Why do they only use African American voices? I find this very Offending and feel like he is profiling my community. What White kids don't drown?
Let's face whites have swimming pools we don't..

As an African American who grew up in Broward County, This reminds me of the stories my parents use to tell me about Sheriff Clark Lynching African American for being black. Thanks for the fond memories Mr. Lamberti, You will never get my vote and will only be in your position for a short time.

If you dont have swimming pools then you need to keep your kids out of other people's pools. This way they won't drown......novel idea, huh???

This is just another example of Al taking advise from that DREAM TEAM he brought in. Hang in there Al you are going to be the shortest term sheriff in the history of this agency.

Taken from the CDC website:
Minorities:
Between 2000 and 2005, the fatal unintentional drowning rate for African Americans across all ages was 1.3 times that of whites. For American Indians and Alaskan Natives, this rate was 1.8 times that of whites.1
Rates of fatal drowning are notably higher among these populations in certain age groups. The fatal drowning rate of African American children ages 5 to 14 is 3.2 times that of white children in the same age range. For American Indian and Alaskan Native children, the fatal drowning rate is 2.4 times higher than for white children.1
Factors such as the physical environment (e.g., access to swimming pools) and a combination of social and cultural issues (e.g., valuing swimming skills and choosing recreational water-related activities) may contribute to the racial differences in drowning rates. If minorities participate less in water-related activities than whites, their drowning rates (per exposure) may be higher than currently reported.5

Good point, but everyone knows that the CDC is prejudiced against the African Americans, just ask Al Sharpton or Jessie Jackson, they know the truth. Just the other day the CDC was thinking up a way to conspire against all people of color. Maybe next the little green martians will be in the crosshairs of the CDC.

We prefer the term European American and Caucasian is acceptable. I find the comment about "white kids" and "whites" extremely offensive. Are you a racist?

Just another bunch of posts from retards trying to stir things up. How do you get anything racist from the drownign prevention campaign?? Oh wait, I know, pick me. Well then go ahead.......... You get a bunch of losers trying to smear the current Sheriff, because they were promised a BJ by someone running for Sheriff. Hey lets take everything out of context into one big pile of dogsnot. Lets throw some racist BS in the mix , that should do it. Nice try, Ahabs.

Wow, this whole thing backfired on Al which was directed by the Great Santucci. Looks like they really put alot of thought into the presentation..
What do you expect from a $150,000 a year External Affairs Communications Director. Which brings up another point, why do we need an External Communications Affairs Director anyway? In the 25 + years I have been here, this is the first. I guess it's just another cost saving measure in lieu of our raise.
Thanks Al..

So it would be safe that Jim is the Director and that the GREAT SANTUCCI was brought in as a politcal favor..
