How could you resist posting "swimmigrants" I know I couldn't have.
"there is nothing misogynistic about anything, stop trippin.
i type this way because im black and from nyc chill son "
has anyone got any science about black swimmers. i find it hard to believe in this day and age that it's descrimination
According to the Centers for Disease Control, in 2000, black people drowned 1.4 times as much as white people. That rate, however, increases for black children ages 5 to 19; they drown 2.4 times as much. Black adolescent males are 12 to 15 times more likely to drown than white adolescent males.
Now there are gripping historical and cultural reasons behind why black people wind up being non-swimmers. The indifference toward swimming, some say, originates from the days of segregation, when black people were banned from public swimming pools, and most were too poor to afford private pools.
Today, black people often cannot afford to pay for swimming lessons, and although free and reduced price lessons are available in many places, many black people still don’t view swimming as a priority.
Swimming is, by and large, still viewed by many black people as a sport rather than a skill — and a sport that they aren’t very good at.
That means that until a Tiger Woods emerges from the competitive swimming world, many black parents won’t be clamoring to demand lessons for their children.
Then there’s our obsession with protecting our hairstyles rather than learning how to protect ourselves from drowning.
It’s time we got over that.
