Either way, the Adrian Peterson case was child abuse. You do not beat a four year old child like that (period). You Negros that advocate such violence toward black toddlers are no different that slave masters who only believed in beating blacks because they were too dumb to be reasoned with and were not as valuable to God as white children to say that it is sinful to beat children in such an abusive manner.

Terrance’s comment must’ve struck a nerve. You lowered yourself by referring to him disrespectfully when he simply stated his opinion about your article. Could be you got one too many beatings.

I feel you Brother Terry and I’m not saying you shouldn’t discipline your children, I’m simply saying there are other ways like punishment, after they reach the age of knowing right from wrong. It’s mental and the mental always last longer in your mind than the physical. As far as slavery, my point was the way we treat one another, even to this day is a result of the psychological effects of slavery.

I’m not talking just about beatings, although they were part of this. Please don’t misunderstand me. Beatings have been going on ever since their were children, but the severity and age is what I’m talking about. Do you continue to beat them until they become adults and beat them harder because they haven’t learned? When do you stop, when they become adults or do you keep beating them?

I’ll end by saying this, if you continue to do one thing because you believe it works, how will you know that you could have done it another way that works even better? I believe this is one of the biggest dilemmas in our community, based on what I said earlier. Which is one of the reasons we spend a trillion dollars in every community but our own.
