        it was never about black kids not wanting 2 swim. It was about access. Pools in black neighborhoods were defunded or nonexistent

        The term "african-american" is racist . "Black" is the correct word.

        That stereotype is a choice to ignore the fact that blacks do not have the luxury of swimming pools at their disposal!
