Many of us grew up with elders grabbing the belt when we did something wrong. It built discipline, right? But what if our parents were wrong? What if whooping our kids actually launches them further into the harms of the white supremacist society we think we're shielding them from? Join us on our Facebook live TODAY at 5 pm ET for a discussion with positive discipline and parent educators, Yolanda Williams and Domari Dickinson, where we will examine the history of Black culture and whoopings, the link between the past and future, and the concepts of "liberation, conscious, and decolonized" parenting as strategies to divest from antiBlack methodology when it comes to disciplining Black children. RSVP now at the link in our bio and head over to our guides to read more about the history of whooping in Black culture #PushBlack #BlackGenerationalTrauma https://www.instagram.com/p/CaaP2iyPlvx/?utm_medium=tumblr

Whooping our children has always been assumed to be part of Black culture. We do it because we love them – so we can ensure they learn to “act right.” But what if whoopings actually teach our children something completely different? –––– 🗓 Join us TOMORROW at 5 pm ET for a live discussion with positive discipline and parent educators, Yolanda Williams and Domari Dickinson, where we will examine the history of Black culture and whoopings, the link between the past and future when it comes to disciplining Black children, and the concepts of "liberation, conscious, and decolonized" parenting as strategies to spare our children the same fate.

“Cry nigger!” The white boys laughed, firing shots at him from a BB gun. They made him drink their urine, and beat him in his sleep.
