Woman Outraged At Internet Meme (Pool`s ...

A New Braunfels woman is outraged over what she considers a racist attempt to intimidate her grandchildren from using her subdivision`s swimming pool. Mary Alice Altorfer is hosting a visit from her two grandchildren, whose father is African American. The children swam at the River Tree subdivision pool every day for about a week before someone posted a flier on the pool gate bearing a picture of a black man with a large afro haircut, his arms folded across his chest and the words "POOL`S CLOSED" superimposed.

From Habbo hotel to real life, I gotta admit it made me laugh a bit. Someone should tell her the back story behind it so she`d know it was only a joke.

That was really messed. However, if it was a white man on the sign with his arms crossed, would it still be racist? Makes you think...

Look, this bitch is the head of the HOA(Home Owners` Association). That means that she looks for things to bitch about. I don`t know the story or the joke of `Pool`s Closed` but the picture alone is not racist. She is just wanting to cause trouble in a legal way. This is why I don`t trust HOAs.

its Pools Closed Due To AIDS, not Pools Closed to black people.
Update, someone shooped her face with an afro, and put up a sign saying Pools Open.
