Can black people swim?
Last weekend at a high school reunion, we all went to the beach in Coburg. We were about 1/3 white, 1/3 chinese and 1/3 black. In total there were roughly 50 of us. When we got to the water, not a single black person would get in. We were there all day, and during that whole time, I never saw a single one of them get wet. When we were all horsing around throwing each other in the water, they all left, and one black girl almost had a fit when my friend pretended like he would throw her in. I didn't want to ask them why because they take it the wrong way.

I asked my uncle Stan and he said they are missing a bone in their ankle that helps with swimming.

Jamaica is an Island. Africa is a continent surrounded by water.. I've always wondered why my black buds dislike the water. Hell they don't even like going on boats as I have tried to get them out on mine with no luck hahah

Funny topic

Put a big ole bucket of KFC in the middle of the water, and they will swim......no doubt about it.

It's just simple physics.

Black people typically have denser bones and more muscle mass so it's harder for them to float.

Also that comment about the KFC.. that's wrong man..
