Do you think white parents and black parents raise their kids differently? This is meant to be and intelligent speculation of thoughts and ideas, so only respond if you have something nice to contriubute.

Some people make the argument that black parents are a lot more strict with their kids, and white parents a lot more leniant. If that's the case, why are there so many black "gangstas" in jail, and mini britney spears running around?

I'm half black, half "other" I guess you could say. my dad is mixed, puerto rican and irish. Out of my parents my dad is the more leniant one, although that doesn't mean I don't get in trouble. My dad tries to understand me better, although if I mess up he's not afraid to punish me. My mom is from africa- she's nigerian and shes the reason as to why I'm always grounded, lololol.

discuss, I'm curious as to what other people think

Yes, because about 70% of black kids are raised without fathers.

I think african people are more protective of their children because of the children that are so often dying in africa.
White parents don't understnad that emotion fully so they're more lenient?

I think they are raised differently.  It's not necessarily a bad thing, but I think they are.  

One of my black friends has like 15 half siblings...his daddy got around.  My dad has a bunch of kids too, I don't actually know how many...

black kids r usually raised by just there mothers who probably try to be strict but since daddies in jail it doesn't work so well. white kids are more likely to have both parents but both parents are at work. so it equals out to about the same

Perhaps, I don't think that's always the case. In my opinion, I think that black families often raise their kids to have more respect for the parents and family. I think strictness is really varied with each parent.

Just the general atmosphere, the values, morals etc.  I can't put a finger on it.

Nor do most black people living in America.


Wasn't using that example of black people.

I see you noticed?

No, its to do with their culture I think, it just so happens that different races do quite often belong to different cultures and subcultures.
