Do you think a lot of black people dont swim

[goldfly]

Because they simply don’t want to

Or is it cause of decades of racism on that community when they tried to do so and has adversely affected that community still today?

I’ll hang up now and listen to your answers

[goldfly]

I guess we don’t want to discuss that past actions on a certain populace could have an affect on future generations

[sturg33]

I am busy trying to lobby congress to change the laws to allow black people to swim

[goldfly]

Hey, that’s a type of a response I would expect from you

Something that in no way is being discussed or argued to change the conversation to be nowhere near the issue at hand

[sturg33]

It's a really interesting thread and was necessary to create. I am going to do my best to tell black people that swimming is fun. Thanks for this awareness that you think black people are too stupid to jump in a pool without the help of a white man

[goldfly]

And you doubled down l, if not tripled down, on stupidity

Impressive

[sturg33]

What does goldy propose we should do to get more black people swimming?

[goldfly]

That literally isn’t what this thread is about. That would be the next step after we figure out the history and cause of why

But it’s well noted how much you’re trying to avoid the actual topic

It’s actually pretty basic questions if you’d like to engage it

[sturg33]

So you want to talk about historical barriers that no longer exist, rather than talk about what to do moving forward?

You started the dumb thread. You are the one always screaming about race. Do you have a solution here? Or do you just wish to complain and bitch about race endlessly?

Sturg33 says black people are free to swim if they want. Free to not, if they don't.

Goldy says racism keeps black people from wanting to swim. So what does goldy suggest we do.

[goldfly]

This really isn’t a difficult question to follow man

Yet, you want to make it one.

You can simply not reply instead of trying to derail the topic to something else

[sturg33]

You got mad at no replies. You bumped the thread again

You started a thread. You want to talk the past. Ok. The past is racist.

What do you want to do TODAY? Bc today is all we can control

[goldfly]

I didn’t get mad

I stated and I quote

I guess we don’t want to discuss that past actions on a certain populace could have an affect on future generations

Seems from your replies. We certainly don’t want to debate this

[sturg33]

I'm asking you, goldy, what goldy thinks we should do help black people feel more comfortable with swimming

[goldfly]

I really don’t get how you don’t understand this. I literally said that’s not the topic and I’m not moving on to another topic in this thread until the reason for the thread has been discussed (if people want to)

This isn’t hard man.

We at least do step 1 before we get to steps 2 or 3 etc

[sturg33]

You dont want to engage bc you don't want to admit that all this structural bull**** you bitch about is gone... you only want to look backwards. Thats all you want to do.

Its why we now have ivy league colleges holding 6 different segregated graduations bc they are stuck in racist thinking. You are quite useless to the cause you are supposedly trying to help, as evidenced yet again by this incredibly stupid thread

I was watching Dude Perfect recently and they had some of these little silicone gloves with webbing between the fingers. Maybe if we gave a pair to each black person, they would be encouraged to swim.

My question is how to handle the people with one black and one white parent. Should we just give them one glove?

Depends on the race of the male. Obviously

It's an obvious fact and unpleasant reality that for generations black people had no access to pools or any other decent place to swim.

And what should we do about it now

No, that’s not what I want at all

The original post is pretty clear

You are really making this difficult for no reason
