This is total nonsense. I'm from an island surrounded by water and spent a lot of time in that water. I would lay on my back and just float c

BS likely because many African Americans have no experience swimming

That’s kind of ridiculous. I think mainly the reason is because Black people don’t get exposed to water early on because swimming pools and things like that are predominantly in upper class houses which historically Black people have been kept out of. I feel it’s the same reason why you don’t see black equestrian, riders or black figure skaters necessarily. And before the William sisters, you rarely saw Black people in Tennis. Those are all associated with uppercrust white people.

Complete nonsense. Anyone that goes in the water regularly from a young age learns to swim. Simple. It’s about practice.

Well, if Hegseth, and Trump endorsed this explanation, will it mean another option to deny Black people from qualifying, training, for Elite Special Forces?

Most of the people I saw that could not swim were weightlifters. Not just that they couldn’t relax they fought the waters the way they lift weights. We not so muscular had buoyancy. It was a lot of fun gliding down to the bottom and say stand up 😆it was only 5ft of water. It’s not that they couldn’t swim their skill set is different. 😆pumping water didn’t work. 😆😆.

I’m black, I can float. I can swim, Floating can be taught. My Black brothers and sisters learn to swim get in the water and don’t be a casualty.

[Debunking the Myth]: The belief that "heavy bones" prevent Black individuals from floating is a myth. While some studies suggest slightly higher bone density in Black populations, it is not a limiting factor for buoyancy. Scientific Evidence: A 2025 study found that higher bone mineral density showed no correlation with reduced floating competence. Key Factors for Floating: A person's ability to float depends on their overall density (fat, muscle, and, crucially, air in the lungs) rather than their race. Cultural Factors: The lower participation in swimming among some Black communities is largely driven by historical, cultural, and socioeconomic factors, rather than physiological limitations.

it's not bone density it has to do with low body fat count. fat floats muscles sinks

Recent studies have debunked the myth that people of African, Caribbean, and Asian heritage cannot float due to "heavy bones" or higher bone density. While research indicates that individuals of Black heritage may have a slightly higher bone mineral density on average, this does not dictate swimming ability or prevent successful floating.

While scientific data confirms African Americans have higher bone mineral density on average, recent research from the University of Portsmouth has debunked the idea that this determines buoyancy.

Sounds like yet another excuse. We Need DEI because we’re black and we don’t float, so you have to make more allowances for us. You have to lower standards for us! How insulting to good black men and women. I got where I am due to super hard work and zero excuses. I never got any favors with my white privilege card. I don’t give favors to black privilege cards either. Merit and character is what is important. Not your color, race, or creed. When I hire someone, I want your character and your skills. You can leave all that other crap outside the door. And if you can’t meet my needs, you’re out. Simple as that. 🤷🏻‍♀️🇺🇸

It doesn’t have anything to do with intelligence or race. It has everything to do with the brightness of that mind, and the determination of that heart! And when I say brightness, I’m referring to intelligence being able to process things so quick, that instantly they can respond without saying words to blank spaces! Like Nikki Haley, exceptionally intelligent and super bright you could ask her anything because her intelligence is so broad she can instantly give you an answer! Unlike Janine Ferrero or whatever the hell her name was way back in a day around Reagan’s time she ran for vice president she was 10 times smarter than the last woman that we had run for president but she was 10 times slower than Nikki Haley that in itself I’ll let you know how dumbHarris was and is

I think it is all in the breathing or the lung capacity to inflate the lungs with air as like water wings and float. you would see many African kids jumping off of Piers and swimming but they get eaten by crocodiles or other predators that visited water holes
