Michael Phelps, the Olympic poster boy of this past summer’s games, got himself a DUI this past week. That got me to thinking, why aren’t there any black swimmers, blacks tend to do so well at so many sports yet seem completely absent from others, where my people at?!?! So here’s my top 5 reasons you don’t see black swimmers:

Top 5 Reasons You Don’t See Black Swimmers

• 5. Water just sits on top of our hair, doesn’t soak in, makes us look funny on the camera.
• 4. Growing up, we played in the hose or the fire hydrant, we didn’t have a stinkin’ pool to learn to swim in. And if we did, it was entirely too crowded for anything more than standing around or it didn’t extend past the middle of your calves.
• 3. Chlorine makes us ashy!
• 2. Swimming involves water. We have had a collectively bad experience with water.
• 1. Can’t find any speedos that fit!!
