Trump won, guys. You don't have to do this anymore.
How is this not satire??
There's literally nothing that keeps black people from going to a pool or lake and swimming. There's no law that bars them from swim classes. White people aren't conspiring to keep them from enjoying the water!
And yet:
No one in America should have any barrier connecting to water.
Let's take a look at the story and then I'll explain how it's Marxist brain rot:
'There is a stigma Black people can't swim,' said Bostick.
Paulana Lamonier, the founder of Black People Will Swim, started the organization in 2020 to help students like Bostick. She said she didn't see enough Black and Brown swimmers, which meant teaching more Black people to swim in an effort to create a ripple effect of more Black swim instructors and lifeguards, she said.
What does "enough Black and Brown swimmers" mean?
When do you have "enough"?
It means, "I noticed a disparity in black swimmers compared to the demographic makeup of the United States; therefore, I must do the work to ensure there is no inequity."
AKA:
Lamonier's goal of making swimming more accessible for Black people has been rooted in a history of segregation and lack of equity in aquatic spaces.
See? MARXISM!
CBS News then argues that the reason black people can't swim in 2025 is because a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, evil white people kept them out of public pools.
For decades, starting in the early 1900s, just as pools across the United States began to open to mixed-gender swimming, opportunities to access water started to close for Black Americans.
Having worked in the news for a number of years now, I see these kinds of stories pop up all the time.
No one asks why more white guys aren't in the NBA, but the fake news laments a perceived lack of black Americans in activities like skiing, hockey, or ... being outdoors.
It's all brain rot.
64% of black kids in America do not know how to swim. In 2024, the CDC said 38% of black adults reported not knowing how to swim.
For a Marxist, anytime there is any kind of disparity in society, oppression must be the cause. There's no other option for them. They can't look at the data and say, "[X] community doesn't value this activity, career, sport, or hobby, so there are less people involved in it." Instead, the wokies immediately search for a bad guy to blame.
[The white, straight, Christian, Republican guy is always the bad guy]
'Drowning happens to be one of the most prevalent sources of death among African American males,' said Dr. Samuel Myers, Jr. a professor and director at the Roy Wilkins Center for Human Relations and Social Justice at the University of Minnesota.
Myers, an economist, told CBS News he began to research racial disparities in swimming after attending his daughter's swim meets, where he says he was often the only Black parent. He said he asked himself, 'How is it possible that there are so few Black swimmers in this pool?'
It doesn't take a business genius to figure out that a specific demographic might have lots of supply but little demand because of the way different people groups naturally emphasize certain priorities.
But the Marxist sees natural societal differences as evil. It always looks for a boogeyman. This is why the "social justice" professor immediately implies too many white lifeguards are the problem, and tells us the solution is black lifeguards instead of qualified lifeguards. 👇
Myers said he found in his research a correlation between drowning rates and Black lifeguards, saying the 'drowning rates are lower' when there are 'more Black lifeguards.'
The most backward people are the ones who call themselves "progressives."
