Of course people of all backgrounds sadly drown. But it seems there are an inordinate amount of black kids who can't swim who drown. I don't understand why more isn't done about that? I'd rather some hear or read about black kids learning how to swim more than why aren't there more black golfers?


My wife is from bumfrick Alaska. Grew up in literal off the road villages 30+ miles from the nearest road system. Like 90% of Alaska natives off the road system and their literal livelihoods are based around a large river....dont know how to swim...but you know what they do know how to do? Float, not panic, and 60+% of the time they have a pfd

Didn't read all 5 pages, but are they really more offended by an accidental death of a black kid over actual black on black deaths? It really doesn't get more racist than that.

A falling tide can have some strong current in the afternoons. Not sure of what the tide times and range where at that time but it’s usually strong at the beginning of the month

Could it be paranoid projection? The need to believe Whites are out to get them to justify their hostility and aggression towards Whites?


Otherwise their entire world view crashes

Haven't been able to figure out besides it literally takes a village to raise a child in that environment

They also fish out of a boat like 70% of their lives

Just as poor as these folks down here though

It already exists. It's called scouting.

Eta: I'm helping teach swimming and lifesaving Merit Badges tonight.

Eta2: The two most useful strokes anyone can learn are the sidestroke and the elementary backstroke. Both keep (mostly) one's head out of the water and require minimal exertion.

I dont understand why the boat he rode there on left without him aboard? Not sure why that part hasnt been cleared up



From what I can gather by bits and pieces that I’ve read it seems like he met a girl and wandered off with her. His friends assumed he was going with her. He then left her group and she assumed he was going back to his friends. Everything got crossed up and both groups left assuming he was safely with the other.

So its kind of dumb to go straight to "he was killed by the white people that appears to be his friends".


To be fair- your post kind of says his friends are statistically reasonable to look at regardless of race…. Simply that he’s less likely to be deeply embedded in a white community than a black one


The larping comments about how the guys in the photo were actively documenting their kill and the hand on the leg is about to flip him into the water…. Crazy town

Man.. twitter is just lit up right now over this

They make it seem like this is was a grand conspiracy of a bunch of white kids to lure one black kid 45 minutes out into the gulf, kill him, and leave his body

Some absolutely disgusting wishcasting and theorizing by people who don’t know anything

They so badly want this to be white people and their violence and hatred toward the black kid

Exactly. Their thought process,” we can be victims with this one”.

Some really need this drowning to be a crime so that it feeds the hate they have in their hearts.
4,000 drowning deaths per year in America. That’s where you start looking first.
