Now that I'm older, that whole "stay in a child's place" BS my parents used to pull is dumb

[K.Dot]

Being told stuff is grown folk business at 17 i can see not letting you're kids disrespect you like cacs do but i was telling straight facts i remember tellling my uncle at 17 black people need to use the power of the dollar and not just buy from any company he just shook his head and said you think you have it figured out little man and laughed. Bet you he didn't even listen to what i said. I was trying to tell him facts but he still want to go to Walmart

Exactly, my dad gave me the bill Clinton was the first black president and he was good BS and whenever I asked him to prove it, he'd just go ask other people that are dumbasses like him. Or how he thinks that this generation I'd more violent when stats say otherwise. Legit cut that nikka off because of that.

To an extent I agree but I didn't ask to be here and if you want respect (and no, not falling in line because your very survival is dependent on this person) has to be earned IMO. As far back as 6 years old is when I started holding people in a certain regard because of their accomplishments, morals, character ECT.

I did a podcast talking about this. Like back in the day, it was easier to respect elders IMO because people had more boundaries. It's hard these days to tell someone to off GP to respect elders when you have some that are just ignorant and act a complete ass.

Like you said as early as 6 having regard for people and sizing them up, most people know who should get respect as an elder and who shouldn't. I would teach a child to off GP respect but then once someone shows who they are act accordingly

I feel like kids have a place but I am also big on listening to them too. Kids are still people and most of the time more perceptive and thoughtful than a lot of adults.

I wonder if it stems from slavery. Real talk. Black people wanting some sort of power/authority and going overboard. I know in general we don't look out for our kids the way other races do. Part of is fetti of course but sometimes it seem like my mama didn't want me to succeed.

And for the record, yes, my parents are still married

High-key this is what I think it is, Blacks wanting to flex on somebody.

"You think you know everything", NO I fukkING DON'T

Every freakin time when my dad would get mad at me when checking my HW never failed he would say this & I'm a bump up on a log before he would sometimes walk out on me being so frustrated.

I'm not ready to put that out on the coli yet.

i dont think this a black thing i think its just a shytty parent thing to do when you know you dont have an answer for your kids or they know better than you

i hope would i never stifle the learning and questioning of the world in my kids. teachers used to get so annoyed with me asking "why blah blah?" as a kid they gave me a "why?" award.

i took it as a compliment

 

[JahFocus CS]

shyt older people say to cover up their ignorance, lack of patience, and wrongheadedness

 

[K.Dot]

This shyt really had a negative effect on my psyche. A child not being to express his/her self is one of the worst experiences ever, turned me into a robot when I'm not around my close friends

Either you don't respect your children like blacks or let them run over you like CACS, there has got to be some kind of balance.
