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.

The only thing black people do outdoors is stand on a corner or sit on a porch.. They don't swim.. You won't find them in the woods hiking.. They don't go camping or visit the national parks..
They play sports like b ball or football and that's their outdoors activity.
They were actually talking about this on pBS the other night. It's not just blacks but also Hispanics.
So all you people whom whine about minorities, just visit a National Park and it's all white people..
