Are blk parents more strict, than white parents or any other race? Options

well lets see, when i do bad things, i get in BIG trouble! i mean big trouble! even if the things i do, aren't that bad. but for my punishment, when i was younger, i wouldn't get grounded. i would get spanked with a belt. i dont kno why, but it seems like blk parents are more strict than white parents. like my friend erin, who's white, tells her mom to 'shutup' and cusses at her. Man, if that was me who knows wut would happen to me like with me and my friends all are moms are the same. they punish us the hard way. but it just seems that when a white kid gets into trouble they get grounded, and thats it. then they get all upset. like "ahh man i cant hang wit my friends". but when a blk kid gets in trouble, like myself, are parents make sure we dont do whatever we did, again! but since im older now, i dont get spanked with a belt, i usually end up gettin hit really hard then grounded. i just think that some white kids get away with a lot of things, that a blk kid would never get away with.

i don't know...but i have a friend who's white and her parents beat her with a belt sometimes. but then again a lot of my black friends have strict parents like that. i've never been spanked in my life--only hit on the head a few times...

i don't understand why parents hit their kids...especially younger ones. they're just teaching their young kids that it's okay to hit someone. there are plenty of other ways to discipline your child besides hitting them. when you hit your kid you're intimidating them and making them scared of you...so basically they think that you're a monster and are scared out of doing whatever they did bad again. hitting your kids or even spanking them should be illegal.....

and it's not that white kids "get away with it"--it's that their parents choose to punish their kids differently. (i think it's the right way to punish a child by grounding them instead of beating the shit out of them) i don't know how a parent can sleep at night after hurting their kid. that's the last thing i would want to do to mine.
