Black girls can swim, too

....if we can win the gold in gymnastics, why can't we swim? I'm so sick of all these jokes about black women and our hair when it comes to working out and sweating. I'm all for people expressing how they feel, but for some reason this guy really worked my nerves with his comment he made:

This is the status my friend posted on facebook about swimming:
North Carolina Central University swimming pool, one of the facility that is barely used by students.. Why.. SMH most students do not know how to swim, second short hours for swimming, 3 no activity to promote swimming, Is there a Central Swimming team on this CaMPus, it is all about basket-ball, football, volleyball, tennis, baseball or softball, WHAT ABOUT THE Other SPORTS!!!!! We really have a long way to go....SMH

This was the guy's response:

I don't know what it was about that that made me want to go off today, but it's ignorance like that and the women who make it slightly true that work my nerves. Whether you have a perm or natural hair learn how to take care of your hair on your own! Do the research! For years I didn't know how to do anything to my hair and I relied only on my hair salon for everything for many many years, but I've started doing the research. I've started looking up YouTube videos. You can learn ANYTHING on YouTube  Oh yeah, and "neggas" (he can't even spell) aren't afraid of water, sadly we (as a whole) don't know how to swim. Many of us didn't grow up with a pool or the resources to learn, but times have changed and pools are everywhere. Not only is swimming actually fun and a great workout, knowing how may save your life one day. And stop it with the damn stereotypes! We'll never get anywhere if we keep bringing each other down and talking about each other. 

So, to whoever that guy is, learn how to spell, learn how to make grammatically correct sentences, and stop bashing black women.

Maybe I took this a little too personal, I don't know. We just need to bring each other up not break us down.

***Sorry if none of this makes sense. I needed to vent a little.***
