Post by: CHIZZY on July 05, 2005, 03:09:09 AM: None of the black folks I know know how to swim...

And all the city pools (read: urine pools) are filled with black kids, but I\'ve never seen one in the deep end. Nor have I seen a black kid use the diving board.

Post by: videoholic on July 05, 2005, 03:35:33 AM: Don\'t you guys realize that the floating rope that seperates the deep end from the shallow end has nothing to do with safety?

The blacks don\'t know how to swim under it so it gives the whiteys half the pool.

Post by: dawid22 on July 05, 2005, 10:19:14 AM: Here is South Africa I\'d say that at least 70% of the black population can\'t swim either...

Post by: Lord Nicon on July 05, 2005, 02:42:32 PM: Yeah, SOUTH AFRICA.

Apartheid didnt allow the black people to go into high water concentrated areas. :rolleyes:

Post by: Evi on July 06, 2005, 02:40:33 PM: I taught myself how to swim in about 15-20 minutes in the shallow end when I was about 6. It really isn\'t that hard. If you can\'t figure it out when you\'re an adult, then you\'re just retarded. Everyone should learn how to swim. Once you learn how to stay afloat, the rest is cakewalk.

Post by: Unicron! on July 06, 2005, 03:07:35 PM: I ve heard years ago that for some reason blacks are finding it harder to keep afloat on the water surface than white men.With other words they sink faster and more.

That would be a BS stereotype. Black men are only a half inch larger on average, but because of this, black women are also a little larger in the poon to compensate.

I think you\'re talking about Italians, and it\'s from all the gold chains.

Since I\'m studying for my PhD in Human Nutrition/Anatomy/Physiology, some things are learned along the way.
