Racism in Philadelphia
Racism hasn’t been erased in our society. It certainly lives on in the Philly suburbs. Here’s a case of kids being harmed by racism.

4. Sucks big
What really sucks is that the people who run the swim club probably faced discrimination a couple generations back.

5. You may be right but then again you may be entirely wrong. All the facts are not in.
I was born and raised in this area and still have family there. I know that this area as well as most of Philadelphia is integrated and most people respect each other and get along fine. This is why I have some concerns about just making assumptions without hearing both sides of this matter. There is only one original story on this situation and all links take us back to this one story.
Before we point fingers and make accusations, don't you think the other side needs to have their say? Isn't that being fair. The article quotes someone from Valley Pool, but doesn't note or link to an original source.
I am not suggestion racism doesn't still exist, but there are two sides to every story.
