Why Are White People More Likely To Be Morons With Out-of-Control Kids??

Question

If you ever watch Super Nanny or Nanny 911, it's always white people who have kids that are out of control.

In fact, it's usually white people in upper middle class neighborhoods.

It seems that for all their college educations, they lack in the common sense department.

Their kids curse at them, throw things, hit them, don't listen....all kinds of crazy things.

And all the parents seem to do is say, Please Billy, stop it. Would you please stop....

What is so difficult about having common sense?? It seems that any idiot can go get a college degree, but common sense doesn't seem to be all that common.

Why do so many white parents lack it?


PS - And I know people will say that blacks or hispanics have bad kids too, and that their kids commit more crimes etc.

Yes, a few blacks or hispanics also have very bad kids, but not as bad as white kids. A black or hispanic kid will never say "I hate you" and hit at it's mother. Nooooooo

Oh, and the crime thing has something to do with

culture, not parenting.

A black or hispanic youth may get in trouble for doing something illegal, like selling drugs etc. But that same kid will love and respect his mother over all. He just doesn't respect the system, but nobody can touch his mother.

White kids go kill their mother. Big difference.

Answer 1

Okay, I'm not gonna judge you, but you sound really racist, so prepare for some serious flaming.

As far as white parents raising disrespectful children I think it has to do with culture. Black and Hispanic families value and respect their mothers because they'll get an a$$ whoopin if they don't. Upper middle class white people tend to believe in passive parenting. "Oh Billy, you shouldn't do that, no no." I'm not like that and I'm a middle class white parent. To quote Bernie Mac - "I'll kick a kid's a$$." LOL

Answer 2

You bring up some interesting points. I want to give you my perspective on this from a teacher's viewpoint.

For a couple years, I taught in a primarily hispanic school in my area. The students were generally well-behaved (with a few exceptions, of course), and they were very respectful of the adults in the building. The building was full of parents, most of the time. The hispanic mothers were constantly offering to help in the parent resource room or bring things for the classrooms. They were very involved -- even when money wasn't available. If a child got in trouble in school, the parents would bring the child to school to apologize to the teachers. They demanded the respect of their children, and they demanded that their children respect of teachers and authority figures.

Last year, I taught in a school that was about 95% African-American. The children were sometimes very disrespectful and hard to manage in the presence of the white teachers. But if an African-American teacher came into the room and gave them a certain look, the room would suddenly get quiet and they would get busy. As hard as I tried to achieve that "look," I couldn't do it. One of the other teachers described it this way, "These kids know better than to ever mess with a black woman..." They are taught early on at home that theirs mothers and grandmothers are the authorities, and they know better than to cross them.

Now, to the current situation with the white families... I think a lot of it is that the white culture has become so "politically correct" that we have forgotten how to have a spine, even in parenting. We have been so brainwashed to believe that we should never hurt or scar our children emotionally, that we forget basic parenting skills. We are too soft. Somewhere down the line, we thought we needed to become our kids' friends, instead of their parents.

People like the Super Nanny and the Nanny 911 ladies are here because ALL parents need to be reminded that we are the authorities in our childrens' lives. Kids need to know that we love and believe in them, but they also need to know where the boundaries are, and what the consequences are for crossing those boundaries.

Answer 3

I disagree with you to some extent.You are right that it is not a race thing but more cultural.But I believe that when it comes to shows like the one mentioned it is the commitment to finances and keeping up appearances that take some parents attention,and time away from their children.Some people are so into their work and standard of living that they forget that their family,and children need to be committed to as well.The thing is this: When our children grow up,they won't care that they grew up in a big,fancy house and has fancy cars.They will remember that Mom or dad was always working with little or no time for them,and that will affect them and cause some irreparable damage.If you talk to parents of adult children that put their work before their families,I can guarantee that they would say if they had to do it over again,they would have spent more time with their families,because in the end they are really all that matters.

Answer 4

I don't think it's a matter of race. I do however think it is a cultural thing. The values I will raise my children up with are totally different then the values someone in the average "Caucasian" home would. I am also Hispanic--at heart. I've lived around Mexicans more then white people my whole life, my husband is Mexican. I think in the Hispanic culture respect is a big issue. As for stereotyping all white children--I've seen African American kids hit their mothers, white kids hit their mothers, and Hispanic kids hit their mothers. You need to open up your eyes...it's not just white kids. It's every kid. It's not culture--it's society as a whole. Good Points--but I think they are a little off.

Answer 5

Because black and hispanic parents don't tolerate any disrespect from their kids and tend to raise their kids in more traditional fashions and no from what Dr.Whoever published in a book from last weeks research on paretning during the hunting and gathering era.

You are very right. The crime issues are societal issues. I too, have seen "gangsta" young boys act like complete hooligans, selling dope and the whole 9. However, they don't talk back to their mamma, they say yes ma'am, and they'd probably rather get shot than hit their mothers.

I am having an ongoing issue with this lady next door to me that allows her kids to run into my home and never disciplines him about it. She laughs about it. Like it's funny her 3 year old child is running in the street, and breaking into my home, taking things out my son's bedroom and everything. Yeah, he gets the "Timmy no. Stop it" thing too. It doesn't work.

He tells her to go to hell. Calls her MF's and bitches. He throws MY things at her when she comes for him, and pitches a lilly when she drags him out.

I have never seen a non-mentally challenged black, asian, or hispanic child EVER act that way. EVER.

That said, expect to get roasted up here. No one likes to hear a bitter, overall truth like this one. I will enjoy reading your answers.

Answer 6

It's not racist.
It's his/her? own observation.
He/she/they aren't saying that one race is better or more superior than the other, they're just typing what they've seen.
Just because they're talking about different races doesn't mean they're racist, so many people don't understand that today, they assume that anything written or said about a race that's slightly negative is racist.
It's not.
Get over it.


As for answering your question:
From what I've seen, black/hispanics are more firm/strict, serious, and also religious. They're not stuck up, and they're not insecure, although a lot of Hispanic people I know are quiet.....but not insecure. They also have strong family values.
That's just from what I've seen.

Answer 7

All those white people on Nanny 911 have nice houses, did you notice? I think they have to somehow qualify for the show. They always show families in nice big houses with big nice jobs and in a real nice neighborhood. They never show people in a trailer park. Don't judge white people by that show. I bet a lot of it is rehearsed anyway.

Answer 8

it has nothing to do with race. any child who is not disciplined is going to act out. you say that the crime rate has nothing to do with it but i disagree, if a parent teaches their child right from wrong then that child will know that breaking the law is wrong. as for us white parents who you say don't discipline their kids in public all i can say to that is we are afraid that they will be taken away from us and that is the last thing that we want. we wait until we get home and then the kids get disciplined

Answer 9

You obviously have never actually seen a lot of minority children. They are just as bad. Children in general are pretty bad these days because parents these days are either wimps and have this silly notion that they are supposed to be their child's friend (white mostly) or the children are just ignored/neglected and left to their own deviced (poor of all races).

Answer 10

I guess i'm the exception! My kids get very rigid discipline! You should'nt be so prejudiced! You can't say every white person allows their kids to dominate them! It simply is'nt true! That would be like me saying, all black guys look alike!! Now, is that fair?
