"Swimming pool Karen" confronts Black, gay woman for talking to her son

[Behind the Aegis]

A Black gay professor said that she was yelled by a white woman for talking “over [her] lane” at a swimming pool. Pool staff called the police, who kicked her out for what she called “swimming while Black.”

Ghenete Wright Muir is a law professor at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and she’s also the founder of the LGBTQ arts organization Thou Art Woman and is a member of the Gay & Lesbian Lawyer Network in Broward County.

Wright Muir said that she and her son Masai were swimming at a public pool this past Sunday.

“I said something to my son and the lady in the lane between us said, ‘You can’t talk over my lane,’” Wright Muir told 6 South Florida News. “I immediately asked the lifeguard if that was a rule, and she said there’s no such rule.”

She offered to switch lanes with the white woman – who was identified by Caribbean National Weekly as Lani Kempner – but that didn’t work.

11. The way the title read, I thought that the professor was talking to the idiot woman's

son. That the professor was talking to her on son makes this even more bizarre.

Lawsuits, I foresee lawsuits.

That woman's hissy fit was on an intellectual and behavioral level with "I'm not touching you."
