Ohio Panel Sticks To 'White Only' Pool Sign Ruling

COLUMBUS, Ohio - A state panel on Thursday upheld its decision that a Cincinnati landlord discriminated against a black girl by posting a "White Only" sign at a swimming pool.

The Ohio Civil Rights Commission voted 4-0 against reconsidering its finding from last fall. There was no discussion.

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.

The parents filed a discrimination charge with the commission and moved out of the duplex in the racially diverse city to "avoid subjecting their family to further humiliating treatment," the commission said in a release announcing its finding.

1. What year is this?

Damn.

EDIT. Wonder who the apt manager is voting for? I'm guessing it won't be Obama.

Racism is still an epidemic in America.

3. His argument was that blacks use hair products that make it hard to clean the pool....

...but somehow he didn't think of a sign that read "everyone must wear bathing caps" instead of "whites only." Nor did he seem to think that anyone but blacks use such hair products.
