Re: Black American's don't swim?
I would imagine this is a simple reflection of poverty demographics in the united states, because if nothing else swimming pools, the time to do it and swimming lessons are all luxury items. maybe also its a 'case of out of site out of mind' if you and your mother dont swim are you really going to think "I gotta teach my kid to swim" ?

I wouldn't have joined the middle east forum if I had known that there would be American sympathisers around. Did no one tell you that they are infidels, no matter whether they are black or white they are all going to hell. Good riddance if you ask me I never did like Bob Hope.

Re: Black American's don't swim?
Although MissAnneThrope grossly oversimplified and skimped over the genetics issue by using lots of vague academic jargon to scare off her opponents as a good liberal would do, the reason why black Americans don't swim have nothing to do with genetics but with socio-ecnomic and education reasons.
Blacks in American are disproportionally poorer and are also more likely to be poorly educated. The article provided by Meow mentioned that six black children drowned because they jumped into the water to save their friend. Sadly this type of situation has happened before and it's almost always black children / young adults. Perhaps whites who are more likely to be better educated due to socio-economic factors, wouldn't jump after a drowning friend en-masse like lemmings but instead run for an adult, call for help, etc. The panicked group mentality among these unfortunate kids is reflective of a lack of education, leadership and capabilities that is a result of their relatively deprived backgrounds.
