PG Pool

[Anonymous]

I just moved to Mount Rainier, MD and tried to join the PG Pool but was turned away. This pool's waitlist is like 10 years long. WTH?

They are all like that. I’ve been on Daleview list for 10 years. The Greenbelt pool usually has places, we joined that one and are very happy.

This pool uses waitlists to keep the locals out. It was that way when my grandpa moved to mount rainier in the 70s. It has some ‘diversity’ committee now to make it seem like they’re not doing this, but it’s just a way for them to feel better about excluding folks in PG.

How does that make sense? Locals have lived there longer than non locals so they would naturally have a better position in the waiting list.

Not if you explicitly exclude black people, which this pool did for a long time.

In the 70s. Not for the past several decades.

Yes, bc racist policies don’t have long term impacts on people?

Okay, that was 50 years ago. What is your point?

Yes! Maybe people in Mount Rainier should focus on fixing up their town instead of harassing people who pay their hard earned money to use a PRIVATE pool.

Are you black? The loudest voices in this PG Pool discriminates it’s ironically the white people who don’t understand it’s a private pool with a waitlist.

It’s not a public pool.

Yes. Not the first poster. I live in MoCo now. I remember my father was turned away from this pool back in the 1970s. We never felt comfortable joining this segregated pool when it was open to us.
