmer, said from the U.S. Championships in Indianapolis that "hearing about what's happened to these 65 kids is both disturbing and appalling. . . . And in this date and time -- we have a black president!"
Chuck Wielgus, executive director of USA Swimming, the governing body for the U.S. swim team, said he was stunned at the accusations.
"This is the sort of thing you'd hear about in 1966, during the height of the civil rights movement, not in 2009, and not in the City of Brotherly Love, of all places," he told the Associated Press.
The private Valley Club opened in 1954 in the town of Huntington Valley, Pa., just as years of pressure to desegregate the city's public pools neared success. This year, it looked as if the municipal pools might not open at all, given Philadelphia's budget woes.
So Alethea Wright, the director of Creative Steps day camp in nearby Northeast Philadelphia, went looking for a place for her campers to splash around. She reached a contract with the Valley Club, and on June 29, the Monday before July 4, her 65 children -- black and Hispanic, kindergartners to seventh-graders -- jumped into the cool water.
Within minutes, she said, they were racing back to her, saying they had overheard people making racial remarks about them. "A couple of the children ran down saying, 'Miss Wright, Miss Wright, they're up there saying, "What are those black kids doing here?" ' " she told the Associated Press.
Within a few days, the Valley Club had revoked the camp's contract, refunded its $1,950 and become a new symbol of a painful "whites-only" past.
The club's president told a local television station that "there is a lot of concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion . . . the atmosphere of the club."
What transpired next is a parable about racial sensitivities in the age of Obama, and the warp speed at which elusive facts mingle with assumptions and suspicions in a mash-up of widespread online outrage and on-site protest.
It is also a reminder of a particularly ugly period in blacks' struggles for equality, when public swimming pools were one of the most volatile gathering points before and after civil rights legislation.
Public pools were where "Americans came into intimate and prolonged contact with one another," writes Jeff Wiltse in "Contested Waters," his social history of the country's swimming pools. "People who might otherwise come in no closer contact than passing on the street, now waited in line together, undressed next to one another and shared the same water."

New York Rep. Carolyn Maloney uses N word

Should Rep. Carolyn Maloney get away with using the N word? It's clearly a everyday word with her because she says it with ease.

Maloney apologizes over use of N-word
Rep. Carolyn Maloney is charging full speed ahead with plans to challenge Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, convinced voters won't hold her use of the n-word against her.
"There is no impact," Maloney's senior aide Paul Blank said.
"She apologized. She said she repeated a word that shouldn't have been repeated," he added. "That's the end of the story. She has a long record in support of civil rights and racial justice issues."
Blank said Maloney will officially announce her Democratic primary campaign against Gillibrand on Monday or Tuesday.
Her campaign got off to a rocky start when she scrambled to say sorry Monday for using the n-word during a recent interview.Blank said Maloney won't allow the n-word incident to detract from her focus on the issues.
"What matters in elections is the candidates' records and where they stand," Blank said. "This campaign is going to be a debate about real issues that are important to real New Yorkers."
Maloney made the slur while criticizing Gillibrand to City Hall, a biweekly publication and political Web site.
She was relaying a conversation she'd had with someone disappointed in the new senator's stance on English-only education - a hot-button issue in the Hispanic community.
"I got a call from someone from Puerto Rico, said [Gillibrand] went to Puerto Rico and came out for English-only [education.] And he said, 'It was like saying n----- to a Puerto Rican,'" she is quoted as saying, using the full racial slur.
The Rev. Al Sharpton, a Gillibrand supporter, expressed outrage at the remark. Maloney quickly apologized for repeating "a word I find disgusting."

Harlem Reverend Doubts Obama's Nationality


Sunday was the tipping point, to use a tired phrase. When a black pastor from Harlem asks President Obama to prove his citizenship you know something's up. The so-called "birthers" movement has become more than just a bad joke that most people with half a brain laugh about. I'd almost had enough last week when I read about a soldier who refused to deploy over this nonsense.But now it's official. President Obama being born in Kenya, not Hawaii as his birth certificate says plain as day, will go into the history books as full-fledged conspiracy theory. ...Exhibit A: Rev. James David Manning isn't just any black pastor in Harlem. Manning has hated President Obama's guts, to put it mildly, for almost two years.Now, he's the latest to take his place in the "birther" conspiracy theory/urban legend, along with folks like Alan Keyes.On Sunday, the church sign at his small chapel read: "The Blood of Jesus Against Obama. Mr. Obama Show Us Your Birth Certificate. No Dew Nor Rain." Now for the video below, in which Manning calls Obama a "criminal" who should be arrested. "There's a snake in the White House. He needs to be snaked out," Manning said. Spoken like a true snake charmer.So what implication does this have? Well, first let me say congratulations to the idiots who have pulled off the biggest hoax of my lifetime. There's too many of you to count. You will never be forgotten. You will be talked about for eternity, like the people who say NASA faked the Apollo moon landing.By the way, how's that holding up 40 years later? Our grandchildren and their grandchildren, sociologists, psychologists and history experts in folklore will study and reevaluate the birther conspiracy theory forever. There will be movies made. Books will be or have been written. Court documents, YouTube videos and Web sites will make it seem as real as the smoke from the gunman on the grassy knoll.Who really killed JFK? Where's Jimmy Hoffa buried? The framing of Bill Clinton, Sept. 11, Area 51, the Bermuda Triangle ... Obama's birth certificate.
