It is possible that none of the youths knew how to swim and that trying to rescue him would just have gotten some of them unnecessarily killed. But the fact is that a large proportion of black youth never learn to swim.

Watch the video. They all had cell phones and could have called 911. They sat there, laughed and filmed it. They let him die instead of calling for help.

My old next-door neighbor and childhood peer taught her child to swim when she was only a few months old. Sink or swim.

It’s very likely none of them knew how to swim. Most races you can just toss a kid in and they’ll naturally start dog paddling. Black kids just sink due to buoyancy being different. Because of this very few black kids ever learn how to swim baring extensive lessons. Swimming is also a much more terrifying experience for black kids making them less likely to get lessons even if they’re free or low cost.

Yeah, that’s the ticket. It’s possible that they were all quadriplegics. Or maybe they were all just disinterested in the fate of a drowning man. Or just mildly amused. I refuse to make excuses for them, let them make their own up.
