racism from today
Dear Kettering Rec Center,
Your website says you are open to the public.
Your website does not specify what ‘public’ means.
Public could mean anything
Your website does not say that only Ohio people may visit.
My friend and her Aunt and Mother WHO LIVE IN DAYTON were told they had to produce paperwork proving their address was in Kettering.
Last I checked this was not a requirement for EVERYONE wishing to use the park.
The only difference between my friend and myself vs. EVERYONE else is the color of our skin.
I have been stopped twice in kettering and each time it was b/c I had a black passenger.
I am a college educated black woman with a B.S. in Technical Communications from a private Christian University, I do not take playing the race card lightly. I am not a fool, nor will I continue to support a city that treats me as such.
