What makes you think only white people don't beat their kids? Racist.

Oppressive yes, but I'd say more that it's nearly impossible for someone from another culture to tell someone that what they're doing might not be the best way to do things. Especially when there is a history of power disparity, because there is simply no way to divorce the "mansplaining" from that power disparity.

What if the village is full of *******s and the two parents are the only good people there?

Edit: What if you lived somewhere where the public schools refused to teach evolution and they only taught creationism and they segregated class rooms by race and they wouldn't allow black people to go with white people to the prom?

Yeah no that's really the point. You're telling parents how to raise their children. You don't think they take that personally? You don't think they see that as some yuppie white prick walking into their home and disparaging their way of life? You think that you can talk about this in an intellectual way and the people who you are talking about will take it in an entirely intellectual way and not see it as an attack on their basic core values that they never saw anything wrong with?

That's some arrogant **** no? I was on some arrogant **** when I wasn't thinking about it in those terms all of an hour ago tbh. I feel like I was and probably still am imperialist swine for being so flippant, even though I still believe in the things I was criticizing those people for. I mean hitting your kids sucks ass, but plenty of people don't see it that way and hit their kids believing it to be perfectly fine and even the moral way to raise children. You think they won't get pissed when you tell them that they're guilty of child abuse?

they can have a right to raise them as they please but the public (the state) has an interest in their upbringing as a citizen with rights as well

I’ve seen you champion the state before but you are on a tear today.

Does a pregnant woman own her fetus?

You sound like Goofle. You're not addressing the world you're dealing with you're dealing with political doctrine in a vacuum. Large amounts of the human population think that corporal punishment is not only productive but desirable and moral. Do you think that telling them that their entire parenting culture is wrong is productive? Do you think that they will listen to you and appreciate you telling them that it is immoral in the way that they have raised the human beings in which they have dedicated their lives to the betterment of and who are the personification of their ability to love?

We've had such a strong cultural shift against racism with in the past 100 years what makes you think a strong cultural shift against hitting kids wouldn't work?

OMG I hope it will. I just think self-righteous attitudes like elphenor's are absolutely not the way to go. Those who consider it acceptable to hit their kids basically have to be convinced that those who don't are raising children who are at least of as much worth as their own. In my experience they do not believe that is true, but the tide will not be turned by elitists like elph.

it certainly has no place in public school though

So you're a worthless white kid just like me. Please calm your rhetoric and start taking in other view points. Hopefully it will make you less embarassing.
