I'm sure there is. I read through this looonnng thread, and couldn't find one sign of the other side. And, as Judge Judy says, if something doesn't make sense, it isn't true.
Why would a hotel rent to such a large group and allow them access to all facilities except the pool?
Old fashioned racists didn't like the idea of using dishware or linens that Blacks had used. This hotel had no problem with that, so why would the pool be a bigger problem? A healthy dose of chlorine takes care of worse problems than that.
What if this was a typical hotel pool, where there is no lifeguard, and you swim at your own risk? And this family of 100 showed up with 30-40 small kids and didn't appear to be watching them carefully?
Isn't the cost risk of a discrimination lawsuit less than the risk of a reckless death suit?
Could be?
And I know Myrtle Beach has had problems with how to handle the Black bikers every year. Their PR stinks. Anyway, this looks to me like one of the cases where the accused just took the cheapest way out, and we will never know thewhole story.
Family reunions are highly sought after by resorts and hotels. Many have a coordinator who is supposed to work closely with the reunion host. When I had mine last month I had to tell the hotel exactly how many adults and kids were coming. They knew how many people were eating breakfast each day and how many were going to be at the banquet. We also paid for everything five days before arriving. I can't imagine that this resort was unaware of how many kids were coming. They took this family's money and didn't let them use the facility that they paid for.
