As long as you educate yourself on how to spot bias in writing and reporting, youβll never be conditioned. About 54% of U.S. adults read below a sixth-grade level (PIAAC study). Thatβs not shameβitβs reality. And itβs why truth is so easy to twist.
Letβs add some context and history to this topic
I think Joe Jackson is a model representation of how some black fathers disciplined their children in the black community.
ββββββββββββββββ
Topic: Black children and physical discipline across generations.
Intergenerational trauma and cultural transmission of survival behaviors.
ββββ
Silent Era - Joe Jackson was born 63 years after slavery
-this era used extremely strict physical discipline
ββββ
Baby Boomers - Michael Jackson 1958
-parenting disciplining styles often remained rooted in older, punitive systems.
ββββ
GenXβ-caught the end of this type of discipline.
- cultural shift toward questioning how to accurately discipline your child without physical punishment was beginning.
βββ
Millennial β-the focus change from heavy discipline and focused on black mental health
βββ
Generation Z β Gentle parenting
- discipline focuses more on consequences and rewards through communication.
βββ
Generation A βGentle parenting
- co -regulation is taught and not fear based.

Lastly, Iβm not making any excuses, but I want you to research that on your own so that you can understand.
What I understand is that your generation canβt imagine the type of discipline that we went through.
We were beat with tree switches, rubber shoes, extension cords, and leather belts. However, we are survivors and we need to unpack oral stories & physical abuse in African- American history.

@icespice Ice Spice β please get training on how to de-escalate. You couldβve been killed. I get the popping off verbally but people are unpredictable. Get your paper boo-boo, but be wise. Live a long life with wisdom. #Auntie#blackgirlmagic
@XBlackZeusX@BlkImmigrants@WithoutHistory@Tasetireloaded2 Iβm not clapping back at either side because I donβt want to go back-and-forth with people.
My clapping back looks a little different.
Thatβs why I shared the chart. Itβs not about calling anyone out; itβs about giving context.
Hi there, Iβve been enjoying reading this page. I come in peace but I see where youβre going, but there is a different genetic makeup of Africans that experience colonialism versus the transatlantic slave trade.
The transatlantic slave, trade and colonialism produced genetic diversity.
Chattel Slavery: widespread forced mixing and diaspora.
Transatlantic slave trade dropped Africans off in Mexico, Brazil,and other Latin countries
Colonialism often hierarchical with limited mixing, heavy indigenous populations remaining. The French = Haiti β-Britain = Jamaica 80 to 90% Genetically are almost 100% African
Africans dropped off in the Caribbean in general. The smaller islands genetically will have more European and a heavy influx of south Asian. British, French, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese genetics.
Scientifically, we all have African DNA and thereβs no differenc, but our genetic makeup could be different based on, colonialism, and the transatlantic slave trade.
I do agree that the black immigrant rhetoric needs to be toned down. Secondly, I do believe that there ARE some issues between immigrants, black immigrants, and black Americans.

American history is American history. Thereβs no eraser.
This is an old argument β-as it relates to African Americans history +American history.
We canβt be selective of what American history we choose to honor, and yet be dismissive of dark American history.
The victim finger pointing would be insulting or considered antisemitic to a person that experienced the holocaust or from a descendent of a holocaust survivor.
My father is a decorated veteran. Both Black - American men and women served in World War I +World War II and were not treated as respectable decorated veterans after the war.
Is that victim blaming or is that just facts?
Vote for who you want but do not be dismissive nor ERASE American history regardless if itβs the transatlantic slave trade, chattel slavery for 400+ years, the revolutionary war, emancipation proclamation, July 4th, voting rights, the trail of tears, womenβs rights, lgbtq rights. etc.
American history is American history.
Civil rights reform shouldnβt be selective
But the question remains: who gets prioritized?
When we talk about civil rights, family, grief, and reparations, I donβt just hear policyβI hear my motherβs trauma. Her son, my brother, Kenneth Anderson Jr., was killed on 10-10- 2021 by Texas sheriffsβnot ICE.
He was tased 12 + times within 7 minutes and denied EMS while handcuffed inside a squad car on a hot, humid summer night in Houston, Texas.
That level of force was ultimately justified, and our American family was left without accountability.
I support justice for immigrants who have been harmed in this country.
But we cannot expand justice for one group while leaving long-standing injustices unresolved for another.
Justice must be comprehensive.

@PatriotXV11@MeghanMcCain Incorrect β-dive deeper and fact check. Most political podcasts are paid pundits. And the memorial was politicized pageantry. It did not give her good look. This is wrong, but itβs all about public image.
We should respect officers of the law, but lack of respect does not excuse excessive force. A personβs trauma response, or mental illness may explain noncompliance, but it does not justify being dragged from a car by the neck over a traffic ticket nor being thrown on the ground.ββββββββββββββββDe-escalation training should be mandatory because officers routinely interact with people in distress, and not everyone will comply in a calm or orderly way.
@Georgesantos@TaraBull SHE is serious, because what we fail to fully acknowledge is that financial illiteracy has reached epidemic proportions in the US. Americans are conditioned into consumer behavior β work, eat out, home, and REPEAT the cycle through takeout or food delivery.
It is a rat race.
@TaraBull 1. This is how most Americans live. 2. Γ roommate thatβs not a psycho would be extremely helpful. Look for nurses or college students. No males. 3. Time management/schedule a to-do list 20 minutes a day. 4. Saturday rest get up at 12. Sunday is a free day.
