Have you read about Cris Carter's son, Duron Carter. Extremely talented kid, but also a real knucklehead. Maybe he should have whipped him a little.
Kids (especially privileged kids/middle to upper middle class white kids) like that are awfully mouthy and disrespectful to their parents. I can't believe the things that come out of people's mouth to their parents.
Again, difference between discipline and abuse. Maybe Cris Carter did not discipline him. Or maybe his son is just a "knucklehead". Plenty of kids are - even those who were abused, so clearly that isn't a foolproof answer either.
My goal in raising our children is that they behave appropriately whether I'm there or not.
As to the caucasian kids being the unruly ones everywhere, that's not been my observation.
For years, my job involved visits to high schools. The unruly ones were nearly always the black students. For example, I never once saw white teen girls knock someone to the floor and kick them. I saw black teen girls do this a number of times.
I've seen black teens threaten teachers. There are Youtube videos of black teens attacking teachers.
There's a recent video of a group of black teens running through a mall and attacking a white man. Is there a similar video around of the reverse?
How people raise their children is all of our business as we are all part of the same community.
Wrong, white kids are loud and unruly BUT white teachers aren't scared of unruly white kids...they just smile and let the kids be nuts.
White kids don't threaten and smack talk teachers, but they are VERY disrespectful towards their parents. You almost never see "loud and unruly" black kids acting like that with black teachers AND NEVER with their parents. White kids think nothing of sassing their parents in public, even cursing them out. I'm not sure how one is ok and the other is not....their both deplorable.
This practice seems to be a regional / cultural thing.
And so I guess we should not wonder why studies show domestic abuse is highest in the South and among African Americans in all regions. These children learn to get physical with others at an early age.
Doesn't matter if people grew up with it and they think they turned out okay. There was a time when people owned other people that they beat and worked 24-7 that was acceptable and okay and people defended it and justified it. There was a time when everyone didn't have the right to vote and people justified and defended it and claimed things were okay because of it. Just because it is one's personal experience doesn't make it right.
We're also assuming that the people issuing beatings were the paragon of parenting and possessed the intelligence, social and mental abilities to have determined that was the best way to discipline their child. Physically lashing out is a knee jerk, immature easy reaction. A grown man who is a professional athlete who whips a child who is not even in his care most of the time so he most likely doesn't know how to discipline him effectively (one ex claims Peterson has 6 or so children) to the point that draws blood and leaves multiple scars is not a just and appropriate punishment period for a 4 year old.
I worked in juvenile detention for several years. Met all sorts of kids who got regular whippings.
And all sorts of parents who insisted that they had been whipped like this and they had "turned out just fine."
There is difference between a PARENT that uses whipping and a "parent" that uses whipping. Yes, a lot of bad parents use whipping because they see it as the easiest way to get desired behavior from kids while putting in minimal effort as a parent. I'm willing to bet the parents of those kids in the detention center were disfunctional in many ways.
Nope but she did tell me to shut up or I would get some more
Her whipping room was wherever I decided to act up
Hell yes she did.
Yup 4-?? My mom (my very best friend to this day) would whip my ass now if I did something disrespectful. And guess what? I'd never even think to raise my hand up to her.
I guess that is why I am so respectful to others. I was scolded for reaching for things at the grocery store because we had very little money. It taught me very valuable lessons as an adult. I turned out polite, happy, smart, etc.
Seems white parents think discipline is awful for children. Maybe that is why there is always little caucasian kids running around being so unruly everywhere. I myself am bi-racial. The white side would let me get away with everything under the sun. Guess where I had my first run-in with the law at? Yup, away from my mother at my other families place for the summer. Why? Because I knew I wouldn't get disciplined. I actually remember thinking about that before I tried to steal a candy bar. I would've never even thought about that had I been with my mother. So my mothers whoopings would have saved you some tax dollars. Her kids, her rules. Don't like it? none of your business. That's the way I see it.
Did your mother beat you with objects so hard that you were left with bloody wounds and bruises all over your body days after? You think that is "discipline?"
