[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a person of color. Swimming just isn’t a black peoples sport. Go into the “hood” and you will see black people playing football and basketball. Turn on their tv and they are watching football and basketball. What are they wearing? Football and basketball jerseys. It’s just not a black peoples sport by interest. Call me ignorant all you want but we spend a lot of money doing braids and our hair. We aren’t getting it wet! Combine that with our kids coming out the pool looking ashy. [/quote] The NVSL record breaker this summer in the 13-14 year old girls backstroke is black. She also ranked first in free and fly. She’s an amazing swimmer. While I agree I don’t see many African Americans swimming, I don’t like hearing it’s not a black peoples sport. [b]This girl is black and it IS her sport[/b][b]. [/quote] I HEART this.[/quote]
