    It is pretty funny how conservative media will sometimes accidentally paint good people as heros by saying things they think are bad but 80% of Americans support. This one is about as stupid as Obama’s tan suit.

      Fox News always does this, lists out the candidate’s position with great points as if they’re bad. Some examples:

    Y’all know that stereotype about how “black people can’t swim?” That came about because, back in the day, cities were being forced to racially-integrate their swimming pools and a lot of them spitefully chose to close them instead. (And then the wealthier white people regained access by buying memberships to private pools, possibly attached to their new swim/tennis subdivision they’d just moved to as a result of white flight. The net result is that White Americans are more likely than Black Americans to have the opportunity to learn to swim, to this day.)

    Just something to think about in this thread about the New York Post trying to get people mad about a leftist brown person in a swimming pool.

      Actually goes back even further.

      During slavery being able to cross water was a superpower for escaping slaves. Blood hounds would lose the scent.

      If a master saw one slave swimming, everyone would be whipped. Pretty soon, the older slaves would stop any kid who went into the river.

          Here’s another fact I learned recently.

          Back in the early days of movies, it was common for a vaudeville to show a one reel cartoon in the middle of the live acts.

          Because blackface performers were popular in those days a lot of the early cartoon were based on blackface comedians.

          That’s why so many wear white gloves, have black bodies and white lips.

      Look, just let whitey have this one sport. Between that and the winter olympics, it’s about all we’ve got left.

    Let’s be honest, if he dressed in a bathing suit they’d be on his case for dressing inappropriately for his office.

    As opposed to the inverse where is I applauded because squints he jumped into a pool while wearing a suit…

    It’s annoying because this is just being in both directions. Spit on him for not being formal or suck him off for not being formal.

    This is more political slop that doesn’t make better policy or the country better.
