Of course, in this day and age of shrill hyperbole, it is impossible to have a reasoned discussion on these issues without SJWs going ballistic and screaming "racism" at the drop of a hat, which sets back any kind of freaking progress by years.

That is impressive that you are able to make such broad generalizations based on skin color. Is the love for racing bikes and flaunting wealth a genetic disposition of blacks? Does it vary within the population? For instance are Caribbean blacks are more or less likely than American born blacks to love racing bikes and flaunting wealth? Do tell......


I'm sorry you're bothered by the notion that race and cultural upbringing is a critical factor in individual development, but it is. African Americans are decidedly different culturally to native Africans or those from the Caribbean. Just ask an African immigrant, you'll learn a lot. You can educate yourself on all sorts of issues through unbiased observation and data collection in order analyze/draw conclusions to test a hypothesis. I challenge you to investigate these issues for yourself and draw your own conclusions about culture. But, trying to provoke me by denying conclusions derived from clear evidence based on experience just makes you a pissed off SJW. See, the comment below.

And swim participation is even worse in black communities. Our local Y has been trying for years to get more black kids into swim lessons. A few years back a few black teenagers drowned in relatively swallow water. They were screaming for help, but no one in their large group on-shore knew how to swim either, a terrible tragedy.



Sounds racist right? American blacks can't swim...Well, it's a fact that black children are at higher risk of drowning because a higher percentage do not know how to swim. Also, there are less black navy seals. Must be a racist organization right? No. More African Americans joining the navy need remedial swim training than any other ethnic group, and being a strong swimmer is a pre-req. It must be exhausting injecting that victim mentality into everything you observe.


You are abscribing characteristics of race to things that are not. And yet you do not seem to know the difference. There are a lot of variables that determine whether someone is interested in bikes or not. Race is so insignificant as to be an error term. But if you have data on this I would love to see it.

Do yourself a favor and do not condescend on things that you *think* that you are well informed of but are actually quite ignorant.

PS it is laughable that you think I am an SJW.
