What are the racist loonballs up to in …let’s see, Ohio this time? Sure, why not give Arizona a quick break? Antiques-collecting landlord lady Jamie Hein of Cincinnati is apparently the sort of person who came to mind when someone wanted to gift a 1931 sign from Alabama that reads “Public Swimming Pool, White Only.” Luckily enough, she found a perfect place to hang it! On the gate to her pool, right after the African-American daughter of one of her tenants went swimming in it. No big deal, she said, because “I’m not a bad person. I don’t have any problem with race at all. It’s a historical sign.” HMMM. Isn’t “history” more like the precise reason why this was a bad idea?
From ABC News:
Michael Gunn, 40, is the man who took issue with Hein’s sign and filed a discrimination charge with the Ohio Civil Rights Commission. He was a tenant in one of Hein’s properties.
“We invited my daughter, who is African-American, to visit and swim in the pool for the Memorial Day weekend,” Gunn wrote in his complaint. “The owner, Jamie Hein, accused my daughter of making the pool ‘cloudy’ because she used chemicals in her hair. Days later, she posted a sign on the gate to the pool which reads, ‘Public Swimming Pool, White Only.’”
Hein said that the sign had nothing to do with Gunn’s daughter and that it was already up at the time of that party, but cannot be seen when the gate is open.
OH, she says it was there before. Well in THAT CASE, it’s not hateful? The Ohio Civil Rights Commission disagreed and ruled in Gunn’s favor, and Hein is now seeking an appeal of the decision, because OPPRESSION.
“If I have to stick up for my white rights, I have to stick up for my white rights. It goes both ways,” [Hein said.]
Hey, did you know there are weird, ignorant people out there who still believe “rights” are a zero-sum game? Yeah. [ABC News]

I bet this lady looks like the Crazy Cat Lady off The Simpsons.
On a good day.
Or perhaps Mrs. McFierly, cackling guardian of the compost heap.
As a representative of Crazy Cat Ladies of America, I take exception to you lumping her racist ass in with us.
Cat lady LIBEL!
sorry…I just haven't got tired of the "Libel" stuff
Or, perhaps, the Log Lady.
Hey! I resemble that comment. But not the fuckwad that this story is about. Not nice.
I didn't realize that Marge Schott was still alive.
She probably got the sign at the estate sale.
You must mean a "plantation" sale.
This dumb bitch needs better chemicals in her gene pool.
You can tell she's dumb because she thought you had to put up a sign. Its so unnecessary, everybody knows blacks can't swim (heavy bones, of course). And if fear of drowning doesn't keep them out, you can always get a dog, or just tell them the pool is "hainted." Blacks is terrified of "sperrits," as everyone knows. Now where is my shilleleagh, I am going out to get drunk and start fights, me and my tiny Irish dick. Faith and Begorrah!
And I'm going to boil a kielbasa, get a plumbing job in France and tell jokes about myself.
It does appear to be a bit cloudy, doesn't it?
Gee, when I was a kid they used chemicals not to make the pool cloudy, but purple.
When I was kid, I used to make the pool "cloudy" in my own way. It'd end up having some green and/or deep brown spots. No wonder I often had the thing to myself.
Like… Arsenic.
She's already at the shallow end of her particular gene pool…..
But it's still okay for drunk or lazy white people to pee in it.
(see my comment above)
and the offspring of said white folks.
She said everyone, including her own father, has to ask permission before swimming in her pool.
Peeing in her pool, on the other hand, requires no advance notice…
Bitch.
"[Racist asshat] Hein said that the sign… was already up at the time of that party…"
RACE PARTY! Please check your melatonin at the door.
And your melanin while you're at it.
But, please do bring in the mescaline.
John Boehner will have to find some other place to swim now.
Today: Officials from the Guinness Book Of World Records were disappointed to discover what was believed to be the world's largest spontaneously occurring Tang deposit was in fact a swimming pool…
Is she coaching a segregated swimming team? I love when they do those fantastic routines, all in perfect time together, and all white!
i imagine it's quite difficult to goose step under water.
OHIO REPRESENT!
How did I know this was S.W. Ohio, home of Jean Schmidt?
~
Later on, Hein went around town breaking the windows of all the Jewish owned stores, not because she is an anti-semite, but because she is a historical person.
You know who else broke ……, nah, too obvious.
Hysterical person?
A name like Hein? Enemy alien alert! Intern the bitch! Oops, forgot it wasn't 1942….
Hein also said the old sign used to read "niggerhead," so what's the big fucking deal?
Then she went on to starch her hood and robe.
"Cloudy" people swim at the back of the pool….
I'll tell you what's not cloudy: Fucking shitbag racist is racist. That's crystal clear.
Not reported: Hein's comment that she felt she needed to put up the sign because she didn't want her pool polluted "by some nigress's cooties or whatever the hell those people put in their hair."
I saw Chris Rock's "Good Hair," but I must have missed the part about cootie weaves.
Also, to restore (some semblance of) faith in humanity:
The sign has since been stolen.
Dear thief, whoever you are, a very happy holiday season to you…
And just to dash that faith in humanity again, the sign is available on eBay. OK, it's probably not the sign in question, but a bunch of similar ones can be found there.
Prolly stolen by that li'l colored girl. And after the white lady was nice enough to not have her arrested for swimming in her pool.
Whites only after Labor Day?
How gauche and racist of her.
Almost as bad as Herman Cain's yellow tie post-Labor Day.
Ironically, though, hip upwardly-mobile black people often collect old racist memorabilia and display it "ironically" in their homes. Sambos and such.
Say, you know who else liked to put up signs saying certain ethnotypes should stay out… ?
Uncle Remus?
Non Irish!
i hear they eat their young.
Hey, its only polite to tell them they need not waste their time applying.
Long Dong Silver?
Jan Brewer?
Lester Maddox?
The anti "ground zero mosque" lunatics?
Augusta National?
Oh yes indeed. My mother in law can remember them very well from her childhood. Far, far, too well…………
Black man got a lot of problems
But they don't mind throwing a brick
White people go to school
Where they teach you how to be thick
White riot – I wanna riot
White riot of my own
or alternately:
"Life's not been good for you. It's just not fair.
I've got some news for you–nothing is fair.
I wish there was a way to make it all better.
I pray for a way to make you happy
'cause I'm sick and I'm tired
of your whining, complaining,
and bitching and moaning.
boo fucking hoo."
Just remember, she's probably somebody’s mother. Let’s just hope she didn’t pass on the asshole gene to her kids.
You're not sticking up for your "white rights" you dumb bitch. You are making up a child-like lie about your explicitly racist actions by ludicrously denying your own racism. If you want to stick up for your "white rights" you should proudly put on your meanest affected Southern accent and say "Ain't no niggers coming my pool! Praise Jesus!" Instead your lie makes a mockery of the White Race by failing to affirm it's intrinsic greatness. Like Peter denying Christ, so you have sinned against your own racist ancestors who would be embarrassed by your pansy-ass equivocation.
It's people like this that make feel sorry for being of Northern European heritage. What the fuck are "white rights"? And why do these racist asshats rationalize their racist bullshit by saying that they are fighting for their rights?
Hanging up racist signage is a white rite.
In other words-
"Man up, Bitch!"
It's not knee jerk racism, just your garden variety panic racism.
"I'm not a bad person. I just hate n*gger hair products cloudin' up my pool."
I though she was some nasty old lady but she is 31 years old, how can you be that young and that fucking hateful and ignorant?
It's pretty damn easy.
Just like in Pennsyltucky, they start on them young. I mean, with the ingrained racism, not the buggery.
You have never met my sister…. http://thecrankyhousewife.com/
Oh dear. I'm sorry.
Ye Gods. You poor thing. I can see why Thanksgiving is a particular horror for you. From her writing alone she seems downright unhinged. Is she at all like that in real life?
Yes, she is a nutter. Luckily she doesn't talk to us because we associate with undesirables like gayz and blackz so I haven't seen her in almost a decade.
Holidays must be a hoot.
Honey, I'm so sorry. How did you turn out okay?
this is America, Limeylizzie, the land of opportunity. anything can happen here and the streets are paved with gold.
Too bad they're not paved with the Golden Rule.
true dat and it's actually more like they're paved with Golden Corrals.
All wogs begin at Calais.
Actually, wogs begin at Dover.
Mr. Wigg is often misquoted to that effect.
It's so much more xenophobic that way.
LL: I have a feeling you've not spent much time in the Deep South, you fortunate individual. Some places down here, the racist gene is literally (yes) bred in the bone.
You've never been to Cincinnati? Wonderful town (that's sarcasm) where I spent an afternoon once during which I was the subject of two homophobic slurs within three hours. Although, to be fair, the second slur took place in Dayton (and at a cheesy "dinner theater" of all places).
Why doesn't she just up the chlorine level and bleach the black right out?
Vitiligo libel!
She tried that, but FAIL, all it did was blind them.
She was just trying to make them "color-blind".
Do her apartments come with separate rest rooms for blacks? That's historical, right?
Anybody that uses the term "white rights" is totally fucking racist.
Boo-fucking-hoo, it's so hard to be white!
This lady probably just didn't know there's a quick solution to cloudy pools — not being a racist. And then maybe a little more chlorine.
She's not even going to admit to being guilty of bad taste, cuz it's so "historical", like grandma's oak sideboard.
The pool thing pisses me off extra. I am convinced that my bff will drown someday, because when she grew up almost all the folks in her parents' generation could not swim, because the blacks had no access to pools, and then they seldom made sure their own kids learned, either.
These "historins" are fucking racists.
Well, just Newt — but he hates everybody.
I hope somebody poops in her pool.
And sends Bill Murray in a haz-mat suit to fish it out.
"Making the pool cloudy." That's what colored folks do the white gene pool, right?
I'm sure she got the matching signs for the fountain and the restrooms. You know, for the sake of history .
“If I have to stick up for my white rights, I have to stick up for my white rights. It goes both ways,” [Hein said.]
“As Americans we all have the same civil rights,” she said. “That’s really what government’s role is, to protect our civil rights. There shouldn’t be any special rights or special set of criteria based on people's preferences. We all have the same civil rights.” — Michele Bachmann
Suck it, Ms. Hein. Even Batshit Bachmann disagrees with you on this one.
Think Michele was talking about gay people?
Oh right, like Michele's ever considered gays "people."
No, Batshit Bachmann only says she disagrees, in public.
Blacks make pools cloudy? I thought that color was permanent, that it didn't wash off?
Just don't shake hands with one.
Oh lawdy, I'se don't wants to get none on me!
You know, like a load of colors, I hear that we fade over time.
Let's be fair for a moment: It's probably really hard to get off on the filter jet if all you can think about is darky excretions.
It is never, ever hard to get off on the filter jet.
Wasn't Mitten's campaign slogan "Keep American Pools American"?
Slightly off topic, but Original Wonkette A-MC is on MSNBC right now, has grown her hair back, and looks gorgeous.
WHAT? THERE'S BLACK PEOPLE WHO CAN SWIM?!?
Next thing you know, they'll be playing hockey!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamal_Mayers
Or even golf! Wait…what?
And, after that, tennis!
& speed skating.
Did you say skyrim?
Clearly she just needs to pay Newt Gingrich $1.7 million to explain the historical context.
Newt Gingrich must be her "history" teacher
Or David Barton of WallBuilders . He be a nother of Amurikas trashered historins.
Someone should toss a Baby Ruth in that pool.

let's ban Jesus from our Midwinter Yuletide then,, for historical reason… and for Odin
Whaat?? Listen here mister, Jesus was blue-eyed, blond-haired and white white white!
In the words of that great American Rodney King" Can't we all just get along?"
You know, I hate it when PCP addicts are right.
One question, Ms. Hein: What the fuck are "white rights", and how do they differ from "rights"? Just asking.
Is this the white KKKulture Glumm Bleek said Mr. Obama doesn't like?
Guns and Bibles and whites only pools.
She also went on to say that the burning crosses in her field were just there to help her find the way to the outhouse at night.
but it's a whites only outhouse!!!
So…only birds can poop there?
So when Obamacare was shoved down her throat, was that in keeping with "historical" porn?
I forgot all about that Obama's Plan: White Slavery sign. I'm sure glad that the there was no racial component to the Tea Bagger Movement.
racist? no way! and according to a friend of mine with a tea bagger girlfriend, there is no religious component to it, either. also, per another friend of mine: the moon is made of cheese but we can't know that for sure because we've never actually been there!
Poncho, you gotta get some new friends.
truer words…
'fucking' and 'cunt' are two words that are laden with history as well.
If your rights ain't White then your rights ain't Right.
WHITE RIGHTS
WHITE RIGHTS
WHITE RIGHTS
I WANNA RIGHT OF MY OWN
Maybe she's just a big Clash fan?
I'm torn here. I mean, you wouldn't want Mrs Hein sitting at the same lunch counter, would you?
Hein doesn't sound very merkin
I sit on a hein all the time. Don't know bout sittin next to one, tho.
Jamie sweetie, your eyes are like pools … cess pools!
Sounds like something that would happen in Hamilton, OH (Hamiltucky as it's known).
And when she referred to the young swimmer as a "nappy headed ho" she was just quoting Don Imus. For the history. Too. Also.
Not to mention Don Ho. Hawaian history!
This sign (or one very much like it) is in our museum exhibit on Race. It is a historical sign- which is why it is in an exhibit on race and racism. If you have it on your pool- it is is a sign that you are a racist.
Now who want's to take my bet that the lovely Ms. Hein watches Fox News?
I visited this cute little town outside of Munich several years ago and they had this place that was, I dunno, some kind of reeducation camp. Anyway, above the entrance to this camp they had a "historical sign" that announced, "Arbeit Macht Frei". I'm sure with a little effort Ms. Hein could purchase this sign and put it above the doorway to her shop.
Thanks, Cincinnati. I was almost not embarrassed to be from there. Thanks for snapping me back to reality.
"If I have to stick up for my white rights, I have to stick up for my white rights."
Your choice of words here tells us everything we need to know about you, lady.
Racist signs are everywhere.After the Rodney King Incident the L.A.P.D. changed the slogan on their squad cars from" Too serve,and Protect" to " We'll treat you like a King".
I hope the little girl took the opportunity to pee in the pool. I might drop by and do it myself tomorrow night, just to be sure it remains cloudy.
Jeezus Christ on a (flaming) cross, WTF is wrong with the human race? It's not just that she's a fucking racist, it's that she is utterly clueless that she's a fucking racist.
Racists are so cute when they refuse to cop to their racism, while proceeding to be really really racist. It's especially attractive in women.
you know these people use terms like 'nazi' and 'slavery' with unseemly ease.
maybe someone should introduce landlord lady Jamie Hein of Cincinnati to what they were like in practice.
The important thing now is, who among the GOP candidates will Hein now give her endorsement to?
Well, I feel like I have the right to butt-fuck you with a corn cob, bitch-now bend over and drop yer laundry.
Yes, but how does this affect Sarah Palin?
Bless her heart. Ms. Hein, why don't you take a long dive into a shallow pool? Thanks.
How can 14,000 (avg size) cubic feet of water get clouded by one little girl. This reminds of what a friend told me a clerk at a department store told him when went to return a jacket he'd purchased the day before. The clerk says he couldn't exchange it cause it's been worn (hey, it's a jacket lady) and that he got hair chemicals around the collar (it was leather). Only problem is, he's never used hair chemicals (he has naturally wavy hair). Nonetheless, he asked for the manager and the exchange was allowed. I guess these type people just look for any little nonsensical thing they can come up with to justify discrimination.
Peasants begin at Watford Gap…
What begins at Camden Town, then?
