It's not particularly hard. I've read articles discussing this and tl;dr if you start young enough that you haven't fully gotten rid of that infantile instinct then you don't sperg the FUCK out and enter the "I'm drowning" reflex.
If you look at the two in OP, they go absolutely bonkers the moment they get above their head, and any reasoning in their brains goes right out the window as pure instinct takes over. They can't simply lean back and take it easy or whatever because they're freaking the fuck out.
>>11112827I think it's because of the complete lack of family that most Blacks in the US have, where teaching your children certain things and doing certain things are just not done because nobody did them for you. Over two hundred years of the Democrats... well, existing in some for or another, has completely robbed Blacks of really basic notions that White Americans, and absolutely everyone else on the planet, have. You then get this weird crabs-in-the-bucket mentality, despite there being pockets of competence within Black society that trace back very, very far. Like, cooking meals from scratch instead of just buying ready-made food or microwavable dinners is something that most Blacks just... don't do, and any notion of doing it is outrageous because "that's White". They lack these social technologies as a whole, but there ARE pockets of Black society that do do these things "natively", and not just because "I'm wealthier now, so I don't care if I'm 'acting white'".
So you get this weird divide where you'll have dirt poor Mississippi Blacks who swim and have long standing culinary traditions, and urban Blacks who make like twenty times more in income, but don't know how to swim and couldn't cook anything that didn't come from a box with directions on the side.
