OHIO WOMAN posted in her Apt Building swimming pool…”WHITES ONLY” Really in 2011??
One would think it'd be a slam-dunk case in 2011, but a landlady who posted a 'White Only' sign by her pool claims she did nothing wrong.
An probe by the Ohio Civil Rights Commission revealed that Jamie Hein put up a sign in May that read 'Public Swimming Pool, White Only.'
Several witnesses confirmed that the sign was posted, but Ms Hein said she did it because a black teen visiting her parents at her duplex used chemicals in her hair that made the water 'cloudy'.
The Ohio Civil Rights Commission found on September 29 that Jamie Hein, who's white, violated the Ohio Civil Rights Act by posting the sign..
The commission said: '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'.
Pool of trouble: Several witnesses confirmed that the 'White Only' sign was posted, and Jamie Hein indicated that she posted it because the girl used chemicals in her hair that would make the pool 'cloudy'
Ms Hein, of Cincinnati, hung up when The Associated Press called her for comment Tuesday. A message was left at her lawyer's office.
The commission's statement said that its investigation concluded that the posting of such a sign 'restricts the social interaction between Caucasians and African-Americans and reinforces discriminatory actions aimed at oppressing people of color.'
Commissioners were scheduled to hear Ms Hein's request for reconsideration at a meeting Thursday in Columbus, commission spokeswoman Brandi Martin said.
If the commissioners uphold their original finding, the case would be referred to the Ohio attorney general's office, which would represent the commission's findings before an administrative law judge, Martin said.


Penalties in the case could include a cease-and-desist order and even punitive damages, but the administrative law judge would determine any penalties, Ms Martin said.
She added that It still would be possible for the parties to reach a settlement before resorting to legal action.
Any decision by the administrative judge could be appealed to Hamilton County Common Pleas Court in Cincinnati, according to Ms Martin. 

Can you believe this woman?...SERIOUSLY!?!
