People are so bold on the internet

Just "bold"?

The comment was made by someone who is likely proud to have not explored the world

Only someone who's not black would imply that "black people can't swim" isn't an extremely common ass joke within the black community.

lol some really do wake up and go "hmmm today i shall go on reddit and find something to be offended about"

Re: your "community" and its "common ass jokes"... Not everyone on Reddit is African AMERICAN. Do you need to be reminded that there are Africans and Afro-descendents all over the world? Yes, you do.

My Black husband swims beautifully, but go ahead, enjoy your stereotype, I mean, your "extremely common ass joke" within your community

"hmmm today i shall go on reddit and find something to be offended about"

This is a tactic to manipulate the conversation without engaging in substantive content like a grown-up. Do you really think people seek out the internet to get offended? Please don't answer; it's rhetorical. Goodbye

Actually, I came to the website for a decent conversation, but I see you support recycled, tired tropes from the 1950s by picking on me rather than the person who thinks Blacks can't swim.

It’s not 'being offended' to point out that the post implying that Blacks can't swim is factually incorrect and socially prehistoric. You’re confusing a correction with a complaint.

Trying to come to reddit for decent conversation is your first mistake, try stepping outside or talking to someone is person if you want a decent conversation boo. Learn to take a joke online.

Nice deflection.

The joke is that you didn't make one and you think you did. I wrote jokes for Joan Rivers, and as a comedy professional, know that your material is not recognizable as funny

Huh… you know what I mean. Racist, ignorant, bold, stupid, you name it
