There are African Americans who swim. You can’t say all African Americans can’t swim just because you’ve seen a few who can’t or have trouble with it. We’re all human, and just like with math, some people get it easily, some with minimal effort, some with a lot of effort, and some not at all.

Many African Americans have a lower body fat percentage, and men have a lower percentage than women. This makes it more difficult for them to float. As a result, if an untrained white and an untrained black person are dropped in the water, the untrained black person has a greater chance of drowning. I’m not sure this is the only reason, because women have a greater body-fat average than men, but nobody ever talks about the male fear of water. So I think there are other factors involved. It seems logical that swimming training and water sports in general are more accessible to historically middle-class families. Any untrained person is going to be afraid of water, no matter what their race.

Most African Americans are very capable of swimming. Some do not swim because they never learned how. Others (mostly females) do not swim because they do not want to go through the hassle of messing up their hair, which is obviously different than the hair of white people.

I guess with your mind set,it would amuse you to see over weight, over rich,white women in S.Africa being gang raped, much to their displeasure,by these Kaffirs,or the white farmers being murdered by them. You are an idiot.

I think some questions that we ask about other people that have a different skin color than ourselves and I say ONLY a different skin. are based on a limited amount of experience of that group of people.So often we do not speak from true experience or even honest research that we have conducted on our own.It is mainly based on what the media/books written by and spoken by those that would have you to believe or think just as they want you to think.
