Swimming was invented by the black Egyptians, but then it was stolen from them by the Greeks and the Romans.
I learned in the shower how to to swim upstream against a strong current.
I don’t know about swimming, but when I played high school baseball, the teams from the inner-city schools didn’t wear baseball caps, they wore shower caps - to protect their hairdos and Jerry-curls.
In the Navy, we had to pass swim quals, I was a pretty good swimmer and tried to teach some black friends. They sank like rocks. They could never do a simple back float and when they did learn to swim,they had to work twice as hard just to keep on top of the water.
I can hear it now... Water is racist!

The water molecule is obviously racist.
The same reason they dont ski,ice skate(there are a few).
Not many in baseball anymore.
Is it true that they have slightly higher bone/muscle density making them float less well and ruining the whole experience?
This meme comes up every few years in the MSM.
The agenda is for taxpayers to provide more swimming pools in black neighborhoods.
No pools by basketball courts?
Now, I wouldn't want to leap to conclusions, but it's hard not to draw some inferences about the parental support available to DeKendrix, JaTavious, Takeitha, JaMarcus, Litrelle, Latevin, and LaDarius.
I learned to swim in school.
Fear of shrinkage?
Hard to believe, considering where it is, but there it is.
With muscular black individuals, there is the added complication of body mass and distribution not being consistent with flotation possibilities.
Why all that is, I do not know, but it is what it is.
I’ll never forget the article that was in a local street paper
about a “white” do gooder who took black children under her wing and was teaching them to swim.
About a week later there was a letter to the editor about the article and it went like this:”You keep your white hands off of our black kids.We don’t need you teaching our kids how to swim or anything else”.I’m being kind in to how it was worded.
Now we can’t even drown in peace. What’s next?
I know the reason after spending my time teaching black youth at school and asking them this very question.
1. Public pools and their programs are nearly unattended by most black families. This was not so in the 80’s, but lately many black families have shunned the community pool.
2. Many blacks perpetuate the myth that they cannot swim.
3. Remember the Olympics that our beloved media mocked that one African participant in the Olympics? Yeah, that too.
Is this racist? No. I asked my students, and the mentioned each of these answers to me as reasons. One of my kids said “Black folks aren’t made to swim like white folks aren’t made to jump.” I laughed.
Not saying a word. Not a word.
