Black people...please don't become good at BP, its all we have left. That and Michael Phelps.
Can't say I've played alot of beer pong, so I couldn't give you a valid opinion. However, I was on a swim team in high school and we didn't have a single tree monkey on our team. I was really curious about this, like the little boy in the Tootsie pop commercial, so one day I climbed up in a tree and asked Mr. Owl, "why do tree monkies play every other sport beside swimming?"
With his eyes full of wisdom and a face older than the hills, Mr. Owl paused, took in a deep breath, and finally answered, "In Africa, the rivers and streams are full of crocodiles and other dangerous beasts. Whenever the little tree monkey ventures too close to the water's edge, the other wild beasts chase him away. The tree monkeys of Africa never even get the chance to wet their smelly black feet, so how could they possibly learn swimming?"
Needless to say, I was dumbstruck by Mr. Owl's ancient wisdom and the simplicity of his question. It became so clear, so very obvious to me........ If you grow up in the North, you learn how to play ice hockey, if you grow up in the South you learn how to swim but if you grow up in South Central LA you
learn how to run!
