Da winnah ! ... for today at least ...
Obviously Archimedes was a racist.
Now we know why she married Uncle Lurch.
not the first time i’ve heard this. Black-ish did a segment on racists and swimming pools.
Joe Frazier would agree!
“Do you have to be stupid to become a Democrat?”
No. You just have to hate America so much it hurts. You also have to be ignorant of history. Virtually all the racism in America (slavery, segregation, the KKK, etc) were originated, supported, and maintained by the DEMOCRATIC PARTY. The Democrat party fought a CIVIL WAR to defend slavery. Why the Republican party hasn’t beaten the Democrat party over the head with this irrefutable fact since the Civil Rights Era is a mystery. It would have destroyed Democrat support among blacks and changed the entire political landscape.
How about basketball? The NBA is predominately black when blacks make up 12% of the population. Stop this bullshit! You are a Marxist. You look for differences and profess it as racism.
The story is BS. How do you verify this mess? You can’t. If anything, it shows how out of touch with Pennsylvanians they are.
She’s a bigger fabulist than Biden!
“We wanted a pool and had to buy a MANSION that we didn’t want to get the pool. And we were going to turn it into a community pool because swimming is racist.”
That’s the biggest whopper I have ever heard.
In some communities, swimming pools were historically tied to private clubs, whether country clubs or swim clubs. Many kept out 'riff-raff' by working through a system of member referrals. My own family was too recently arrived in America to pass muster at our local country club, so dad took us to local lakes and ponds after he got off work. Mom taught us basic swimming and then we honed our skills at the Y or Scout camp. Private clubs are still a factor in many places. There are certainly children who have limited access to pools in the summer if their community lacks public pools or a lake.
Increasing children's access to pools for swimming lessons is a worthwhile charitable goal. On this I support Mrs. Fetterman in principle. I take it as a sign of woke times that she finds it necessary to call out swimming as racist. It would suffice to offer access to swimming for children who otherwise don't have the opportunity without all the virtue signaling and race baiting language. A private donation to the local Y or scout camp would support swimming access and lessons but that assumes her true goal is charity rather than political posturing.
“ Historically, swimming in America is very racist…”
And yet blacks in the former slave colonies in the Caribbean can swim. Must be something in the water here.
Malaysians don’t swim either. It is very strange that a village full of people who live next to some of the most beautiful beaches in SE Asia have never gone swimming or even played in the water.
Well, I agree with long time LA Dodger General Manager Al Campanis who said it was “because they lack the bouncy”. Hell, it was obvious 10 years earlier when Smokin’ Joe Frazier participated in the swimming event in TV’s Superstars show.
I get it. A white person who likes to swim believes they are of a superior race.
