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

I do believe in Karma. These awful people are coming back as garden snails in their next life.
