One thing that muddies this discussion's waters is that nobody will ever agree on what constitutes (reasonable) physical punishment. Some of the hardest defenders of it talk about smacks on the ass while others have in mind a couple of slaps, whippings with a belt, a punch in the face or a kick in the stomach.
Obviously slaps, punches and kicks fall into the abuse territory.
Unless it's something extreme like joining a gang or having guns or hard drugs.

Some kids need their ass whooped cuz talking just not gonna work
In hindsight spanking might not work either
What kids need is consistency of punishment with foot on neck simple as that whatever that consists of is up to that household
I spanked my kids when they were younger than stopped when I realized na this shyt ain’t effective but taking electronic and extra cleaning did more harm to them then me spanking
My youngest I don’t spank I may pop on butt one time at best or pull his damn ear

I'm old enough to remember my pops telling teachers to light my ass up if I misbehaved. He came from a different time and so did my teachers. Hitting kids is fukked up. Any adult is able to at worst restrain the kid until a situation passes. Back in my day, corporal punishment was handed out like candy. Walking around as a shorty you could catch a stray at any time or see another shorty get their dome smacked up by an aunt, uncle, teacher. Nobody said shyt about it. Just a bunch of adults whooping on kids instead of talking to them.

Young kids are habitual line-steppers. The main reason is they don't have the cognitive skills to understand the reasoning behind certain rules, or the reprocussions for breaking them. A spanking provides a concrete, well understood, deterrent against breaking certain rules. Young kids don't understand the ramifications of getting hit by a car due to running across the street, but they dont have to, because the fear of an ass whooping replaces that. The older the kid gets the less need for physical punishment, as they have more life experience and cognitive abilities to understand the reasoning and for rules and the ramifications for breaking them.

No, I have a 7-year-old and have not had to spank/beat or use any form of corporal punishment. Studies have shown doing so leads to further behavioral problems. There really is no justification for it. Black people need to let go of that slave bullshyt. Then we wonder why so many of us are violent and have no form of conflict resolution.

Proverbs 13:24

He who withholds the rod [of discipline] hates his son,
But he who loves him disciplines and trains him diligently and appropriately [with wisdom and love].

Proverbs 23:13-14
Do not withhold discipline from the child;
If you swat him with a reed-like rod [applied with godly wisdom], he will not die.

You shall swat him with the reed-like rod
And rescue his life from Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead).

Some need it, others don't IMO

What I've noticed with parents that the less you have to take away from the child as punishment, the more whoopings they tend to get. Well off kids usually just get grounded and get something taken away from them

Kids that dont receive physical punishment often think they can say what they want to whoever they want, in my experience. It's a double sided coin because some parents would see that as a good thing for their confidence and to speak their mind. Others would say its a negative thing.

If you have a very mild mannered child i dont think its necessary at all to physically punish them, but I rarely run into kids I consider mild mannered

FYI, all those studies used chimps.

There are several Black mass shooters (One of them shot up my hometowns municipal center.) but I’ma let you cook, bye. :pachaha:
We're not anywhere near as prone as them, that's my point. That's some "white boy shyt". I'm asking what the reason is in your opinion.


And I reiterate the irony of you condemning physical discipline but still out here calling people "nikkas" 🙃

Absolutely not. If I have kids, there will be NO beating/spanking/yelling. I was beaten viciously, as a child, and still flinch if I see a person motioning toward their waist/belt area. For my hypothetical children, we will sit, we will discuss why their behavior is inappropriate, we will sing hymns, we will meditate. The only thing violence teaches a person is how to be subservient. That's also why my hypothetical children won't be allowed to play sports. Sports instill aggression and violence into the young minds of the youth. We will paint, we will sing, we will take long peaceful walks. No sports. No yelling. No spanking. NO VIOLENCE!!!

When white folk stopped beating their kids, school shootings started happening.

The lack of respect for elders with this generation directly correlates to the shunning of spanking kids by society.

I'm sure some of the Coli sages can back me up on this.

I'm for it. In this life, somebody WILL or will TRY to put hands on you. It's best to learn that from parents as a correction for bad behavior.


I said this before on here but that's white kid's problem. Them weirdos grow up with no "spankings" and the minute they get to Jr High and someone pushes or punches them, their whole world shatters. They don't know how to process it so now they're ready to shoot up the whole school :camby:
And a lot of our kids have a disagreement, hear someone talking shyt about them, or get bumped into in the hallway, and are ready to throw hands.

We use violence as a result to our kids doing something wrong, and they go on to use violence as conflict resolution.
