Never did homework
imgursresidentasshole
that sounds healthy
washyourassdaily
I got an A though lol
CaramelRhapsody
As a black person I just have this to say.....NO!
zma123456
This may sound racist, and it may be but I've seen more black parents act abusive toward their kids then others.
zma123456
I think the black community needs awareness on how to raise kids properly. Yelling and shouting excessively at kids is wrong.
ZombieHugsAreBestHugs
The times table still makes me ball up in a corner. THANKS, DAD.
glitterwank
I'm from the UK but Indian my dad did the same thing. I became amazing at maths out of fear.
zma123456
But you can also get a child to be excellent at math by using techniques that are less abusive.
glitterwank
Techniques which my dad also employed. Like I said, it's all about a balance. I am now doing my A level maths. Looking at a top grade.

Filipino parents too

At least she cares enough to want to help via by a bad method but at least she cares.

Funny shit

Can confirm as my wife is white

I mean black. I'm white

Indians too :(
ThatGuyWhoJustCommentsAndGetsPointsFromIt
Yes when your mom takes off her sandal you know shit is about to go down

Or the coat hanger
ImOutOfSpace
Why the fuck do people hit their children? Is it legal in the us? Like wtf?
zma123456
No its not legal, but humans think hitting, and yelling at kids is okay. This is why most of the world is fucked up.
cadburybriefcase
This speaks to me on another level
DropDeadFread
Fake News. Adrien Peterson proves black people use Switches.
25schmeckles
I hate it when people talk about getting hit by their parents was some kind of rite of passage, my parents never hit me and I respect them.
iwanttomountndewya
My dad just yelled at me a lot.
Mylovelyladylumps
I laughed so dang hard at this!! This is too true!
FelixTheAnimator
'Scuse me I need my anxiety med now.
NukeMuffin
My mom never got physical. Just left some nasty emotional scars. It's like she knew from an early age that I would hate dissapointing people
Iwillhaveoneofeverything
My parents used psychological manipulation too. It's sometimes harder to heal the emotional scars.
Cheomesh
My parents did not even pretend to help at all.
MyFrontPorchInMississippi
That's what bad parents do not black parents.
glitterwank
My dad did the same thing. I became excellent at maths out of fear. Helped me out a lot. I'm very grateful for what he did.
ImOutOfSpace
You know that that is possible through positive encouragement, right? http://cdn.zenpencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2014-10-24-kevinsmith.jpg
glitterwank
Yes, he did plenty of that, too. And has supported me through my every venture.
ImOutOfSpace
This post really reminds me of that recent daddyoffive scandal !!! Why the fuck do people mistreat their kids like this
sixsexsix
This actually is not funny, it's sad.
PresidentSanders
It's pretty funny.
ImOutOfSpace
I honestly don't get it.. it's horrible abuse of children, apparently on a national scale.
PresidentSanders
yeah, it's funny because it's so relatable
BoozeHound001
the humor comes from experience.
clemkadittlehoper24
Black, white, brown, red any parent that would do that is a horrible parent. My Daughters boyfriend's Mom would hit him on top his head
glitterwank
My dad did this to me and it helped me out a lot. I'm grateful for it. Taught me to work well under pressure. Use my head more. Out of fear.
CrankyLittleStormCloud
I wonder how much better you could think/work if you didn't require the pressure of looming anxiety to function and weren't afraid?
glitterwank
This was years ago, man. I'm self motivated now. And back then it was the only thing that got me to work, I was a lazy prick lol.
NotTodayNotYesterday
You're not everyone.
glitterwank
I'm not exactly fucking special am I?
Batonrougeisnotsobad
That's exactly what I do as a white mom. I don't threaten belts, but my lectures are just as painful.
CrankyLittleStormCloud
Sincere question: how is that helpful?
Batonrougeisnotsobad
It's not. I recognize the behavior, it's learned and I try NOT to do it. But on a disciplinary scale, I'm a talker, not a swatter.
Batonrougeisnotsobad
And I have to add this...when your 100% capable 9 year old acts like she doesn't know what 2+2 is, it's time for her to quit playin'.
improbablypooping
Black parent. Not parents.
L4dead2
Unless she's married to a white guy like me
Vaporliquideq
Snap. Sadly becoming more true
TooOldForThisShit86
Not true. http://m.dailykos.com/story/2015/5/13/1383179/-The-absent-black-father-myth-debunked-by-CDC
Vaporliquideq
That source discusses activities father's participate in when living or not living with children....not how many fathers are around....
BoozeHound001
The comments really showed me something. All parents just got louder, sure we got hit with different things, jumper cables, belts, chancla
Iwillhaveoneofeverything
I have known brown parents to use a long stick. Luckily my parents did skip that part. Unluckily they used psychological warfare.
BoozeHound001
Ahh the yardstick, a signature weapon of the nun.
BoozeHound001
It's an experience we've all shared regardless of race. This is what MLK was dreaming about. Parents beating their kids over math problems
Snoxii
That's when Mexican parents grab the chancla and slap you with it until you get it right. I'm talking from experience :(

The worst part is they always have a spare....

Oh I said it wrong! Sorry. Quieres pow pow? Look I don't speak Spanish but I tried to make everyone laugh.
senorsamuel
Chicago here and they do it as well. It's so terrifying to here the word pow pow. I'm 21 now and my little nephew is 2 and he fears it!
Mylovelyladylumps
I'm from San Diego, I've heard it :)

White parents do it too, they just use jumper cables.

Sick reference, bro...
jmulderr
What kinda hoity-toity parents did you have that didn't hold their pants up with jumper cables?
Ulthirm
they really just use their hands... the scarier moms use their claws.
Ulthirm
wait wait where did claws come from? sorry nails...

My mom used a wooden spoon

What about wire coat hangers?!

SlightlyAngryAtAllTimes
My dad used to spank me with a piece of Romex wire insulation, so not too far off
cardiomatters
Statistically, you must belong to middle class family, and your dad has university degree. Is it right?
SlightlyAngryAtAllTimes
Must've had a degree of some kind because he was an officer in the Navy
cardiomatters
Yep. I was very surprised to learn that ppl with higher education and social status tend to use physical punishment more often.
Juicytoast
I still don't get this reference.

Basically, this guy on reddit answered these questions and always put something in about being beaten with jumper cables

Go get me my jumper cables and I'll help you get it!
LuncheonsAndDragons
Guy on reddit will, on any given thread, share what at first appears to be a relevant story, then casually mention his dad beating him with^
Tehsyr
Sadly, he hasn't been on in years. I remember the first time I said out loud "Dammit, its the jumper cables guy!"
HowWouldIGoAboutShootingWebs
his dad finally went too far
