Nothing like a sweeping racial generalisation.

Keep up the good work

I don't care if you are Mike Tyson or Kimbo Slice, when you say "I do" to an African American woman you're giving away your freedom. They are an entirely different species of wife and mother

WTF

"Americanized"?

"Uppity"???

I'm not having your unvarnished and juvenile racial provocation.

Anyone who doesn't recognise the obnoxious significance of those words, please Google them.

And in joining in your nasty little excursion at the end of this thread, Alexa, who has been bemoaning the casual belittling of Americans on this board, appears happy to apply different standards to some of her own compatriots.

Stop it now, you two, please. You know exactly what you're doing.

I think a lot of white kids in the USA can't swim either...weird how you you jump to this conclusion.

Maybe he jumped to it from reading the results from this peer-review double-blind scientific study that was recently published

Black folks in the US don't swim is because of White sharks.

Where does it say that this is due to a physiological or genetic reason?

You guys have it all wrong.

According to New Scientist, if you put washing up liquid in water it breaks down the surface tension and pond skaters will sink. I believe that the same is true when you mix water and coco butter. The combination makes it near impossible to float.
