Howard University breaking barriers as nation’s only all-Black college swim team

You don't know what racism is

[@Bibleverse1John2.22]

One minute "diversity is our greatest strength" next minute "breaking barriers with all black team" Seeing a pattern here. How quickly People forget about what was happening in Germany just before Hitler gained power. There was a reason all them white people supported him. China for the Chinese Africa for the Africans Israel for the self proclaimed Jews Japan for the Japanese India for the Indians Middle East for the Arabs Europe is for.... everyone? USA is for.... everyone? Australia is for...everyone? Yet white people are "racist"? Seems like just a bunch of white hate in the world.

I hope we can someday celebrate when we judge swimmers by the quality of their swimming, and not by the color of their skin.

Never gonna happen bro... just let it be

I don’t think segregation is the answer 😢

[@viewsthatfade]

How do you feel about Jews, Chinese, Cubans, Whites and Arabs having segregated communities? It's called groupism. Every smart ethnic group in Americs is segregated.

[@robertm7120]

@@viewsthatfade when ANY group is segregated, even by themselves, it does NOT promote unity among this nation !! Period. Look, I get it. And I do understand why minority groups would want to do this. To strengthen their own community. But at the same time it sets them apart from the rest of their larger community of people. I’m sure the elite racist whites are very happy to see a video like this! This is EXACTLY what they want! They want to exploit our differences and segregate people into ethnic groups. And you are going right along with it 😕. You are helping them and you do not want to realize it.

[@TheCommunicationCoach]

Isn't 'breaking barriers' a bit of a cliche? They're a team of very-good swimmers; I hope they go on to do well.

that's racist

[@viewsthatfade]

It's racist for black people to have HBCUs? Explain in detail and provide sources. Do you have a problem with Chinese and Jews having their own schools as well?

[@philpottkentucky4802]

Howard has historically been open to all races, as have all HBUs, unlike the whites-only state schools.

[@debbiegannon5735]

@@viewsthatfade As long as it's privately funded that's fine, If our tax dollars are paying for segregation that's not ok.

[@beyondhuman3148]

That's not breaking barriers, that's segregation💨🤡

[@hueyriley]

It's a historically black college. THE student alumni consists of at least 90 % black students. However there are white, Asian, and Latin students that attend..lol

[@somnuswaltz5586]

I really wanna see a white swimmer sue to be able to join the swim team 👍

[@dennisjohnson7139]

This isn't that. They can join.

[@viewsthatfade]

Plenty of all white swim teams to choose from. It's an HBCU understand? It's a school created for black people because white people didn't want to allow them into white schools during Jim Crow.

[@williamjames914]

They can join if they are at Howard

[@jarretheller2244]

They can easily join.

Segregation ended in 1964. Common people.

There are white people at Howard. You all trying too hard. Lol

[@viewsthatfade]

Segregation has not ended. Jews, Chinese, Cubans, Whites and so on still have segregated communities in America. It's called groupism and that's what you're supposed to do as a group.

Lol you do know that all races go to Howard University right. You may want to retract this statement

[@mulastafa]

What are the chances of a white kid from ohio joining?

[@hueyriley]

Good. Anybody can go to Howard University. You just have to apply. However the question is how many white people want to go to a university full of non whites students.. not many. And Howard harms an impeccable reputation. No scandals or anything

[@jjwashington3872]

Black people can do things? Make a movie about it.

[@jcfpv3454]

People constantly motivated by race instead of talent. This is what continues to drive racial divide among the community.

[@hueyriley]

It's historically black university.. lol but all races are allowed to join. And it's never had scandals. On the flipside, it was created because intelligent blacks weren't allowed to attend "all white" schools. Yet Howard's accepts all...mmmm

[@mr.hallman333]

Where's the all white one?

Open your eyes, there has always been all white teams in all sports.

[@Rob-iy2rt]

@@denisebarfield9136 So fight racism with extreme black supremacy? Sounds backwards.

[@denisebarfield9136]

@@Rob-iy2rt There are only three supreme beings: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, otherwise, no such human beings exist on planet earth or in heaven. God has made of one blood, all nations. So no being is superior over the other. The point that I am making is, because people of color are for the most part, on purpose, are excluded from certain sports and other areas of life, so, therefore we must look after ourselves by working and building something for ourselves of which white people want to exclude us. There was at one time a Black Wall Street and all black hospital of which was literally bombed by the white people because they knew that we didn't need them to be successful. But remember, the white man said that we were incapable of learning but history bears a different story.

[@Rob-iy2rt]

Breaking barriers? By being exclusive? No, I don't think so.

[@nic8164]

No one is being exclusive they never said that ppl of other races can’t join it’s just a phenomenon that there is an all black swim team in a sport they were always denied

It's an HBCU, what are you talking about. Jews and Chinese have their own schools and there are plenty of all white schools in America in upscale communities. Problem with that?

[@hueyriley]

The school is 90% black because it's a historically black college. However they have white and other races that attend. Do your research first..
