brought the four year old to a public splash pad this afternoon and he had a blast and so did every other kid there anyway sometimes I think about the people who filled in or drained public pools rather than allow them to be used by kids of a different race and just how fucking evil that is

That fucking video of the guy pouring bleach in an integrated pool still enrages me, more-so because nobody is fucking tackling him.

We've got a park with a public splash pad here in Eugene and the kids love it. They're such great things to have around. I can't imagine being such a jackass that I'd want to deny that to someone who finds joy in it

And then they blamed "outside troublemakers" for "forcing" them to close the pools. "Look what they made us do! They're awful!"

PREACH. There is, I think, ONE pool I can go to in my city, and it's an indoor pool at a school, so the hours are limited to weird times. There are NO words.

I was really shocked to learn how many public pools have been lost bc of racism. There's a racial link to loss of amusement parks, too. Building expansive new public pools seems like an important civic priority.

There's something about hatred that makes you prioritize others' misery over your own happiness. I remember reading a story about a village in India that, after the federal government forced them to let the Untouchables in the community use it, just filled it with feces and rotting animal corpses.

Ngl ever since we heard about the splash pad shooting my wife and I have been second guessing taking our daughter to one when she is old enough. We can’t have nice things.

Recently heard a rightwing fuckwit complaining about how all the state and national parks "look like the United Nations" and how he doesn't feel "at home" there with his white family. The self-pity was palpable. My dude, this is how America looks. Cope.

I have real trouble shutting my mouth whenever the topic of my neighborhood “swim club” comes up. I mean, our whole suburb exists because of white flight, but the fact that there are two of these private clubs every square mile and like three public pools in the whole rest of the city…
