CAMEROONPRIDE: I'm guilty...I don't know how to swim

shame on you

i can swim but usually under water and i cant float

onila: shame on you

i can swim but usually under water and i cant float

Ah aha

A real shame

LMFAO!!!!!

Serious....I do not know why black people cant swim to save their lives. Swimming is so easy that I learned on my own!

Lmao

Lol.
Just learnt how to swim but even at that I am still aquaphobic .

KidStranglehold: LMFAO!!!!!

thats because you are black while we are African. Mos Africans are naturally scared of the water.

Aren't MOST Africans 'black'?

Or are you linking black with BA only?

by black i mean like of mixed descent. im not using it as skin colour here.

AAs = black. to me, since they refer to themselves as such.

You should have just said Black American/African American to make it less confusioning. Lol...

yes i spose.

the party never start, thats why.

Hilarious as the pik is,
Its still Nonsense

In my case i am Self taught
and swim like a fish!

Side stroke, back stroke, float, deep dive, whatever...

The problem is though, that most black women who are
Not natural (fake hair and make up) or who are trying to look
Cute infront of the guys, wont get in the pool. Likewise some of the guys are afriad of looking like suckers lol. So egos also play a role.

How are we afraid the waters when we bath on river banks and fish oceans with out life guard. If we dont jump in waters its then that we know hippo croc python or water borne disease are waiting, not because we tropical people dont do what even the elephant do which is water pool to cool themselves. Somehow those white with a modern facility will say no we are those tradition swimmer even though black construct the first pool with filter system. Really in the north pole? Great its a constant freeze and you to dip as a sport? Am I going to trip myself on a laugh here.

You don't get 144 foot ships into ocean by being water afraid. First whites tell us anything and what do we do we run with it like baton. Next they might say africans afraid of heights only because when don't play tight rope across skyscraper even though we construct first skyscraper. Future they might say we are afraid of the fire because we dont walk it!

which is why I highlighted the difference between Africans and black-americans with regards to the water.

again its wrong to generalize based on this race, because many African Tribes, who live near the rivers, such as the Ijaw, etc., are excellent swimmers.

^ true

Girls with fake hair don't want to get in the water.
Guys are going to stay where the girls are.

That's all!

I think it's the other way round. You get those in weaves who don't mind getting their weaves wet whilst the au naturels want to stay well away to avoid shrinkage and frizz?

you think so?
the only african countries (imo) that have similar accents to the caribbean are Liberia and Sierra Leone only because some of our people settled there (freetown and monrovia).

Liberians more so tho. and they kind of sound like Bajans to me
