This^...here in lies the struggle ...convincing someone that their morals and values will screw up their kids is often landed on deaf ears...those parents believe that what they are doing is fine...
Being a parent is not easy. It is a lot of work. More work than marriage alone. It doesn't come with a whole lot of instruction. But the memories of how the parents of the parents who raised them is the only reference they can fall back on. The good, the bad and the ugly. But it is up to the parent to use discretion in how they raise a child.
Yes, but. . . karma is a bitch. He's a grown man teaching hate to his children, and he can deal with the consequences when others won't put up with his actions or the consequences thereof. That's life. Sometimes one just might get what he deserves for being a douche.
I've been called that before. It certainly takes a person of a certain mind frame to call someone that... I'm surprised that he's only been fired thus far as an outside consequence. And I bet he's pissed and feels like a total victim about that too.
When I was a kid about 9 or so, we moved to a mostly white area. My father told me in no uncertain terms that if a white boy called me nigger I was to hit him. And, if I got suspended from school for it he wouldn't have a problem either it as long as I didn't start the fight. Too bad we can't do that today without getting kicked out of school for good. That would solve all that relatively quickly. But, times change.
Well we're suppose to be good little negroes and turn the other cheek. We aren't suppose to demand respect and dignity. Shit is bubbling.
I've been called that as well...more than once...twice...I stopped counting...people that use the word in any context are ignorant...you can't teach them lessons ...they are who they are...as unfortunate as that is...there has to be a desire to open your mind and see beyond what you think is right
He may not realize in his own twisted life that what he is passing on is hate...he is teaching what he knows...we don't like them any more than they like us...
No, it was a different time. You didn't get kicked out of school permanently for something like that. 3 day suspension max. Plus, that was about the only time I was allowed to get kicked out of school for fighting. The only other excusable offence was someone putting their hands on me. I was raised that people can say what they want and I'd better not hit someone over words. If I did, when I got home he was going to hit me ... hard. But, if someone hit me first then I should defend myself and not worry about getting into trouble at home. I was the kid everyone picked on and my father knew that I had to learn to deal with bullies because a kid like me was always going to have them. He was right. I hated fighting but kids left me alone when they saw I was going to fight back.
So true. All I can do is try to avoid doing what was done to me. That's not easy though, because habit and experience are hard to get past.
I disagree. For some reason, people want to believe that no consequence should be put on utter stupidity like this, especially when, knowing that this is the digital age and we're virtually likely to become an internet "star" by accidental means, people can record and plaster this all over the internet. I do agree, however, that people ought to not glorify certain words, regardless of contextual definition. But, you still have control of your actions and should know better than to exercise maliciousness. Unless the father, let alone the rest of the family, have a neurological problem or lesions within the cerebellum, it's no excuse for such actions. Being ostracized and put in check would make this person suffer more, but would make him think twice before saying something like that again.
