Only twice? Flipping hell.

The usual order’s twice a week.

You do an awful lot of stereotyping black people Redway

That’s because I’m not white British myself. I might not have said it out-and-out but I’ve hinted at it for a long time.

It doesn't matter, you can't just basically say all black parents hit their kids or black people are homophobic, it's a ridiculous generalisation

It’s not a ridiculous generalisation though. It’s a non-PC truth. I’m allowed to say that.

It’s not something that’s even that deep a thing in our culture. It’s just a trend in black parents. It might not sound nice and super-duper PC but we don’t make it a big deal in our culture. It only shocks people who assume we all have the same culture and attitudes to things. Shock alert we don’t. We really don’t.

Armand just contradicted that though, he said his parent's hardly ever hit him and tbh more white people in this thread said they were hit as kids but you just happened to ask the one black guy who commented (like you didn't already know he was black)

Black mums as a rule hit their kids. There’s always exceptions but as a rule. It’s deeply rooted in culture.

Armand’s the only black guy on this thread anyway that I know of so that doesn’t count.

I don’t think people understand the differences in our cultures. Black parents don’t do naughty step.

Redway is probably talking from his own experience .

But yeah every family is different and from different cultures , some are very strict when it comes to disciplining their kids and others are more laid back .

And then you get total idiots who spoil their kids constantly and never punish them .

West African/Indian and white British culture aren’t comparable in a lot of areas. Not least when it comes to raising kids.

That might sound funny but I just think it’s about time people of colour started calling certain things for what they are even if it doesn’t sound mega-PC. Different cultures and that.

Baffling stuff.

Please explain further.
