A lot of powerfully built white guys do too.
I can sit at the bottom of the pool and wave to you with lungs full of air.
Be careful that the government’s racism doesn’t lead us into bigotry -
I’m sure there are plenty of Black guys who can swim just fine.
Maybe the “Black seals” are in the NFL? Because frankly - most Seals I met - were NFL/Div I college calibre athletes (including mental toughness) - if they were one step quicker in the 40. Maybe the Black seals are just too fleet of foot? Maybe they are all playing sports in college?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Maybe the “Black Seals” are in prison or on the streets on their way to prison. Maybe the “Black Seals” are felons who have served their time. I’d say that given the percentages of black men with crime issues that this greatly reduces the pool of available applicants.
Then let’s look at the academic achievement of black men. How many black men have SAT scores equal to white men being accepted to schools like Duke U.? Hm? Maybe a thousand in the entire nation? Of all the black men in this nation ( who do not have crime issues) how many can score high enough on the military entrance exam and intelligence exams to qualify to be a SEAL?
“Maybe they are all playing sports in college?”
Maybe. But why is your feel good explanation not racist, and saying black guys can’t swim “bigoted”? You seem to be taking a stance similar to the approach liberals have, which is: If I don’t agree with it, and race is involved, you are the racist, not me.
By saying black men are faster, how is that any different than observing black men don’t swim well. Not all black men are fast, not all black men sink in water. But, generalizations come about for a reason. They are generally true.
A guy in our division tried to be a seal. He was rejected. He’s a white guy, really smart, and in great shape. I always thought, if they didn’t take him, darn, the requirements ARE tough.
Here’s another “maybe”. Maybe a lot of black kids don’t study because they don’t want to get beat up for “acting white”. So maybe their academics aren’t up to snuff? The academic requirements for a college athlete are not as demanding as that for entering the Navy Seals. And maybe that shortfall is where the generalization about black people’s intelligence gets it’s start.
Having known a few, and having watched numerous programs involving BUD/s training, I can say that all SEAL-candidates are super-fit, but few are 'freakish' in height or weight categories. So I would argue that most would not be Div I/NFL. These guys would be Div II football, no problem. Given the above average intellect required I'd say Ivy League footballers would be a more apt description. But even that misses the point.
These guys can swim or run all day long... until they break down. That requires the kind of mental toughness required of a tri-athlete.
This too is part of their insidious plan. Institutionalized reverse racism and the destruction of the inner city family is a self fullfilling prophecy which generates racism from whence it had previously been stamped out. Just one more reason to hate statists not individuals of any race!
