The North Carolina business has received an outpouring of criticism.
. Last week, John and Teresa Freeman found themselves on the defensive after a photo of their list of rules, which had been posted on the property for years, were shared on the Outdoor Recreation Center of Wendell Facebook page, sparking outrage over one rule in particular.
The Freemans have since told WTVD that Teresa, who John says wrote and posted the rules, is not racist and simply misunderstood what locs are. However,that, in a more recent Facebook post apologizing for the way the rule was phrased, it should have stated only "NO artificial hair." In another post by the owners, they cite a Certified Pool Owners class that they say told them not to allow any hair extensions because it could get through the pool's the strainers and into the pump.
The explanation has not stopped people from continuing to leave condemnatory comments on the center's Facebook page. In response, WTVD says the Freemans are planning to speak to an attorney about taking action against those who have publicly called them racist.
