This appears to be a propaganda outlet. It's a bunch of Alabama news from an organization with an address in Maryland, an anonymous site author, and nearly all of the "reporting" coming from "MSB Staff."

The goal of these types of outlets is to hook you with a news story so they can put you into audience segments based on your interests. Then they retarget you on social media with clickbait designed to feed your biases and encourage radicalization.

Don't trust news outlets that you're not familiar with, or journalists who don't work for outlets you're familiar with. Propagandists are now setting up fake bios for fake journalists with "reporting" done by scraping other sites and using Generative AI to do a quick rewrite.

Completely agree. Reality is that 40205 is only 2% black, too. The issue is much bigger than Lakeside, or even Louisville.

I've never seen any evidence that she was an escort, only rumors. No need to throw another turd into that sewage salad.

"I just pointed out that the black gay person couldn't possibly be highly qualified for a high-ranking job. Why does that make me a bigot?"

The first three pictures are horrific but the fourth one isn’t too bad.

Churches. Look for one with social groups and small groups. It took me a while to find one where the preaching didn't make me gag.

Not a whole lot of mystery there. Filter rooms mainly.

Reporting back. I haven't read the book yet, but Lakeside has a display up to celebrate its 100th anniversary. There's no mention of any racial history, though there was a 1920s advisory to only bring guests "who would be welcome guests in any of our homes." Read into that what you will. For the purposes of this conversation, there was also a hilariously unfortunate phrase in an old auction flyer for home lots in the Lakeside subdivision... "for only the most discriminating citizens."

Well, when the neighborhood was being built in the 1920s, deeds included a racial covenant to restrict ownership to white people. Sadly, not uncommon at the time. Since the pool was also incorporated into a neighborhood club in 1924, those covenants would have de facto made it a whites-only club. I'm not sure if black guests were allowed, but I doubt it was even a consideration considering whites would have controlled memberships.

Racial covenants were made illegal by the Fair Housing Act in 1968. I only know from my own memory that there were at least a very few black members in the 1980s, including a school friend of mine and a girl on the swim team who became an Atherton classmate in the early 1990s. FWIW, both were interracial, so they probably benefited from their connections to the white people in the community to get sponsorships.

I say this with sincere empathy: Use your winnings for therapy.

As of yesterday, it reads:

I pledge allegiance to the dictator of the United States of America. And to the puppet government, over which he rules, one nation, mocking God, with liberty and justice forgone.

Whoooooooooooooo...

I'll try to remember to report back after I pick up a copy. I was lucky to grow up in a certificate membership household.

The other way to become a member is to work at the club, and I can tell you that they always need more life guards. Once you're in, finding someone to sponsor your family for a permanent membership should be pretty easy.

Pretty much what you'd expect in a segregated city. No black members before the Civil Rights era, then only a tiny handful in the 1980s and 1990s since you have to be sponsored by a certificate member (who lives in a house immediately around the quarry). The neighborhood is whiter than my bare ass, and we all know how little segregated neighborhoods mingle. There are more black members the last 10-15 years, but it's still probably 2% of the membership at best.

Wait until you hear about the true nature of the Seahawks and what happens in "The Filter Room."
