While I completely disagree with the racism on all fronts:
I hope the pool's decision is not struck down by the courts. It is a private institution that receives no tax dollars. It should "theoretically" be able to serve whoever it wants. The consumer (both white and black) can act in response to this. But it is a private institution and the government should not be able to have any say in whom it serves. Whether that will happen or not is another case. (And it won't.)

Overall, though, it's the bigness of the car that counts the most. Because when something bad happens in a really big car – accidentally speeding through the middle of a gang of unruly young people who have been taunting you in a drive-in restaurant, for instance – it happens very far away – way out at the end of your fenders. It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
