wow like that isn't everyone else's reaction

it's not about what the kid wants. it's about what they need

kids need to be disciplined and for a lot of kids spanking works. you may choose not to spank your kid(s) but some of us will because it's been proven to work from personal experience.

And spanking isn't always necessary. Just taking the belt out and snapping it with a mean stare is enough sometimes

You being obtuse for no reason. Preaching is literally sharing a view in the turn of a sermon.

worse imo

What country is that?

most people itt bump violent rap music, rappers who slanged dope and sold crack to pregnant women and children, etc, but when news break out on social media they act SJW, PC Culture contradicts itself

Niggas just be saying s*** now so idk if she was abused or she got whooped and this is how she’s going about speaking on it. No matter what the situation was that’s on them to figure out.

No I'm adding to the commentary on child abuse. There's a book by a child abuse victim where his Mother called him "It" because he "didn't deserve a name". This was coupled with intense physical abuse - not to downplay the thread, but this was legitimate child abuse (burning his skin, keeping him locked in the basement without food, having him eat his own faeces)

If you are abusing your child on this level outside "reasonable punishment" then it's a legal problem and must be dealt with by law enforcement

But if you occasionally hit your child as a last resort, I'm going to leave that to the parent's discretion

I cannot make a blanket statement as to whether reasonable physical discipline is right or wrong - it's case by case

But as someone who was psychologically and physically abused, I walked off the latter, never the former

I'd agree

it’s not but okay.

Lmao dog some of ya'll in here calling this child abuse. They don't know what the term means

Occasionally spanking your kid isn't maltreatment

you really think Biggie, Pusha, Eazy E, Hov, Killer Mike, Freddie Gibbs, etc never sold crack to 12 year olds??

There's too much subjectivity in what a "beating" or "whipping" consist of. My mom "beat" me...yet here I am..emotionally mature..stable...with a Masters degree. I've also seen people say they got "beat" and their mom hit them with irons, remotes, and extension cords and left marks. My parents never left any marks and I was never disciplined because their problems were taken out on me. S***, I don't even believe corporal punishment is necessary.

This conversation requires nuance that KTT doesn't have the capability to engage in as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah there's so much here at play: one-parent household disciplining dynamic mainly

We've gone straight into whether physically disciplining your child constitutes as child abuse

people want to cancel Lauryn's music when she never rapped/sang about doing bad s***, meanwhile they listen to trap music and thug raps

What she described isn’t discipline

go watch the live

Nobody is cancelling her or her music because of this

As far as I can tell, she is a normal African American Mother and a product of her time

You know I’m throwing my Gucci chancla at my kids @Magician @Mictlan

yall can inform yourselves on the situation but instead choosing not to and then giving ur hottest takes on it

check twitter bro

I watched the live. Which part falls under the remit of mistreatment?

What the live doesn't include is context. Was this disproportionate? Did this happen randomly, without warning? Did it escalate beyond reason?

No Black person I know didn't get the belt or be told "fix your face". But they misbehaved a lot to get to that point (they never mention that part though)
