Ask a Black Man.....

[layeazy]

yeah makes alot of sense i must say eminem is very talented and would agree with the product of the environment..

With James bond the black man that came to my mind was Denzel Washington lol.

Is there a reason why black men can't swim? You never see them competing at international level for example the Olympics?

Denzel woud make a helluva a James Bond. I don't know if he can pull off the english accent though. Lawrence Fishburne would be another candidate. Him as Orthello was remarkable.

Black men can swim. That's a stereotype. As a matter of fact, a black American won two gold medals at the last olympics in swimming. Traditionally blacks don't compete in swimming because for years, there weren't pools we were allowed to attend. Many public pools in both the north and the south weren't integrated until later. Swimming is a very expensive sport (like hockey, lacrosse, golf, etc), that is the reason why you don't see many blacks competing in it.

BTW, my father was a special operations soldier, swam quite well. I learned to swim in creeks and ponds in South Carolina. My sons and I swim quite well and I have a pretty large pool in my backyard that we ACTUALLY use...lol!!!
