[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] We do belong to a neighborhood pool club, and the only "criteria" is that you have to live in the neighborhood. [/quote] Look up the history of the club. Private pool clubs were created in this area once the public pools opened up to blacks. Your neighborhood pool likely opened up for that reason, and they kept out the blacks (and maybe those of certain religions) by restricting who could buy in the neighborhood (redlining). Of course that's all highly illegal now, but it did happen back then. [/quote]
