"Ive seen suit for dumber things and so have you."

No argument there; put it this way: had there been a legitimate reason why the family could not use the pool (maintanance, etc) then yes, they could have *tried* to sue, but it's highly unlikely that they would have won - at least, not on the grounds of discrimination.

I am not saying the family was being deceitful, I am sure one way or the other they felt discriminated against. They see every day on TV people telling them that there are roadblocks keeping blacks from voting so why should this be any different? The see that terrible case of the Black man dragged to death in Texas but I am sure they did not hear about the exact same thing happening to a white guy as well.

but it's highly unlikely that they would have won - at least, not on the grounds of discrimination.

They did not win anything this was a settlement! For one of two reasons...

1) They really did discriminate and knew they would lose

2) They did not want Jessie Jackson and his thugs coming down there and hurting business..
