I'm black. In general, this is so true: we don't get in the water. For us women, our hair will get ruined, and it takes forever to redo, and for the fellas, it's all about the "look cool factor"🤣
I was married to a black woman with 4 black kids. We moved to the beach in Delaware this past summer. After being there for 5 weeks, and not once going to the beach except to go surf fishing twice; once with the 2 boys, the second time with one of the boys, I realized we were NEVER going to go to the beach! We might as well have stayed in Northern VA!
😂you gave it the good college try. I’m half black and used to have no problem going to the beach but for some reason the older I’ve gotten it’s just a no for me. More for fear of what’s in the water than anything else. Pools are fine though
This is hilarious! My gym teacher in high school didn’t even get in the water when we had swim class. She walked around the pool in full makeup with her hair done and got mad at me when I almost drown because she thought she was going to have to come in to get me 😂😂😂
I don't necessarily think this is a black thing. I had a white PE teacher in high school, and he never got in the water during swim class either. Doesn't have a fear of water or anything like that. He could swim too. I was shocked. To me, it's unacceptable that a swimming teacher doesn't get in the water. It does not inspire confidence for the kids who don't know how to swim.

This is utterly fascinating. It's a completely foreign social experience to what's happened in my life. A pool party is all about the pool and GETTING IN IT! Standing around the pool dressed up is fine, but then it's not a "pool" party, it's just a damn party! Ha! I am black too!

Lol, I was that rare kid that would jump in. my grandmother would take my sister and I to the Salon before a family reunion. I would be so excited to get to the pool and I would hear the dreaded words, "You're not getting in that pool after I paid to get your hair done"! 😮💨 So I had to sit at the edge of the pool and dangle my feet. I started requesting to not have my hair done so I could get in the pool, my request was always denied. 😒

What's funny is my first pool party no one was swimming either and I'm black. I got it and everyone looked at me like I was crazy. I think 3 ppl actually got all the way in. everyone else sat on the edge with their legs in the pool
We had to push people in at our pool parties. And when I was in Jamaica even the lifeguard was amazed at how far out I could swim. Jakes would say about me, "(Patois accent)That boy swim like fish (pronounced feesh)😂"
I swam at a beach for the 1st time just last year. I took my 2 nieces and their friend to SC. They were actually swimming like they were in a pool. I said, “if they’re not afraid of Sharks I’m not going to be, so I swam. But right before that 4 Black women were right at the water just chillin. They then got up, put their feet in the Ocean and started taking pictures. I cracked up!😂 Dude you’re hilarious😂
When they went to kick him out he should have said "alright, get in here and escort me off the premises. Cause I know you ain't gettin your ass in here." 🤣🤣

Still love when you told this on Pittsburghs Morning WDVE radio station long ago....."the girls aint gettin their hair wet , no way, they be like 'No girl, I heard Bens gonna be at this Pool Party....Imma get me that LAST NAME, mmm hmmm......... Tameeka Roethlisberger " lmmfao
Dang I just learned to swim at the age of 42 lol. I love being in the pool. The deeper the more fun it is. I swam in a lake last year for the first time. This year I’m learning to canoe. I want go far in the ocean! That’s totally different water and buoyancy. The lake I was in was man made and they drain it to clean it plus it was only 15ft. I hate I waited so long to learn to swim. I swim year round and lost 35 pounds in one year not trying because I love to swim. I encouraged my mother to learn this year because it helps with arthritis. I’m paying for her to take private lessons. We will see how it goes!
I remember talking to a black friend about the beach, sunblock or something and he was like " black people don't lay out at the beach". Mind blown as I realized its mostly true! I don't lay out to tan, it just feels good but I never see black people lay out much lol
I knew lots of black women in the army that would lay out at the beach or pool. One girl I worked with loved sunbathing, said she didn’t have as much issue with dry skin when she tanned.
I attended a James Brown concert in the late 60s and a black comedian opened the show. He told some jokes about white people, which were hilariously funny, and I could see some black people looking my way to see if I thought the jokes were funny, too. Yep, they were. As someone else said, "Funny is funny."
I only went to three pool parties before stopping. The third time, I was watching the pool with no one in it, then I realized that probably none of us knew how to swim anyway. Had no business organizing a pool party to begin with.
My sister-in-law is Afro-Brazilian. She and my brother came to visit and we're getting ready to get in the Gulf of Mexico and she said, "Not too deep, I don't want to get my hair wet." Also found out, she doesn't know how to swim. I was like, "You lived in Rio and you don't know how to swim?" She looks at me. "That's a white people thing - and by the way. What is it with all you white people wanting to go camping? I lived in a favela. I've done enough 'camping.'"
LOL this dude is hilarious and I can totally relate! I've been to those pool parties and all you gotta do is read the room; yes, you can get in the water (I did) but no, you can't splash people! Also, it doesn't matter what color/ethnicity you are, no female attendee will ever get their head wet at such parties, myself included and I'm a swimmer!

I was a lifeguard at a city pool in AL back in the 80s. Our High School had Summer School PE at the pool, and my guess was, 80-90% of the Summer Schoolers were black. Long story short, I saved a black chick from the bottom of the pool. Black girl, laying on a black racing stripe, wearing a bathing suit the same color as the water......brought her up, to the side, and my buddies gave her mouth to mouth. Took a minute, but she came back to life. When someone later on asked her, wtf, she said she knew she could not swim, but the diving board (which is in the deepest water) looked fun........

Maybe that’s a wealthy black pool party thing, cause all the ones I’ve been to both country and city everyone got in the pool. Lol. Or maybe black pool parties in Texas are different.
“I can hear the ocean. We at the ocean” is something that I will always remember. A brilliant philosopher.

I'm black. In general, this is so true: we don't get in the water. For us women, our hair will get ruined, and it takes forever to redo, and for the fellas, it's all about the "look cool factor"🤣
LOL!!!......Me? I'd be like, "What'd I do to offend???!!!!"....................
I'm German. We look white, but we don't have pool parties because we don't have private pools.
for all of you its the my parents never took me to a pool and taught me how to swim lets be real here and stop pretending
And the fact that blacks cannot swim.
It’s also cuz no one knows how to swim 😄

Hes funny as hell and he’s actually telling the truth
The pool is the centerpiece! True & hilarious.
I cannot with him. 😂 Every time he says, "I didn't knooooo." 🤣
When he said "sorry I messed up your pool party," it reminded me of that scene in Forest Gump.
That was the first thing I thought of. “Sorry,I ruined your Black Panther party!😂
Nobody’s getting in the water anyways 😂😂😂
You beat me to the joke. Good job.

Facts 🤣😂
Ain't
I'm offended... But you're not wrong though.
I always thought it was crazy that we don't party in the pool. It would be so much fun. Gary was spot on though that joint had me crying at the end.
Why don’t you just jump in then??? Do what Gary did and start jumping on the diving board 😂 🏊🏻♂️
😂😂😂😂😂
A black pool party is just a bbq isn't it?
Basically lol
Yup
You mean cookout?
Yeah u wear shyte for the pool but don't get in if that makes sense...its just what we like
@Jonathan Winston no BBQ. Cookout and BBQ has different food and times of ending. Please re-read your Black Bible. 18th Man Man chapter Fo verse Lem.

Let'em know Gary yes you certified. Certified FAS 👏🏾 That part.
I was raised in Fort Lauderdale I've been swimming my entire life. I love it!
Sharks don't bite toes, LMAO
I’m African American, and I actually love swimming… lol ( natural curly hair don’t get ruined) 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤💯
Linen and gators to a pool party… hell yeah!
I swam at a beach for the 1st time just last year. I took my 2 nieces and their friend to SC. They were actually swimming like they were in a pool.

I do not get in the pool. But I can't swim. I'm a stereotype 🤣.
3 lessons and you’d learn. It’s a wonderful a valuable thing
We don't get in the pool until 5 hours later.
Ppl in the pool on the flyer 😂

Indians are pretty much the same. But do like to live near beach. asians are also like this
I knew lots of black women in the army that would lay out at the beach or pool. One girl I worked with loved sunbathing, said she didn’t have as much issue with dry skin when she tanned.
I love it, I do have to say I was definitely hanging with my YT friends when I picked up the practice 😅🤣
2 words: skin cancer
I've been able to swim since I was 7. And every time I do someone threatens to call the local news; "He can swim! Check it out he can swim!"
Growing up never seeing it, it is exciting :)
Thank you for including clips of black people laughing so I know it's okay to laugh.

Could have been a trap, a clip from Kevin Hart show. Don't trust media. I only laugh at animal jokes because I don't want to offend anyone
@@jariz26haha don’t live your life like that, man
If its funny to you then laugh. Not at your boss though.
Dude. This was so funny
Any black event, is a BBQ. Don’t ever forget that. 😂😂
I only went to three pool parties before stopping. The third time, I was watching the pool with no one in it, then I realized that probably none of us knew how to swim anyway. Had no business organizing a pool party to begin with.
F that, I live in Phoenix. It's way too damn hot to be sitting AROUND the pool, you got me f'ed up. Lol
The pool is just for decoration.
That gator and hush puppy joke went over heads something crazy 😂😂
So true about black folk pool parties. I've been to many, and I have yet to be at one where anybody actually got in the water LoL.
My sister-in-law is Afro-Brazilian. She and my brother came to visit and we're getting ready to get in the Gulf of Mexico and she said, "Not too deep, I don't want to get my hair wet."

The camping thing I get, but swimming is a white people thing. No, it's a life skill.
No lies told! Black pool party is just a outdoor function 🤣🤣🤣
I had no idea this was a thing. Thank you Gary.

Start pushing people in and then jump in yourself. It's a Party ! Get Wild !
He left like forrest gump: “ im sorry for wreckin your black panther party” 😂

I'm black amd this is so true. I was the only one in the pool. 😂
I get in the pool everytime, love it.
I got a natural hair so 😅 I’m getting my ass in the pool. But don’t expect my ass to swim😂😂😂well
I watch this so many times it is still funny. It’s funny because it’s true! 😂😂😂
The women usually don't get in cause they don't want to mess up thier hair and the guys won't if there are no women in.
Oooooooooo...... GARY you r killing me😂😂😂

Maybe that’s a wealthy black pool party thing, cause all the ones I’ve been to both country and city everyone got in the pool. Lol. Or maybe black pool parties in Texas are different.
Yeah and the Caribbean ones out here in nyc people get in the pool as well.
Cuz it's too dang hot and the pool feels good
Black bbqs are Hatfield hotdogs, frozen burgers and classic lays chips
Here's a big DON'T.....Don't go.
This dude is so hilarious🤣 National treasure
“My time to shine” 10 seconds into entering the pool area
Should have stayed in the pool at the deep end and said I'm kicked out? Well, if that's the case, come get me out?
Ain't no weaves getting wet with some black people 😂😂
But trust me, some of us have real hair and don't care...we will jump in😂
The city pool where I grew up would have turds floating in the water when they had free admission and the black kids showed up.
