Ohio Landlord Fights Judge Ruling Against 'White Only' Pool Sign

A landlord found to have discriminated against a black girl by posting a "White Only" sign at a swimming pool wants a state civil rights commission to reconsider its decision.

The Ohio Civil Rights Commission found on Sept. 29 that Jamie Hein, who's white, violated the Ohio Civil


Rights Act by posting the sign at a pool at the duplex where the teenage girl was visiting her parents. The parents filed a discrimination charge with the commission and moved out of the duplex in the racially diverse city to "avoid subjecting their family to further humiliating treatment," the commission said in a release announcing its finding.

What a primitive thing to do in 2011. I am glad the family filed a complaint. At least they aren't going extreme, like so many people do.

his property. he should be able to do with it as he pleases. no government interference. besides, where the government when the new york pool declared "muslim women only" swim times? if you cant see where this country is heading, shoot yourself now.

About time an property owner did what he wanted! It is real bad that the government tells people how to run their own business, I was told that my 12th. hire must be a minority! Well, we keep the business down to 11 I will not hire a lazy usless Obama type to lofe around the shop on my dime!
He was right in saying she would polute the pool also, back in the days before PC and civil rights, if one of those got in the pool you had to drain the water out before you let white folks back in, they are dirty and stinky.

I get the property rights argument, but if use of the pool is part of the tenant agreement then I can see the problem.

9:08, tell me the name of your business so I'll know not to patronize it.
