They should’ve jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge. Would’ve guaranteed a direct hit.

A majority of black folks can’t swim.

Only due to fear. They CAN swim. The problem (with all non-swimmers) is that they try to keep the upper half of their body out of the water. This is impossible. This is why they drown.

You do realize that these statues are in predominately liberal areas and you will be arrest you for ‘brandishing” a firearm or any other bogus charge if a group of men gather to defend these statues? Most of us have jobs and property these governments and their lawyers will seize as payment for fines. That said, the closes statue near me got spray painted but no mobs can gather to ‘peaceful’ tear it down.

Us rednecks may be dumb but we’re not stupid.

These areas will burn as they sit by and left the hooligans run rampart.

True that.

If the water is relatively calm I can lend back and let my knees drop and float for hours. If the water has "whitecaps' I can 'doggie paddle' for an hour or so.

Each example give the water is warm, of course. Hypothermia gives no man any quarter.

Someone should’ve chummed the water beforehand.

[Let’s go out and show our support for Black Lives Matter by doing something that hardly any black people do.

I wonder if they’re going to hold an alpine skiing event somewhere next week to show their support for BLM. :-P ]


I’m thinking of showing my support by picking up a bucket of fried chicken at the local Popeye’s.

I don't believe the photos. (Not that I want to see the real ones).

You can't have an outdoor event in San Francisco without having naked people in the mix. (and never good looking naked people)

Go to the Caribbean. You see blacks swimming there with no issues.

Precisely. I have taught both white and blacks who SWORE they could not swim, how to swim. The reason many ‘blacks’ don’t know how to swim is lack of experience.

If you’ve never driven a car, it is likely that trying to tool down the road in a Ferrari won’t have a good ending.

Had a friend who “couldn’t” swim. Said he always sank to the bottom.

I told him that was almost impossible as long as he had any air in his lungs.

I used to replace lights in pools and had to wear weights just to keep me under water.

I told him to sink to the bottom and stay there a while. He couldn’t.

He said his bone density was high and that caused him to sink. I took a #5 coffee can full of cement and jumped into the water. I swam around with it and that ended that train of thought.

Eventually I told him that his problem was trying to keep water from getting up to his mouth. That normal bouyancy would result in the water just being at the bottom of his lower lip and not to worry about. That if water rose over his lip, just to shut his mouth. Once he got over that fear and relaxed, he learned he COULD SWIM.

Yes, it is all experience.

If you told a person from the Caribbean that blacks can't swim, they would give you a strange look.

Add to that, they swim in the sea, not usually in swimming pools -- it would make it even more strange for them to be told that.
