Not that I've given it much thought previous. I'd have said maybe they're less bouyant...or Afro Sheen leaves behind a slick...not many pools adjacent to cotton fields...they're already dark, so no need to tan at the beach. Swimming isn't needed when running from cops.
Some interestin' (and amusing) articles on Google search.
Seems to be a cultural thing going back to segregation and white-only pools - that tends to be the popular excuse.

Of course its white guy's fault. Who else should be teaching your kids manners, education or swimming lessons? Parents? I don't think it is parental responsibility to do so.
