Woman Mis-Interprets Internet Meme as Racist

A New Braunfels woman is outraged over what she considers a racist attempt to intimidate her grandchildren from using her subdivision's swimming pool.

Mary Alice Altorfer is hosting a visit from her two grandchildren, whose father is African American. The children swam at the River Tree subdivision pool every day for about a week before someone posted a flier on the pool gate bearing a picture of a black man with a large afro haircut, his arms folded across his chest and the words "POOL'S CLOSED" superimposed.

@ActaNonVerba71 takes a whole five seconds to google pool's closed. it was a habbo raid because moderators of Habbo appeared to be racist so 4chan users dressed as a successful black man in a afro and blocked off popular areas of the game (most popularly a pool area) saying "Pool's Closed due to AIDs"
