I am raising money for my new motion picture. It's a sequel to 'White Men Can't Jump' that I am calling 'Black Men Can't Swim'. Please let me know how many millions I can count on you to contribute for this important project to combat racial stereotypes

I actually literally already made a documentary by this name.

I played waterpolo in high-school and college and I was really close with the guy who became the US Olympic goalie, named Genai Kerr. I made the documentary about him and Omar Amr who were the first two black guys on the US waterpolo team. Omar is especially kind of nuts because he's also really short, but one of the fastest swimmers around.

I made the documentary when I went to college for film school. It was super fun.

One of the other funny things is while I was shooting this, BET was doing an episode of cribs on Gennai, but despite being an Olympic athlete Gennai was not rich. He drove a Volvo, as did everyone in his family. BET didn't like this, nor did they like his apartment. So they rented him a Ferrari and a beach house and pretended like they were both his for the show.

Edit: Misspelled the names.

I was obviously just having a bit of fun, but thats actually a pretty cool documentary, and you knocked the title out of the park. If I saw that come up on Netflix I'd watch it
