I was being facetious.


It's not that, definitively, black people can't swim.

There is nothing that prevents them from learning to swim. They are physically capable of it.

It's just that, by and large, culturally they don't.

You can't judge a cultural trend by the tiny minority that buck it.

If you would see the dinky boats they take into open water this wouldn't surprise you. Some don't even have motors. Just homemade sails.

It's a good thing they don't live on top of a cliff, falling into water has a higher survivability rate.

I read page one, and came to page 7 hoping that there were 6 more pages of arguing over whether a single American high school graduate could take over all of Africa in a year.

I'm disappointed.

This is such a widespread thing that Your local YMCA takes contributions and teaches "urban" kids to swim for free each Summer. Maybe we could send the YMCA to Africa .

Seems the Nile Perch population would be doing better with all that food in the water.

Funny enough crawfish have been introduced in South Africa and have become an invasive species. They're multiplying like mad.
