@BigAngBlack @Heimdall @BlackMastodon @blackmastodon Maybe we need to give him a title to commemorate the event: GOAT swimming fully clothed and shod to save a brother.

@Heimdall @BlackMastodon @blackmastodon @BigAngBlack I was born on an island, and I can't swim to save my ass (OK, that one time when I was in deep water and felt a tentacle sliding up my thigh does NOT count), even bare ass naked. That young man did us ALL proud.

@BigAngBlack @blackmastodon @BlackMastodon I liked the comment from the one brother, "it's not 1963 anymore." He didn't even take it back cause '63 was as far as he was going before putting his foot down. The aqua man swimming across was pure gold.

@blackmastodon @BlackMastodon

this is why you dont swim in the rivers down south. Bravery on top of bravery

Not one white person went to that man’s defense. Just fucking shameful.

Par isn’t anywhere good enough. Do better, white people, a lot better.
