Hell, my mom is white and watches "Good Times" and she would always say, "Dynamite" when she used the switch on me. It only hurt my feeling but as i grew older, i knew that she still cared about me.
I had a sitter who was 4'11 if that, and that tiny woman still scares the shit out of me, I have a TON of respect for her, and she is TRUE old skool, no lip, no back talk, and she will lay it all on the line, and my folks gave her the authority to whip me, and I love her to death, like she is a second mother. She was my sitter from 10 months to 11 yrs old. Her kids, and grand kids all have turned out great. The generation before the baby boomers KNEW how to raise kids, and promote, love, respect, and guidance, that new lovely dovey, question authority, do what makes you feel good type of parenting does shit all for kids...just look at all the slackers, douchebags, dumbfucks, dizzy, spoiled broads on those judge shows.
