In the article, 'Whites Only' Pool Sign 'Just Historical', Landlord says by Rob Quinn, the author describes an incident where a Ohio landlord puts up a racial sign to prevent black residents from swimming in the pool. The landlord stated that it is a historical sign from the ninety thirty's. Day before he said to black residents that a little black girls hair had chemicals that was making the water cloudy. He then claimed that he had no problems with that race, never said anything to the child, and that he was not a bad person.
In my opinion I think that he should not have a sign like that up in a public pool. It should not be on a fence by the pool and should be if any where in a place where it is not offending anyone. It should be hung up in a museum or his house if it is that historical.

Thanks for getting us on the right blog, John. Be sure to mention the author of the article and provide the live link to the article in the first sentence instead of waiting till the end of the article. I think it would have been helpful to note the date, too. This was a shocking story of racism. I hoped from more response and voice in the second paragraph. Avoid "in my opinion and I think and just say your opinion directly.
