Whoopings

I think I changed my mind about
Whoopings on black children…
Here’s why?
I learned if you hurt your child
It will affect him or her…
Plus
Whoopings came from
Slavery
Colonization…
We passed it down to
Babies in many generations…..

But it doesn’t stop me thinkin
About whoopin
White folks ass, that’s totally different….

Beatings
With a belt, or a bench
Or a wire or anythin
To discipline a kid..
Correctin them to do
What i said without
Givin them a teachable moment….

Most people don’t like
Gentle parentin…
People rather pop their mouth
Or flick their hand
With all this stern
And yellin
And your baby is 2 years old….

How do you discipline
Your kids without
Hittin or Pat on their behind….

Black community
We adapt massas’ terrible habits
A long time ago unfortunately…
And we use Christianity as an abuse of power
To be honest
We’re actin slaveowners in our own households….
Now that’s somethin to think about…

We’re actin slaveowners
To our own babies…
It’s not a good thing…

So how do we fix that?
As black people?
