I've read the OP.
The headline is still triggering, and it's extremely frustrating as a black person to read that. I'll respond to the EXACT part that has me hot right now. Please read it and let me know if there are any other rules I must make sure to follow to appease your sensibilities. Sigh.
Who is "us?" I'm black, my whole family is black, and I personally think it's a little fucked to post things like this that generalize a person's life as if it's representative of the entire race.
I'm not mad at the OP, just the general idea and fact that our people have to put up with these dumbass stereotypes as if they're proven fact. Frustrating.
EDIT: I grew up around a lot of country ass white folk that beat the shit out of their children, wives and family members AND bragged about it in public and got kudos for it. The shit ain't localized to our people but we're the only ones that have threads like this made about them. Shit makes my blood boil.
I went into this thread thinking that OP was simply generalizing based on his personal experience, his family, his friends maybe.
But if you look at the statistics that were posted later, it actually seems like black people (in America) do use/accept beating children more often than the other groups polled. I think that's probably what OP meant, that it is generally more accepted.
Do you disagree with that?
Full disclosure, I'm a complete outsider, being neither black nor American.
We know it's the rule.
Still, my black ass. Do better with your fucking thread titles.
Oh, no argument there. I went into this thread expecting a super racist rant that gets nuked within minutes, from the title. It should absolutely be changed.
Manny Toons Would you ask for a title change? It looks really bad, I think. Your thread and all, but I think you can see how it's derailing hard
