To me, one of the absolute saddest statistics is that over 70% of blacks don’t know how to swim.
In Baltimore, several times a year you hear of someone falling into the harbor and dying.
Don’t need to see the picture to know the story. Fall in, give up immediately, die.
I honestly don’t remember not being able to swim, I was taught as a toddler. But, I honestly think if I couldn’t you wouldn’t catch me anywhere near water over my head without a flotation device or life jacket. We have fishermen fall off boats in the lake in the middle of the night here, drunk, can’t swim. Best fishing at night after a rain. There again, why they didn’t have on a life jacket, that’s just crazy.
