more lengthy article about the rebuttal from the club:

JRV, you are not wrong, I mean yeah its a private club so you expect it not to be jam packed with kids. But, you kinda gotta look at the reality there. Off the cuff, before giving it any 'spin' thought, the president of the club said he didn't want to change the 'complexion and atmosphere' of the club. That was unfiltered reality because that was what he felt, just like the one kid heard someone say 'holy shit whats with all these black kids.'

Let me tell you what, if it had been a group of white kids I'm sure it would have been different, even if they were loud and annoying like kids tend to be.

There new stance that it was because of crowding, capacity, safety is revisionist bullshit because there original racist reason got media attention.

What's worse is that the club members who probably aren't generally racist, got fucked in the ass by the club management, so it's a double fuck you to them.

And even if they really only wanted the policy change due to the crowding, the fact that their club president gave the God awful complexion reason in the first place means that as members they need to own up and demand that guy's resignation, if it's even possible.
