Beat your daughter like a runaway slave brehettesHow about the part about that she disciplined her daughter out of anger because her life at the time was similar to what Jews in the halocaust or runaway slaves went thru.
= she took her frustration out on her daughter .
Not talking about everyone. But we can't sit up here and lie that for every parent who has a routine of "pull down your pants" and administer exactly 5 licks and then told to reflect on what you did, you have parents out here getting mad while they are shopping because their 3 year old who is naturally curious might stray and yanking them by the arm and start wailing on the kid and maybe call them nikka or bytch for a cherry on top of destroying their child's self esteem.
The first one, you can argue is done to teach a lesson or as you said, discipline. The second, is done only because the parent is mad and frustrated in the moment because a kid isn't a perfectly quiet and obedient like a monk. The latter is abuse and happens a lot.
Lauryn put it perfectly about discipline out of anger. The question is what are you angry about and is the child just a punching bag if your anger and frustration is caused by other stress combined with the difficulties of raising a child.
Ok, since you wanted my attention
I see a lot of black parents doing this and it is most likely causing some mental issues we see in black children as it relates to anger and emotional stability. Violence is normalized and what do you think that does from a socialization aspect?
I hate that this is considered normal discipline in the black community. Look at the state of the black community and tell me what we’ve been doing has been working.
Not denying it at all. I think there is a difference, between doing it out of discipline and doing it out of frustration. Again, we can't sit up here and pretend there isnt plenty of examples of the latter. I really hate seeing it being done in conjuction calling little boys nikkas and girls bytches too which I've seen a lot. Not going to compare against races. Just talking about us. Also, I know you can't say im lying about there being a culture of glorifying whipping as if it's being cheered and laughed at instead of viewed as a "neccesary evil". In the other thread folks were talking about how more kids need their ass beat with smileys. As if they get some proxy sadistic pleasure of seeing someone else get beat and cheer it from the sidelines.Every race whooped their kids....... Africans. Asians, Indiana, White, all....... whooping kids for bad behavior when their young does not normalize violence
It “helped” at the expense of our mental health.it has absolutely worked.... Your perspective is limited... We’ve been here 500 years strong when we should’ve been wiped out or an afterthought long ago.... You fortify that type of resilience, steadfastness, and discipline...... and using corporal punishment helped do that
