I understand this is an extreme case but how often does this type of upbringing and teaching happen?
Does this happen in the inner city of DC? http://gawker.com/police-union-uses-video-of-black-toddler-to-attack-the-1495788323 http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/07/us/nebraska-swearing-toddler/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 |

Yes, it happens in inner city of DC.
I think it's ridiculous to say it's "racist". |
| how is it racist? just shows how screwed up a large part of our society is, and how the cycle perpetuates itself. |
| Omg. That is so awful and disturbing. How sad for that little boy. |

| Your title makes no sense to me. |
| It is beyond my understanding that this kind of crap is not considered abuse. I'm disgusted. I work hard to make sure my children are articulate, respectful, educated, productive, etc. It sickens me these types of idiots have become the face of black America. |
| This way of raising children, by teaching and modeling offensive communication, has nothing to do with race. Happens all too often, more subtly perhaps but just as harmful to a child's integrity. ("You're a liar! What a brat! Wittle baby needs a bottle? Get away from me! You're askin' for it! Get over here! I'll teach you not to sass me! etc. etc.) |

You are disgusting if you think this is the face of black america. This truly says more about you than anyone else. |
I am sure you are just so familiar with "inner city DC"
No this is not normal behavior and most black families in DC do not interact with their children this way. |
| Don't judge! |
You are sadly mistaken if you don't realize that this is how many other races view us. The majority of this forum alone imagines that we all raise our children this way and believe that FARMS are all black, dumb, and misbehaved. |
That chip is so big, you're going to fall over. Who gives two chits how other races view "us"? I don't give a damn how ANYONE views my beautiful Black family. Make all of the assumptions about us that you want; we will be calm and carry on succeeding all over this world. Your view just reveals a deep insecurity in YOU. I'd bet dollars to donuts that you super over enunciate, have your children in all sorts of "white" approved activities and put down every Black person that hasn't risen to your level every chance you get. You my friend are the worst of the worst; not the people in the article. You know better. They don't.

agree with PP. This is the image that sticks, and unfortunately, given the statistics on crime rates, there is always some painful truths in every stereotype. question is how do we stop the cycle? |
