The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People requested the Human Relations Commission's investigation. Why don't you just shout the HE!! UP. Accusations of racial discrimination can't you all find something to ( P M S ) about Man give it a rest.Why don't you get Jess Jackson and Al Sharp in this to Man Grow Up.

Incredible. A white family is attacked by a gang of blacks and the press basically ignores it and the police won't even call it hate crime.

The double standard is appalling.

ALL THE TIME

Akron police say they aren't ready to call it a hate crime or a gang initiation.

But to Marty Marshall, his wife and two kids, it seems pretty clear.

It came after a family night of celebrating America and freedom with a fireworks show at Firestone Stadium. Marshall, his family and two friends were gathered outside a friend's home in South Akron.

Out of nowhere, the six were attacked by dozens of teenage boys, who shouted ''This is our world'' and ''This is a black world'' as they confronted Marshall and his family.

The Marshalls, who are white, say the crowd of teens who attacked them and two friends June 27 on Girard Street numbered close to 50. The teens were all

Race or improper behavior? Of course it could not be the latter, could it?

Maybe you missed this in your reading of the article."
Amy Goldman said she's been a member of the club for two years. She said the pool wasn't particularly crowded and the children from Creative Steps were "well-behaved and respectful."

Now we hear that Senator Arlen Spector (D-Pa)
wants to stir-up-the-crap on this whole private swim club affair. This is the same Senator who wanted to waste a ton of taxpayer money on a full blown Congressional investigation on having the NE Patriots and NFL to explain why it allegedly destroyed evidence from an alleged cheating scandal during the 2007 Super Bowl. Really makes one wonder if these guys in Wash DC are just out to get on the 6:00 news to justify their continued positions. It's a private swim club Senator! They can say who can use their facilities and who can't apart from the federal bureaucracy.

I wish the state would come in and investigate the York city pool. They have the gull to charge poor people 8 bucks to wade in a jive area about the size of bathroom. There is no place to actually swim, the deepest part is about 3 feet, it holds only a mere hundred people at best, parking is limited, there is no place to park a bike, the music is country and western at best and all of these signs point to not wanting the poor people of York to come to the pool. What a pretext. You might as well hang a sign up that says, "We robbed the stupid people of York of their land to build a pool for those who are not poor cause we don't wantem here." YMCA? what a joke

"that several club members complained because the children "fundamentally changed the atmosphere" at the pool" Of course it did....minorities ruin everything they touch! Ms. Wright, let me be the first to tell you to go f@#k yourself! Take your low grade ghetto trash, put them on the bus(in the back of course), and return to where you belong. I'm just waiting for Jackson and Sharpton to stick their nappy little heads into this. Black America is a pathetic joke!

You're correct. Seems as though the only thing the boons understand is a bit of shooting.
