In other news, 60% of black kids in the U.S. can't swim and they suffer a much higher rate of drowning than white kids.
Uh, if anyone knows someone with black kids who don't know how to swim I'd be happy to give free lessons. I nearly drowned when I was a kid, but I have always loved swimming. I believe it would be best if every child were taught how to swim. I wonder how many public swimming pools there are in Detroit, compared to other cities, all of a sudden...
