Of course, let's frame a tragedy where 6 children drowned in a river in Louisiana on race instead of lack of swimming knowledge and parental ignorance.  I'm not sure where to "place the blame" on this one. Is it still that bad in LA where black families have no access to swimming lessons and public pools?  (I guess I wouldn't be entirely surprised)

And here's an ABC News clip featuring the tragedy and explaining how 3 times the number of black children drown than white children, and briefly goes into the possible reasons why. The teens who drowned should be considered heros, considering they went into that water trying to save their sibling/friend.
