why are white parents afraid of their kids?

once i had my knuckles on my right hand burnt by my mother back when i was in Yemen for stealing (cant remember what)

Your parents really do seem quite barbaric and uncivilised.

i've never heard of white parents hitting their kids. other ethnicities such as blacks, asians - the parents kick the crap out of their kids if they wanted to. black comics such as David Chappelle, Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy have mentioned this in their routine. Why is this though? For example, if a child wanted to change religion, which is a big matter, white parents might not agree but at the end say "well, if it makes you happy", while other parents such as blacks, the child has to put up a pretty big fight. if white parents wanna hit their child, the child says something like "im gonna call the social sevices" or "im gonna run away", so the parents get scared and stop, while if the child says that to black or other ethnic parents, they reply "call them!" or "theres the door, gtfo!".

edit: when i was little, my mother used to hit me with the a big wooden spoon and also hangers, while my dad used the belt. however, when i said this to my white friend, he was like "WHAT! OMFG my parents wont dare to lay a finger on me".

I wonder if he'll do the same to his kids.

Haha, my mum's white and my dad's mixed race and I had the crap beaten out of me as a kid. I went to school with a hand-shaped bruise on my thigh once. My mum has a rare form of encephalitis for which she takes prednisolone - her temper is quite spectacular, I believe it's referred to as 'roid rage

nah lol, but seriously, that though me, i never stole ever again

Tbh - it just various from parents to parents . . .but the majority of Caucasian children are not disciplined enough IMO. Im not suggesting that parents should start whipping their children and etc, but when a child does wrong or behaves wrong and the parent(s) know this, they should discipline.

Another good example of this is swearing at parents - you think I could tell my mum and dad **** off and get away with it? . . .NOWAY! that is just soooo rude, but I have heard my Caucasian friends say it and their parents do bugger all!

I wouldnt say that it is a cultural thing, I would say it is more having love for your child!!! Hmm, you love your child very much but you beat it when it has done wrong???

You wouldnt even do that to a dog, never mind a human being.

Very true, i know someone who this has happened to. Ethnic parents also threaten to have their kids sent back to their native country - and i actually know someone who this happened to
