I cannot believe that someone would take a great moment of that Mom berating her kid -- something that in the context of what was happening was great and necessary and to be applauded-- and use it to assail the mom's choices 18 years ago so as to reinforce your petty, racial stereotypes.
Truly the most pathetic thing I've seen here, ever. Just can't celebrate and congratulate her for doing the right thing now, can you? You just have to find a way to make it about another black woman having kids in other than Ozzie and Harriett circumstances. Jerk.
I have been watching CNN this morning, they are trying to stir up more shat.
They just did a piece titled "Is thug the new n word".
How many times have the usual racist suspects on here complained about poor black parenting as the root cause of everything negative about the black community?
Here a woman reels in her son and gets him out of the maelstrom and you can't appreciate that she's doing exactly what you have complained there isn't enough of -- discipline her son. Sorry it isn't going to bed early on pizza night. The woman is at least trying to do what she can in her circumstances to change the pattern.
Speaking as a father of 3, i CANNOT imagine trying to raise my brood without the cooperation of my dear, sweet wife. How single parents retain their sanity is beyond me.
