'Dirty Girls'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My family must not know they're white.
I wouldn't make any assumptions that the set of people that beat kids has no white people in it (from eye witnessing), but rather that the set of people that decries beating kids has few black people in it.
One of my krav instructors chewed gum through the entire class on Saturday. It was weird, because it made her seem so much more badassed. All "Walk and chew gum? What about KICK YOUR ASS and chew gum?"

but rather that the set of people that decries beating kids has few black people in it.Even then. I know plenty of white people who are exactly sure that's what is wrong with these kids today--nobody's spanking them.
Hec, how about now?
Fuck, this is bad. Not quite the end of the day Monday and I'm already just a hair away from homicidal workplace road rage. I'd like a do-over on the last dozen years of career choices, please.
Heh. My family must not know they're white.
Neither does mine. But I think being part-Irish at least used to be an excuse.

I'm quite specifically not saying anything about them. Merely, and without implication in other arenas, that you're unlikely to hear black women complaining about corporally punishing kids. The two sets are unrelated.
Manolo says, I am the Prince. You must bow in the presence of my funkaliciousness.

Of course, the real time to worry is when she runs out.

"That was my Nicorette, bitch. Now I'm really going to have to hurt you."
The Motorcycle Diaries songwriter genuflecting before Prince was just about my very favorite moment of the entire evening. I made Hec rewind the TiVo five or six times for that one.

Yes. This. It's not about who is complaining that there isn't enough corporal punishment.
ita, read this today and laughed because I thought of you:
Katchoo says the way to a man's heart is through the 4th and 5th ribs.
I'm quite specifically not saying anything about them. Merely, and without implication in other arenas, that you're unlikely to hear black women complaining about corporally punishing kids. The two sets are unrelated.Yes, I read that as implicit from your original exchange with Kat. But it tickled me personally, because I remember the delight in my mother's face, when she related the story (and I remember years of spankings and stories about my Nana spanking her kids, etc., etc., etc.). Along with not generally hearing black women complaining about corporeal punishment, I am unlikely to hear people in my family ever complaining about it. I wasn't trying to make a thing, and didn't think you were, either. I was just tickled by it.
