State panel finds Valley Swim Club guilty of discrimination

A state commission issued a finding of probable cause that racism was involved in the decision by a suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, swim club to revoke privileges of a largely minority day care center.

The Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission, in its 33-page finding, details the incident. It notes that the swim club maintains that it canceled its relationship with the day care center because members were requesting that their membership fees be refunded and because of safety concerns “attendant with overcrowding of the shallow end of the pool by a large number of non-swimmers.”

Video: President Obama discusses race on Sunday talk shows

President Obama visited many news outlets to discuss everything BUT racism and wound up dicussing it on almost every one of these shows. President Obama danced his way around this question several times on Sunday.

While many may want him to speak on the issue so that the country can have a real discussion on race there are those that are waiting to pounce claiming that the President is playing the race card.

It’s a shame that a president is expected to talk about life or death situations like war and healthcare but not about race?

Check out his responses on the question of race on NBC, ABC & CNN.
