Black people cant swim.

Most inner city public schools don't have a swim team or a swimming program. I certainly don't know why - they just don't. I attended a private elementary, junior, and senior high school - and therefore had access to proper swimming facilities. I swim like a fish and enjoy diving. I'm also a United States Navy Reservist.

 

It's also a stereotype that everyone from Florida has a boating license. If someone is from Florida and they do not know how to swim then something is wrong with them *Laughs*.

 

I can swim. Floating is moderately okay, but nevertheless I can swim quite well, even in deep waters.

It's just that there's lack of access of swimming pools in majority black areas.

 

Im just posting something in here so they stupid other thread dont show up anymore. I dont know why after more than 24hrs some dude felt the need to post again???

Anyway....if u live close to an ocean u should learn how to swim.

Dont pay me no mind, just posting bs, to revive this thread instead of the other one

 

Well its not really a stereotype. The vast majority of African-Americans

1. Live in urban areas
2. Live in the south

...and most places in the souther and in urban areas simply do not afford the opportunity to SWIM.

 

funny thing is i believe i can swim decently. (actually i do)
then i was in the ocean like a few miles out from the beach in the caribbean and mentals went crazy. like, "oh shit, i'm bout to drown!" lol but it's like anything else, if you calm yourself, you can do almost anything in the world.

black people can't swim = false

 

I enjoy swimming.

 

I can't swim in an ocean but I can swim in some

 

swimming 3 times for week and pretty well

 

Oh nice our new friend "Barbie Lover" felt the need to revive one of those troll threads from JULy with the same topic as the other one who I want to die.

Ok, time to talk more about swimming.......LOL

I learned how to swim on Barbados (lucky me).
Where did u learn how to swim? Lake,pool, ocean????

 

lets not turn this into some hardcore debate about racial prejudice and malacious misconceptions fueled by hecklers and bigots..

i did not grow up hearing this myth but as i got older i heard it talked about by all colors of comedians. I lived near a Black community, we had out own pool, if they didn't go to it they would and came to exclusively gfo to the white pool. I dont know how you can say Blacks in the south lack the chance like Blacks in some concrete jungle when every fucking country song references a damn swimming hole in the backwoods..

I did start to believe it after awhile though. I seen Blacks swimming my whole life but nationally I dont see them really at the olympics or the sporting events swimming and i know people in urban places dont have pools at home or at school usually.

I know that I am Black, I can NOT swim, I can NOT float, and I nearly drown in the bath tub. I doubt the latter experience is anyone's case n point however..

 

I just came in to giggle at "Oh that's not me...cuz I can swim"

 

Clearly I can swim cause I'm white right?


lol

 

and also you are in the Caribbean. We have strict swim or die policy. It would seem that you are alive so you obviously swam.

I swear people have literally pushed people(they had never learned how to swim) into deep ends of the pool to either swim or die. no joke!

 

I was thinking the same thing. I've been swimming my whole life but I guess its because its part of caribbean culture.

 

i don't know anyone over here who don't know how to swim either

 

What the fuck are giggling at bruh? It's one thing if people don't have access to an area where they can swim, so they never learn. It's another thing when ignorant bigots claim that black people are genetically predisposed to not being able to move in water like human beings of any other race. You really get a chuckle from black people who take issue with that kind of BS because we know first hand that it ain't true? If so, fuck you.

Man, I can't stand condescending fucking coons like you. Always trying to put down other black people who don't accept the "truth" about our race and all of our supposed deficiencies.

 

i mean i think races are adapted to their territories of origins. if we entertained this swimming myth or whatever its not opening a pandora's box that eill lead us to some eugenitcs or racial inferiority debate. No one has even touched on mental capacity or any other sore topics.. Okay Frederick (Douglass?)


As far as carribeans are concerned, u live on a damn island, global warming is raising sea levels, the atlantic has a lot of hurricanes, you better know how to swim and the hecklers better believe it..

When people say "Black" I think they mean Afro-American/African American.. This is more or less a U.S. board..

 

hahaha!! gold!!

 

The reasons..
