Many black males lack enough body fat to float. This is genetic.

But many black kids never learn to swim because of the lack of inner city pools where they can learn to swim.

I watched a TV program showing “mansions” built by African rulers and despots. Almost all of them had pools ... but they all were no deeper than waist high water.

Weird!

While I was watching the Olympics today on YouTube [I don’t have a TV]... I watched a “Duel in the Pool” pitting Michael Phelps against Shaquille O’Neil. Shaq was humorously disparaging Phelps wins so they fought it out in the pool.

Of course, Phelps won big time ... but the Shaq could swim... but he’s so big!

I did not say all black men, but many do. It has to do with body fat making it easier to float.

I actually was not trying to make a point as much assuring a humorous show with you. 8o)
