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.

BADDIES MIDWEST EPISODE 19
Summer & that Happy Meal Crunchy Peptobismo Pink Wig has completely drained me . Ever since she talked about Slim’s dead father unprovoked , I’ve been over her & she just never stops . Thirsty for camera time . Was she wrong for what she was saying ? No but do you always have to say something & jump into something 👎🏽 she the only new girl that can’t just be quiet .
Ahna calling summer out for jumping into things this season , but she does the exact same thing 🤦🏾♂️
So tired of the jumping/ tag teaming this season but Summer did sneak Slim for no reason tho, so that’s lowkey her karma . Scotty should’ve been did that without Ahna tho & nobody won their one on one.
Scotty needs to stop pillowtalking between friends, that’s fake , but Rollie just as fake for holding the information too
Rollie & Tinka on this “Mommy , Tommie Shot Me” tour like they didn’t bring this on themselves tryna bully her and jump into something that had nothing to do with them . Them in the wheelchairs had me in tears .
Natalie could’ve did more , if she was really Rollie “friend” . She could’ve went to check on her in person, a text message is lazy lmaoo & how you trying to blame Biggie for the Tommie stuff and you invited her and it was your idea for her to come to the house 🤦🏾♂️ & then went to the club calling everybody scary like they wasn’t shook
I feel like Natalie knew Tommie was coming on BS 😭
