A disturbing incident took place at a lake. The sister of a young Black girl says a man pulled up his dock ladder while her sibling was trying to climb out of the water. The girl cried out that she could not breathe and begged for help, but the man refused, telling her to go around.
According to the sister, two women nearby said “you people shouldn’t be swimming here” while the child was being dragged under by waves from passing boats. Moss and weeds on the dock made it impossible for her to climb out, and she was slipping below the surface gasping for air.
The sister also says that the same man had earlier let white children use the ladder but removed it when her Black sister reached for it. She says she pulled her sibling out herself and believes that if she hadn’t acted, her sister would not have survived.
This reflects a wider pattern. Black people have long been treated with hostility and exclusion around pools, lakes, and other bodies of water. What should be safe spaces for leisure are too often turned into sites of danger and racism.

@Dulenciaga So she refunded it to test it but this who yall defending , sht not making sense nomore she could’ve did this from the beginning and did $1 not $150
@thejaylamora@niaaduh I’m confused, you already had the money??? Why refund it to “see if it’s gon through” it’s not making sense if you already charged that girl card to begin with??? Am I missing something?
@Dulenciaga Wait lets really think abt it tho , if tht girl rlly tried to run out .. why didnt she just run after she got dragged? Why she let her do that to her and just stood up??.. & how she catch her to where she dragging her? Why she didnt try to run while being dragged
