And literally nothing would be done, greenlighting more of the same. Rather call him police than deal with random trespassers all summer.

I saw these non-resident parties occur in the condo I rented out of college. There were then reported burglaries and a rape that occurred. People PAY for peace and quiet and safety via vetted residents. Nobody pays good money to have all sorts of loud and sketchy randoms in their private space.

There would have been no way to have over 10 guests over (how many people total??). This is not a minor matter - what if a kid drowns or gets hurt? We could reserve a room (not the pool) for a party, but the hourly rate was very high.
My condo doesn't have these rules. So, it really depends on the condo and I find the whole "well, these are the rules" defenses to be ridiculous.
It is very, very dangerous for police to be called on black people who are just going about their lives. I have yet to see any real confirmation about the rules, and I think it is telling and crazy and awful how much people will justify this terrible choice this woman made or in the alternative diminish, mock or ignore the valid, concerning fear these poor people were put in for just having a nice time at the pool.
But go on. This thread will probably have 100's of posts fighting and defending this woman before it dies a slow death and yet another racist story occurs. The racist will get busy defending that one then. Seen it for years on DCUM.
White people have reason to fear all black people. Got it.

No idea what has happened over the past 20 years or so, but a lot of her friends in high school were POC and from what I can see from her Facebook these days that is still the case. I haven't talked to her in person for over 20 years, so who knows what the situation is but I know that she never had stellar communication skills, so her approach was probably not great off the bat and then it most likely escalated to calling the police for whatever reason. Of course there's always a chance it was motivated by racism, but that wouldn't be my gut feeling in this situation.
You haven't seen this woman in 20 years. Who someone was in high school isn't a fair representation. You probably barely talked to her in high school and from your post were probably a mean girl to her.
So you're saying you'd rather just assume a stranger is a racist based off of a social media post rather than taking the word of someone who actually knew her at some point in her life and has access to her current social media? And where do you get mean girl from this post? Are you sure you actually comprehend what the poster wrote?

Listen, literally the other day, I invited my sister and her kids and friends to swim at my building's pool. We did the same exact things as the people in this story, there were about 15 people total and it was a fun sun-filled afternoon with burgers and cold sodas by the pool. No one bothered us.
Then again, we're white. So, there's that.
PP here. I also would like to note there's no need for approval to have a pool party unless we wanted to use the club room. Like those poor people, we didn't and weren't bothered. Because we are white.
