Missouri Water Park Cancels Black Family's Party | âWhat Are You Scared Of, Leeâs Summit?
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 10. 08. 2022
- What would you do if you paid thousands of dollars for your child's party, and when you show up, the public facility says the party you paid for is canceled because they don't comfortable?
Lee's Summit Parks and Recreation did release a statement detailing their investigation of the incident.
Here's what part of it said:
"Lee's Summit Parks and Recreation (LSPR) has completed an internal review of the cancellation of a private event scheduled for August 6. The review identified missed processes and miscommunication that led to the cancellation. A sincere apology is owed to the Evans family and our Lee's Summit community. LSPR strives to be a respectful and inclusive organization where all members of our community feel welcome and appreciated. Inappropriate language, social media posts and behavior are not acceptable and will not be tolerated." ~ Joe Snook, Administrator
On Thursday, Roland Martin spoke with Chris Evans and his attorney Ivan L. Nugent about this disturbing incident.

@@Jleed989 As the biggest Crooks sit in political positions and Rob everyone đđŸ đ€Ą
Things would go so much smoother then dealing with Karenâs in that black family need to call corporate on the park manager sheâs was rude in out of mines Tours them
As soon we open them they create new taxes to shut us down.. systematic racism all over again
Blk ppl dont show up ONTIME,so,no..
When she said, no the police are here for me, paints the entire picture.
Exactly
I thought the same thing. Her attitude when she said that told us everything we need to know. And then she was hushed when the mother told them they booked their own security through the Police Department.
NO DOUBT it paints the entire picture. This is ridiculous. I'm proud of this family for bringing this to the public eye.
Exactly

"We are a public entity"
OMG that is a gigantic lawsuit.
Itâs The Grown Ups Fault for Placing These Children to High Levels of Bigotry!!
Was sheâuncomfortableâ with ALL the $$$$ the family spent?!?!
Absolutely disgusting! I found it interesting watching her squirm when asked several times what she didn't feel "comfortable" with. She said exactly enough by not saying anything!
Silence speaks volumes.
@@DJB635Right!! But Body language speaks even louder volumes! đ
Let
I hear Ya.@@ZaneiYah
P]]
SHE SAID IT ALL, WHEN SHE SAID,WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT THAT SAID IT ALL...
White privileges !!!!!
Right . They want no black people. There. In other words.
Unfortunately, she was telling the truth. That's why we must learn how to be more creative and get our own.
@@whatstheword1478 all these super stars black at that ain't helping they don't even own nothing so explain how is that possible for us to start our own society ? And when we once had that they took it from us and made sure we'll never get it back lol
@@bettyteague1390 there's folks doing there own thing as far as building a community however, it seems to be the few..."the question is what about you?" Rather than "what about us?!"
This is heartbreakingly disgustingâŒïž Her words and body language said it allâŒïž As a white woman married to a black man/family and my white son from a previous marriage married to a black women we deal with racism all the time in many different ways. My husband and I have black grandchildren and biracial grandchildren and so we have a completely blended family thatâs beautiful but the sadness we have to deal with at times from others ignorance is disrespectful but itâs also the way the world is now a days. I pray this gets out all over for many others to see and they file actions and even actions against her.
I don't Gove fuck w power
The way the world is nowadays???? Your pple have been raycist since the beginning of time. As a yt woman you donât face racism but your husband and kids do so why are you saying âwe?â
This is ridiculous and I am sorry that family had to endure that type of behavior.
I understand their frustration. However, Iâm not arguing with someone to take my money. I would have politely took my full refund and asked for her reasoning in writing and filed a civil suit. You have to beat them at their own game. Iâve been through similar situations with these kinds of people who think they can make up things as they go. I remained calm, put on my business face and quietly handled the situation behind the scenes.
Lovely and well said.
They took the money beforehand
We always not saying something to their faces. Our aggression makes them uncomfortable, so why not give them a taste of our ire. My daughterâs principle threw a rock and hid his hands, which made him comfortable. But for her teachers quitting this principle got to sit in his comfort while my family dealt with all kinds of fall out; we moved to DC to get away from this crap.
Plus, his childâs day was ruined END OF STORY.
Exactly Im not going to be outside yelling like an animal smh.
And besides that the party was still cancelled.
Good luck. Writing a complaint goes nowhere with the government. DMV and post office are two good examples.
So, when are we gonna stop letting them do this?! Companies show us often how they feel about us and we still patronize them. STOP DOING THAT!!! Stop giving them money. I've heard people say "black people are forgiving". Stop being like that (in terms of spending our money). When the companies discriminate, don't spend your money there. Starbucks, Denny's and now this place.
It's a public facility! As taxpayers they have already funded this center. They have every right to utilize this space.
When we make our own places!
You're right! Actually, they EXPECT black people to be forgiving, turn the other cheek and take it. They think a raggedy, apology will do and we'll be happy with that.
I agree you will never see this happening to the Chinese or other Asians because they patronize their own, we should learn from them, as we once did when we had Black Wall street, and we can do it again, no more excuses with black Billionaires like Oprah JayZ, Kanye West, Michael Jordan, and soon to be Billionaire Rihana, and others that are moving in silence that will be emerging as billionaires n the future, if we put on our thinking cap and come together to build our own Black wall street and Wakanda we can our suffering and start prospering. How do you think the Asians did it because they support their own from the very wealthy to the very poor?
Yes and sue them
She said Iâm âuncomfortableâ because of social media? I think sometimes I rather go back to when they would just say it in your face.
As a child, I was left out of birthday parties for classmates because of racism. Hearing the other kids discuss the party in class on Monday morning only heightened the shame and frustration I felt. Seeing this and other racist incidents returns me to those feelings.
Please note I haven't mentioned what kind of racism I faced. Color? Creed? Culture? Does it matter?
It's to be expected in the world's most racist country on earth, the United States.
I wouldnât even have stood there talking to them. Just give me my refund now and Iâll keep it moving and I would never do any business with them again. Once I feel discriminated against by a business I never return. I know itâs upsetting but we as black people need to realize that no matter how much we yell it wonât make certain businesses treat us fairly. We just have to permanently boycott these places when we find out that they are like that. I know we feel like we shouldnât have to because we are American but why would you want to give your money to and go to a place where you weâll be mistreated or made to feel unwelcome because of the color of your skin? Iâd just plan another party for my child.
It's a public recreation center!!
I totally agree we should start boycotting any businesses that discriminate against us, better still to avoid that why not build our own water parks if people like Oprah, JayZ, and Michael Jordan, who are Billionaires could just do this we wouldn't need to patronize any white-owned water parks.
This is exactly why I vacation and spend my money with my own people in the Motherland! This is so embarrassing for my people!đŁđŁđŁ
@@blackafrikansoulja9093 I said that recently on social media. What I got back from most black folk. Excuses that it wouldn't work, black people just don't have the mental ability to build for themselves. I say well stop complaining about how some whites treat you. Rich black billionaires and multi millionaires won't spread the love because they know who butters their bread if you know what I mean.
I agree with you but the park manager should've notified the parents way before the event was to take place so they could make other arrangements.
She was so proud to say theses (cops)are for me.đ€ŠđżââïžKaren is going to have a bad Friday she famous.đ
So, white cops are only for white folks? This is so pathetic!
They're acting like they are the only ones paying for protection from the police/as long as you working hard as me contributing been positive attitude/paying taxes your paying for security fees/thanks you!
Lol white people insert themselves in drama to have the remaining feeling of feeling like hey are superior.....if they never even payed her attention
@@ifearless495Exactly!!A PRIVATE PARTY was paid for 250 people ,anything extra is the parks responsibility to let in or not ,this was humiliating, disgusting ,disrespectful and absolutely RACIST.This is a a lesson if nothing else stop giving these places our earned hard money.peering at people on the internet before they come to their establishment isF- ing weird as AFđ€Šđżââïž
That's how it be though for the most part po po for them đ. Missouri for the most part racist đ. Just very few Missouri not racist. The ones with the mix kids seem less racist in Missouri. It really depends on the person upbringings đ
That's outrageous!!!! Especially canceled on the day of the party, there's so much wrong with this!!!
They called the police to be there when you arrived. This was not a criminal matter when she refused their entrance and cancelled their party. The cancellation was a civil matter. Sue the shit out of them and the police. The cops knew it was civil and should have conveyed that to the park rep.
*We need to create our own spaces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
True
What we need to do is stick together and go toe to toe with these evil a** racist ppl
THATS THE SAME THING I SAID.....
@@mrspookman6968 we literally had our own sports and we intergraded with white society and yâall wanted our players so yâall changed the rules to help yâall we had hospitals schools government and our resources yâall stole when yâall violated all the treaties we put in place yâall and by yâall you who think we less than boy please learn history not his story
This is a public facility. It is their space.
I hope this family get a hefty settlement. This is ridiculous!!!!
đŻ
They don't deserve a settlement can't u hear they caused a hostile situation
They posted invitations online technically they breached the stipulations đ€·đŸââïž I get the man but rules is rules
ââ@@kayleamransey9473 yeah they do, they didnt "deserve" to be treated that way and they must pay. Hostile? Where, when? And, if you had paid your hard earned money to have a kids party at a facility that had no problems booking you for that space, you would question why the sudden change of heart, so stop it with the bullshit. Don't be ignorant
â@@ratchetrock443 link?
I'm so sorry this happened! You had a contract and there was no legitimate reason your event didn't occur!
Iâm from the U.K. and Iâm absolutely disgusted with this incident against this family
This should not be happening in todayâs society
I hope the family take this further and get their justice
How sad that this goes on
Best wishes to the family
A Wakanda Styled water park would be beautiful. A place where we call the shots. All are welcome but we make the rules to protect our people.
"Grand opening, grand closing" ~Chris Rockđ€Ł
That park would be ghettos as hell, Nu-Nile oil slick in the pool,constant fights ,multiple weaves like seaweed floating about, grand opening and closing in one weekend! Can you imagine the promo's " Drive by Friday 's" or Catch a Bullet Saturday's and for the 300 pounds sistas,unlimited supply of cocoa butter for the stretchmarks! You can have it!
That would be đ„!
Hey keep that amazing plan to yourself
I was thinking the very same thing when all the stuff came up with the Sesame Place parade ignoring the black kids. Why can't we come together and build our own water parks and entertainment areas for our families! We've done it before with Black Wall Street and other cities, we can do it again.
this should become national news, so we can see how many ppl really think the facility is in the wrong. Due process to out this type of discrimination is needed to make progress.
Go read the whole story. They violated contract by advertising on social media the event. They showed up with 500 people and the party limit was 250. If this is true nothing racist here.
@@jamescash887 NOT TRUE! you know damn well what this was about!
@@jamescash887 more information has come out and the park canceled the reservation before the family even showed up to the park. The park did not inform the family of the cancelation
@@daughterofzion778 I saw that. They also said they tried to contact them and no one answered. Again, a bunch of fingering pointing and I am not sure who is in the right or wrong. What I still want to know is if the family violated contract or not. What evidence do they have?
@@TC16842 no no I donât. The park is saying one thing and the family is saying another. Itâs real simple. Did they have a contract? If yes, did they violate that contract? All this other side stuff is just a bunch of fluff. Just because someone cries race doesnât make it true. All you need to see are examples such as Jussie Smollett, Duke LaCrosse case, and black NASCAR driver who all lied. Letâs quit with the speculation and guessing get down to facts.
So sad this is happening modern day. Those teenagers, young people should not have to be subjected to such injustices.
It's right-wing racism and fascism.
15 phone calls from people who wanted to know the rules and regulations. That's good parenting.
Sue the fuck out of them, especially if that isn't in the contract! The issue is the color of your skin, PERIOD!
The issue was, that RM failed to explain, that the contract stated, NOT to post, advertise, invite using social media. Well, the kid did just that on his social pages, to all 19,000 followers. Get the whole story, instead of snippets, to fuel a false narrative.
No it was all about the color of there skin. If the head count was 250 then no one pass 250 gets in. The WHITE lady clearly said âSHEâ didnât feel comfortable. Maybe you should listen more carefully
@matt thacker
Totally agreedâŠ.
@@mattthacker9120 lol and they would lose. How do you invite anyone? Social media is any media thats social. websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking. Text message and your phone is computer and is tied to social media Also, the park would have to prove the ppl that paid for it post it on media to be considered them marketing it. Which I doubt that the park had access to personal accounts.
Ridiculous. I hope you win a civil action lawsuit against this company. đŁ
Then what?
Have you ever went through this with your children???
Who's going to pay.
Why? They broke the agreement. They should not get anything..
250 billion
All people who believe in liberty and justice for all, boycott this business!
Why do the companies always type a big apology and never show their faces đ€ŠđŸââïž
AND, EMPLOYER AT POOL SEEMS RACIST. BOYCOTT THAT DAMN FACILITY.
No that's what they want for all POC to stay out! Fuck them show up everyday, bombard the place with color and let their true hatful colors show so the world can see!
See how she said the police are for her. And he agreed. Lol
Such a joke!
Give me my refund expedited.
Go where you are celebrated, Walt Disney was a racist but your money green. Somebody of color open a park area just for US so we can feel safe and wanted.
There needs to be personal consequences for these microaggressions. Racism must come at a cost. I'd certainly go after that bigoted manager.
blacks are the most racist. maybe that's the problem. stop blaming everything on white people.
Cold part is that it hasn't or doesn't not with cost of monetary but life value which is absurdly disturbing....
The renters broke the contract
@@Patriot11111 no they didnt break any contract. She said she felt uncomfortable and that was why she wouldnt let them in. Literally. Watch it again.
@@AnthonySmith-gf1oe
She felt that way because it was put out on social media which they said they would not do.
They paid for 250 people swimming. They wouldn't be uncomfortable if 250 black people were building the pool for free
All the Black people should just Stop Patronizing that Facility and see how long they stay in Business. Stop Accepting this Behavior. That's it !!!!!
She had no right to cancel that party. She said that they were a public facility and had a right to cancel the party. That was a total lie. If it was a private facility that may have been true.
Exactly
THE ISSUE WAS THAT IS WAS A GROUP OF BLACKS - BOTTOM LINE!!

Please research before just claiming things to be true at face value. The agreement stated only 250 people are allowed and they are not suppose to advertise it all over social media. They did and 500+ people showed up.
They broke the agreement, so the pool tried to reach out to the family when parents of attending kids reached out with safety questions or how to get there. This is how they found out the renting family broke the agreement by advertising it. They tried to call, multiple times, they tried to reach out to go over the agreement one more time before the day itself so that the pool wouldn't have to cancel; The family did not respond so they canceled the party and instead the renting family still just showed up with 500+ people.
Y'all yell racism at everything and this is why nobody takes us serious. Do a little more research, because this is how it went and if you break an agreement before the event even started.. and your party gets cancelled before hand but you don't respond.. how is this racism? They did not know beforehand who would show up, all they knew is that one of their renters clearly broke the agreement already.
You can not go into an agreement, then break it.. then yell racism. This news outlet depicts a very biased reenactment of what actually happened. We can not keep using the race card, do better people.
@@marlenemartin6302 Not with that kind of attitude.
Until they bomb us again.
Why is this been taken out of context? I thought the story was they rented the place for a party of 250 but a total of 500 or more showed up since the renters posted that anyone could show up. But since the party was only for up to 250 they only had enough employees to take care for 250 any more is a violation of safety which of course they wouldn't do. Someone gets hurt and they would get sue. The renters did not respect the terms of the agreement from the beginning. Not all is about racism. If I was the owner I would have done the same to anyone.
I Would demand a refund back if my family and I had to plan a event like this.
HOW DARE THAT PARK BOOKS THE EVENT AND CALL TO SAY IT WAS CANCELLED!
Can we stop begging for their love and attention
I don't even look at these people anymore just keep a smile on my face i see what is going on â€ïžđđŸ
It's TIME for the African American Community to build their own public pool. If others don't want their money or their business. God will absolutely repay any evil or discrimination the family has received with MAJOR Blessings. I speak that into existence, in the Name of Jesus.
In the name of God, Jesus has nothing to do with this Ma'am!!!

They would just tear the shit up . Thugs want let the kids play in peace anyway
Iâm black and I wouldnât even attend an all black anything. I can see it going well for awhile and then have gang related shootings or just some MESS. No thank you
This is sickening I hope they sued the crap out of that place!
Horrible i cant believe shit like this happens in America today. What is wrong with people? Makes me sick America. Mississippi is wrong for the things they do to our brothers and sisters. Stay blessed stay safe and hopefully one day we can end racism together. đ
Build our own stuff, treat it with respect, support the business and quit trying to push ourselves where we're not wanted.
What for? If we did it isnât like we would support it. We will still try to go to the other side of the tracks.
That Lady. That prejudice lady. Should be fired. Immediately.
This is why Black people need to come together and start a new Black Wall Street. Do your research. It is possible.
This was obviously racially motivated. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out.
This is a PUBLICLY OWNED VENUE, folks can't be expected to find another venue in such a case. This is supposed to be for EVERYONE to use. This is no different than 60-years ago when black folks weren't allowed into public swimming pools.
They advertised - hundreds came
2 race hustlers - make that 3
Precisely đŻđŻ
Yep. And they started filling pools with cement in some Black neighborhoods which led to mostly little black boys sneaking out late night to pools unsupervised and Drowning. So there is a story behind t be stereotype that Black folk cant swim. If multiple generations never learned to swim because public pools and beaches said "whites only" what happens? Unless you were the rare upper middle class Black families who could afford a pool in their backyard, learning to swim would be a challenge because generation after generation never had the opportunity to learn. Summertime for most Black folk in the hood as even an 80s kid like me was turning on the nearest fire hydrant and getting splashed by cold water! My first time in a pool was in high school circa 1998 at a white classmate's house. And by that time I was happy just wading in the water on the shallow end. đ

very typical leftist propaganda
Your on point!...now I'm not from Las Vegas however, who was the beautiful black actress that got "ex communicado" from dipping her feet in the pool?!

@@sanne356 Thanks for giving more detail on this situation. Iâm not a fan of jumping to conclusions without all the facts.

Wow, I can not even get past her attitude, hands on her hips representing the City? She should not work with the public if she is uncomfortable period. The City was comfortable taking their money. She totally disrespected alll of them, how about a public apology how rude! This world has gone out azz backwards.
Taken the money đ°
This is how a lot of government employees act. I canât tell you how many times I have been down to my post office or DMV and there is some overweight, black, ghetto popping her gum being rude asf. Thatâs just my experience. I can tell you itâs the entitled âI work for the government and nothing you can doâ attitude. I donât think itâs a race issue so much as a government culture.

When you keep supporting places, companies and retailers that discriminate against you then you are part of your own problem. I'm not going to argue or beg someone to take my money where I'm not welcome.
And they had the nerve to call them and apologize and said they're going to talk to the staff and take appropriate action there's only one form of action that needs to be taken you're all fired and they should be made to make a public apology to their faces
SUE EM and EXPOSE THEM. Get your millions for their stupidity

They broke their contract đ€Ą 500 people showed up when there was in the agreement only 250 people can be there
nope. sue blacks instead for all their discrimination. and for all their hate speech.
The reason they're comfortable with 600 people everyday is that 590 of them are probably wht. What difference does it make if they posted it on social media or not, if only 250 people are allowed in the park that night ? I'm sure you a counter at the gate so when you reach 250 people you cut it off. That park gets funding from the state so it's not a private water park. I worked for park and recreation doing the summer when I was young back in DC. It was a place that parents were able to drop their kid's off in the summer time to keep them of the streets and keep them safe. We would take them to Kings Dominion and all other different events.
Then when you cut it off, there will be screams of discrimination from those left outside. You canât win
@@Jleed989 how is that racist, if they put it on social media I'm sure they said only 250 people will be let in. But for that woman to say she felt uncomfortable not that there's too many people here.

My God, are you that obtuse to believe that contracts can be overruled by your imaginary belief that black people pull the race card for anything and everything? We understand contracts, apparently, you donât, and neither does Leeâs Summit, which is why I hope they sue them into oblivion and the lady gets fired for being a gitdamn idiot and not knowing the legalities and procedures of her job.

@@Jleed989 why do you people always assume the worst of black people?
They only have a certain amount of employees and if only enough lifeguards for 250 people are there, they can't possibly watch everyone.
Contracts are there for a reason.
Oops...speak volumes to have the cops in advance, also, that was a public park not privately owned! They don't deserve those people's money! Open a black only water park!!!
Hereâs one of many cues to get your own stuff. If you can pay for a day at a park to have a party, why not pool your money together, families, and build your own park for you own people. If they can do it, yâall can do it. You canât make people care about you. But you can move along when you see something you like, and make your own. Who knows, you can probably make it better. Use that law suit money. Look at all these celebs and ball players with all that money. Maybe you can hit them upâŠ.see how much they really care. JussayinâŠ
Refund my money at the time of cancellation and wait for notification of a lawsuit.
The end!
I hope the family sues the hell out of this facility and wins! đ€Ź
Well for what I heard they broke the agreement it was only 250 people and 500 showed up by advertising online. So to be honest they should had better communications bw both parties
They will only get a refund. There is more to this story than they are telling you.
@@MrAlvarez23 answers some of my questions, not all though.
@@MrAlvarez23 they cancelled the party before anyone had sgown up really. They barely had 20, 30. The reason she gave for not letting them in is she was uncomfortable. Literally her only reason. She was wrong.
Saying the cops are there for HER is so entitledâŠ
Iâm so tired of these folks. The new phrase for them is âYouâre making me uncomfortableâ. My sonâs white supervisor said the same thing when she tried to get him sent home last night from work because he had to use the restroom. Her issue went from the duration of his stay in the restroom, to heâs making her uncomfortable with his smiling out of mere shock, to his laughter making her uncomfortable. Sounds like she needed to be on someoneâs couch, not work. She has serious psychological issues.
I have learned itâs not worth the arguing. We know how these people are, and how they operate. Get your refund. Document with a video asking why. And throw them to the internet. There is no reasoning with these types of people. Go after them on the internet.
What happens on the internet today is forgotten tomorrow. Replaced by the next big social cause
No not the internet go after them in court until you win never stop fight this type of establishment... It's so sad that people of color still have to go through this..
The lifeguard who posted the derogatory language should be fired. I remember when my children were in high school, the principal told parents; students are representatives of the school
They should close this water park permanently of racial discrimination. And this lady arrested for hate crime.
How freakin big is this place that they can accommodate 1400 people for ONE party, and still have room for other patrons/parties? Sheesh, that place must be huge!
The police is there for her. Wow!!!â
The miscommunication is, when ordering the event, they (the park) did not know the event was for BLACK PEOPLE, HAD THEY KNOWN, they would not have been allowed from the GET GO. AND, THEY (THE PARK) are going to put a SPIN ON THE SITUATION that will not make any sense. A.K.A., PULLIN A HERSCHEL WALKER. DO NOT LET THEM "INSULT" YOUR INTELLIGENCE âïž
đđżđđżđđż
Of course Michael Calhoun has hit the nail directly on the head, no bs.
The problem isnât because they weâre blackâŠpost to social media the calls to the park & to the parents who reserved the park not responding itâs a lot just get a refund the end.
@@sweetiepie756 exactly this kinda shit makes the real injustice less credible. Like tell the full story
If you never rented from an venue as such please donât comment. You have to make the payment in person & then they show you where your venue is located along with arrival time. Then you sign your contract with an deposit along with information of deadline of full payment. Everyone is not out to get Black people. Once that birthday party was posted on social media it was a wrap simple as that. Let not forget the numerous phone calls from anonymous people who wasnât even invited or knew the teenager period. Sounds as if the park already been down this rabbit hole and stopped this fiasco in its tracks. Again rent the entire park out but they only had 5 lifeguards & under staffed. 250 people? Come on this solely lies on the parents and their lack of awareness. Why wait for a tragedy when you can prevent one.
They paid for 250 people, but 500 people wanted to enter inside the park? Something ain't right with this story.
I think something wasn't fully disclosed here. I believe the social media comment was in reference to ppl constantly calling for info about the party who saw the random invite on social media. Truthfully, you can't control what gets passed around on social media unless you have some type of "cap" built in (rsvp, etc.). How many of us would want to be on the other end of this ordeal where you are constantly turning away ppl "beyond the max" because they saw a party on social media? I would not. On another note, if this was INDEED THE CASE, this facility should have canceled with this family BEFORE the day of the party and given their money back. PERIOD Beause they did not notify this family they should be responsible for every cost they incurred.
The "Missed processes" comment isn't true (7:07). The woman clearly stated that the event was cancelled because SHE was "uncomfortable".
That's a CYA answer. Trying to find a reason.
Yeah, sounds like a personal decision only!
And she didnât even have to be there , tf
Please research before just claiming things to be true at face value. The agreement stated only 250 people are allowed and they are not suppose to advertise it all over social media. They did and 500+ people showed up.
They broke the agreement, so the pool tried to reach out to the family when parents of attending kids reached out with safety questions or how to get there. This is how they found out the renting family broke the agreement by advertising it. They tried to call, multiple times, they tried to reach out to go over the agreement one more time before the day itself so that the pool wouldn't have to cancel; The family did not respond so they canceled the party and instead the renting family still just showed up with 500+ people.
Y'all yell racism at everything and this is why nobody takes us serious. Do a little more research, because this is how it went and if you break an agreement before the event even started.. and your party gets cancelled before hand but you don't respond.. how is this racism? They did not know beforehand who would show up, all they knew is that one of their renters clearly broke the agreement already.
You can not go into an agreement, then break it.. then yell racism. This news outlet depicts a very biased reenactment of what actually happened. We can not keep using the race card, do better people.
ALSO she was talking, "I am uncomfortable" wasn't the whole sentence, she git interrupted by someone yelling "Because we're black". She was trying to explain the safety hazards that she was uncomfortable with.
I am 38 years and have been swimming since the early 90s. If two or more black folks enter a pool, 5 minutes later all the white folks will exit the pool.
The same thing happened at the Hilton Grand in Orlando with us. We don't care because we had more room to swim. The Spanish speaking people stayed and we played with the beach ball and had a good time.
Where do you live? My lord..
@@Tayjahbaby8371. This happens in NC, SC, FL, and Texas.
I don't want to be around pink people that's why I vacation and spend my black dollars with my own people in the Motherland!â€
Once they all run out, we should wait to have the pool disinfected before getting in.
Iâm glad the brother took control because the sister was ready to turn upđ€Ł
This is a public, tax payer funded facility. It's time that we eliminate all racism in our government and government funded entities. It's so upsetting that this happened yet I'm glad that attention is being put on this facility. Clearly there is some discrimination going on there and it needs to stop.
Joe Snook talking bout missed processes and miscommunication was the reason for cancellation, but lil Karen clearly stated it was due to the fact she felt uncomfortable. Now they blaming it on social media invites? Oh theyâre reaching reaching đđ
ALWAYS.
Lmao exactly!!!
That lifeguard is straight up a racist. She need to be fired. The facility was totally wrong in what did to this family because the employee never intended to return the money! The employee didn't give this family enough time to find another facility. The administration gave a b/s statement.
YOU KNOW SOMETIME EVERYTHING IS NOT RACIST.....SHE JUST WAS SPEACKING HER MIND.....WE NEED OUR OWN PLACES TO GO TO... BOTTOM LINE
@@tjsmite No she was straight up being an entired Karen, who was both unprofessional and discourteous . Especially when she did Snap Chat with a racist message. That is going to cost her facility and that city money. She was unprofessional because she should of called the family in enough time so they could of found another facility. Plus, she never intended to give the money back! I am wondering how many people she did this tactics to.
@@tjsmite So in fact she was racist.
If smack a Karen was a person... And I get so tired of these gaslighters trying to act like bp look for unfair treatment. We know when ish is not right gtfohđ
Ok we need to get the full story. They apparently werenât supposed to advertise the event on social media. The party was for 250 people and they showed up with 500. If they did that then they breached contract. Thatâs on them.
Definitely not bout that life. The uneducated is not educated. Salute, Big Nick !
What was misses??? The teens may have told other kids via social media but not the adults who paid!!! If the water park has been at full capacity in the past then why shut this party down??? Racist!!
With this being a public facility. A Civil suit is warranted & should hold up with at least a partially unbiased judge...but it would take much time & resources. I'd never visit this park again.
And the FBI should also bring a case against them for violating their civil rights. You know that lady was lying, she didn't get 15 calls. If she felt uncomfortable she could leave. Missed processes and miscommunication is on the part of the park, not the partygoers.
@@rejeanafreeman945 Sure, but it has to be proven & convinced before a (most likely) all white jury & crooked judge without a shadow of doubt....is it worth the time?
And if we got our own
Place and it did good,
best believe the race soldiers will be there every weekend. đź
If the park normally sells out to 600 people parties or more and they only had 250, yet (the people hosting the 250) they hired extra security. Why? There was obviously something on social media that was said that pulled the breaks on the whole thing. There was an underlying issue. Why would they need to hire security beyond what the park provided? Lots of red flags.
They hired security because park security wouldnt be at the party. They would be off the clock. And as you pointed out even if they had more than 250 the park can hold more , 1400 to be exact and could have been paid for just 200$ . they cancelled soley because the woman at the park said she felt uncomfortable. Literally.
GLAD SOMEONE IS EXPOSING THIS PLACE....BOYCOTT THEM SESAME PLACE AND ALL PARKS LIKE THEM......
IS THIS DEMOCRACY ??? I KEEP HEARING CERTAIN FOLKS USE THE TERM DEMOCRACY AND RULE OF LAW A LOT OVER SEAS âŠ. BUT BLACK FOLKS CANT GET THAT DEMOCRACY HERE đ€đ·
I would have liked to have some clarity from this organization on what kinds of complaints were sent to her on social media. Were these people making threats to the park district or were they threats aimed at the family and they were trying to prevent fatalities or injuries because of protesters and the park district wouldn't have been able to guarantee the families' safety. If that was the case, the family at least had the right to know. I would want to know if it was explained to the family that the party could be cancelled at any time before the park district took their money. Is it in writing anywhere? I can't help but feel there is more to the story than was filmed here. I would want details of the complaints.
This is another business I will never patronize. I don't do business with racists and fascists.
It's extremely unfortunate that these demons are still amongst us, however, our own kind doesn't even bother to invest in entertainment to avoid such foolishness đč like the Never Ever Land that MJ built didn't invite our kind to the property however when they turned on him it's when he started trying to reach back for our support đ There's enough Black successful people in American who could start investing in businesses that welcome their own people âïž
I agree with your sentiments. However your statement about MJ is completely out of line and blatantly false!!!
Here we go again, with the racist comments
Nothing but the truthh!!!
There is also enough good BLACK Attorneys to drain those WHITE bank accounts too! Kudos to the attorney that took their case. We need more Black Judges and Black Journalists. Iâm not having them back me into a corner making me feel like I have to self-segregate! They have businesses that are supposed to serve everybody. AND I believe there should be more black businesses, but those businesses should have access to dollars from everyone just like every other business.
Let them destroy a black owned park then
I'd like to thank the LSPR unbehalf of this African American family, for the large cash award they are inevitably about to receive. White folks are so generous! Always looking for new ways to make BLACK people rich/er. Thank you, Johnny Reb!!!đđœđđœđđœđđœ

The fact they hired "extra security" tells it all.
She worried about social media. So when the black family booked the party ,you began to follow them on Social Media? Why?
I hope they get a nice settlement
That is their community
Why should anyone who breaks the rules and terms of an legal and binding agreement get a financial settlement?
@@gottagrind2shine607 bitch what? Community is for everyone, that's why it's called a community. Smh
What rules did they break. The young man posted on his own social media. They had their own security and was capping at 250. They never got a chance to go inside. The park is trying to cover their ass by saying they broke a social media rule.
@@ljones827 There you go, you answered your own question about rules. The people in charge of the park didn't want those youngsters wild n out. Think !! Would you? Too much liability. Adios pendejo đđŒ
I would sue the Fk out of them. I want my money back
SHUT THAT SHIT DOWN
I was right behind this family the day this happened, Race is a big factorâŠ..I was in a âkiddie poolâ section with my son & nephew ages 6 & 2âŠ.. was asked repeatedly to leave that section because I was over the weight limit although Iâm sitting here supervising my babies to ensure their safetyâŠ.. Now Iâm 5â7 140lbs and there was an older white woman well over 200 lbs (with children as well) that I watched closely after someone approached me 2 timesâŠ.. they never said anything to her. The place was not super packed that day and certainly not over 500 people there.
It is my belief that empathy should be the central paradigm of our humanity. The park official who demonstrated a complete lack of empathy in the video demonstrates her inhumanity. This inhumane behaviour, compounded by her lack of professionalism, makes her a poor representative for the park. She should be terminated from her position. There should also be an investigation into other park employees who were responsible for the cancellation and these employees should be fired as well. In addition the park staff who made the offensive social media posts should be fired. Finally, I suggest a boycott of the park and suggest that this boycott be covered by nationwide media. After writing this I realized this situation occurred 1 year ago. Would someone please post an update of the current situation surrounding this cancellation? Thank you.
SO SICK AND TIRED OF THIS CRAP!!!!
Solution to the problem, is for us to start creating and building our own and start supporting my own community that is exactly how we can keep the money in the community by creating and building the Bible says all things are possible so letâs get to work
@@unionwestcorp8973 so in other words you want to segregate yourselves again
@@unionwestcorp8973 that will never happen most black people do not patronize black businesses because if truth be told we don't have customer service down pack we don't know how to treat people first in order to create a business in the black community we need to get rid of the Thugs with the guns that's killing our babies and innocent people
Me 2 can't even watch these stuff anymore â€ïžđđŸ
@@reytech1786 yes why not? This desegregation is not working out and plus I think we were better off.
Folks say they would never visit again?! Naw, that is what THEY want them to do: to never have a single black person to ever come again. They think they're "uncomfortable" now? I say make it a black out. Take it over. Bring every cook out, celebration, scout jamboree with the biggest, loudest, blue blackest folks you can find. Can't swim/ Teach em. Teach every kid and adult of all ages in the hood how to swim. We'll help you get over that anxiety!
I wouldn't pad their pockets! They should suffer financially!
I guess the family's kid should have NOT of posted the party to his 19,000 followers on social media, when the contract they signed, clearly states, not to advertise the party on any social platform. Did RM forget to tell you sheep this little, but very important fact?
@@mattthacker9120 what kid wouldnât? Thatâs what kids do! Fool!
@@whattheysayaboutme425 By doing so, he broke the contract.....Fool!
So you'd make them richer off your unwanted black dollars? That'll show them. Why in the world do we keep doing business and giving our hard earned money to folk that flat-out tell us they don't want us around? Makes no sense to me
The miscommunication was when they booked this park who ever took the reservation didn't know they were black.
I hope you do a law suit! Nobody, nobody, deserves to be treated like this!!!
See how Becky says OH HE'S HERE FOR ME! HE HERE FO ME? The privilege of it all.
fact I caught that slick comment as well.
She sure did!
The officer should've said, No mam, I'm here to keep the peace for all, in hopes to come to a mutual understanding..
There wasn't a crime committed, so for her to say, he's here for me, after hearing the BLK female parent said that's why he's here because we called, is the reason she had to make it clear! NO, he's here for me, and to keep me safe because I'm white, and your not...
You mean The Caucacity Of It All!!
This is heartbreaking and I truly can't understand why are these places turning away people of colors for no reason whatsoever, this is the 2022 and it's coming like they are going back in time where every businesses have there signs up saying NO COLORS, WHITE'S ONLY! This is outrageous that hate is leading the front and love and peace don't mean much at all, I know that racism is out there still but it wasn't that openly, people would wait until you're not around to hear them talk, but this all came out since Donald trump's came into office and all these racist people coming out and think it's okay to express there racist ways without thinking about the out come, and it's sad that the innocent one's are the children facing it. It's so sad that children can't enjoy themselves just like other children do, and the sad reason is it's because of there skin color.
For no reason? So you think all those years of slavery and Deep rooted hate and the segregation that seperate in the early 1900s to 1980s
This behavior isn't for no reason....it's just been hidden until the black race splits up more. That's why black people are dating other races more and more...to escape the harsh reality that clear people and other race in this world NEED to eliminate blackness in all form.
I'm 50 years old... It's ALWAYS been this way.... NOTHING HAS CHANGED
I'm Almost 70; Racism, Bigotry, WS, Race Soldiers=KKKops, and the Just-Us System is Alive and Well. It's working just as it's Designed to do!
Please! It started ramping up during Obama tenure. He made his whole presidency about race. The left has zero moral ground to stand on.
Sue them asap bull crapđ€ŹđĄ all of it
May the good Lord đ help guide you to do the right thing! I'm very ashamed in 2022 that there would still be haters like the staff at the establishment. EVERY PERSON IN THIS WORLD SHOULD KNOW What's GOING ON AT THAT PARTY. SHAME ON THESE STAFF MEMBERS.
This makes me so mad. Iâm from Kansas City, MO and my family and I recently moved from KC to Atlanta, GA and this is one of the MAIN REASONS. I wouldâve had to move to a place like Leeâs Summit, or another suburb of KC where they treat black people like this for my girls to be in a safe neighborhood and go to good public schools. We lived in Raymore, MO before we left and had to deal with funny acting white people in that area.
Although I canât fully protect my young daughters from dealing with racism I knew I could minimize the hate theyâd receive for the color of their skin by leaving KC.
I managed a T-Mobile store in Leeâs Summit, MO on Chipman rd, right down the street from that park for 3 years. I dealt with racism in some form pretty often. When they asked âwhereâs your manager?â while they looked towards one of my white associates and I replied âI am the managerâ those white folk mouths dropped. Iâm an unapologetic black man, with spiked culturally styled hair, and not nearly a crossover type of brother so they were shocked. I was very professional and treated every customer as an equal, I didnât code switch no matter the race of the customer.
I hope this family sues the City of Leeâs Summit for so much money and wins. Therefore, we can see true change in the culture of KC this type of stuff has to stop I spent 36 years of my life in KC and Iâm sick and tired of seeing and hearing about situations like this.
