We need to remove the side acceptance of whoopings in the black community

It's child abuse. It doesn't actually have long term improvements to a child's behavior and it's not comparable to a real world view on punishment. But you hear about it all the time people bragging about how their moms or dad used to beat the shyt outta them with all sorts of means...

We need to open up this discussion but it's crazy whenever I say I'm not gonna physically punish my kids I'm looked at like I'm crazy.

Let's talk about this. Why are you for ou against it.

I hear you. I dont agree but I hear you. The issue is this, this might work for others however the harsh reality for our kids ( i'm speaking for black kids) is that they need to know when and when not to react. They need to know that actions have consequences and not everything is tolerable. This doesn't mean beating the kid up, i do not condone that but there needs to be action in cases of misbehavior.


just my thoughts

There's difference between spanking and child abuse. I guarantee all these school shooters were quickly sent to time out as kids

at child abuse. Child abuse is child abuse a whooping is a whooping.

My homie used to straight fukk up his boys because his dad did the same to him.

They genuinely adore him and he doesn't do it anymore. I spoke to him about it and he says he regrets doing it as you can't teach through violence.

With that being said there are definitely situations when I deserved getting my ass beat as a kid! But for me they were few and far between so I learnt from them rather than being terrified of my parents.

There's a difference between being whooped and being physically abused. I was whooped as a kid and I can say for sure that it molded me to be a better person. Now, if you can discipline your child verbally and they listen then there's no need, however, sometimes you gotta whoop that ass. Look at all these timeout kids and other children that throw tantrums in public because they are not being corrected properly. My parents used to give me that look of "wait until we get home and you gonna get it" just when I thought about misbehaving. I was never bruised by my parents or anything like that but getting whooped IS NOT child abuse. Physical child abuse (because there are other forms of it) is when you unnecessarily beat them in a violent degree.When you leave bruises and blemishes, when your child bleeds or can't even breath because they were struck, that's child abuse. This is, however, my opinion.

I whoop my son and I sit down and have a conversation afterward so he can understand why it happened and to understand that dad still loves him.

The baddest kids growing up didnt get whooped. They were told to write sentences or go on timeout

I guess its case-by-case and also depends on the method.

Like you're beating your kids with pots & pans and tree branches... Relax

I only got the belt, or the hands.

Worked for me.

I look at it as a valid method of discipline because I only respected fear & consequences.

A simple "sit down" wasnt effective for me i was a bad ass kid lol.... i only respected fear & discipline.

I didnt respect "lectures" lol

It stops after a certain age tho.

Around 14-15, you start gettin too big to get whipped with the belt.

Around 12-13, I didnt even take my mama serious with that shyt. I was taller than her at that point

After 14, pops was just squaring up with me and giving me the hands at that point.

Grown man shyt.

It was one time I felt he was being extra & I didnt deserve it so I fought back and we had a fist fight and my mama had to break it up.

Let people discipline their kids how they want..... My folks did everything right. I thank them for disciplining when I was doing certain dumb shyt.

Got homies who used to run over their parents... Alot of them nikkas are bums or in jail now

Different kids need different punishments

There are people in prison who didn’t get ass whoopings as a kid and should have, there are also people in prison who got their ass whooped and shouldn’t have and are worse off for it

from what i read from some of the posts on here, a lot of ya'll were abused and not spanked.

I guarantee all these school shooters were quickly sent to time out as kids

Then ultimately when physicians, specialists, childcare professionals discuss how data, information and behavior indicates hitting children is what begets violence ya'll close your eyes, stick your fingers in your ears and refuse to admit the view is wrong.

I hear whut u saying but Yes it does to an extent. You fukk up or do something u know u aint supposed to be doing and pain might come behind it...thats real life.

I'm ok with spanking if its in moderation. Sadly some parents do go overboard with it.
