Why do white people let their children use profanity toward them? When I say children, I mean between the ages of 5 to adulthood. I can't for the life of me understand why you let them do this to you. Do you not think it's disrespectful? Or do you think it's just a way of expression?

Words only have as much importance and meaning as you lend to them; 'non-profane' words can be backed by as much or more venom and/or disrespect as those that are currently considered profane.

Name : Jessica, Gender : F, Sexual Orientation : Bisexual, Race : White/Caucasian, Religion : Agnostic, Age : 23, City : Huntsville, State : TX Country : United States, Occupation : Student, Education level : 4 Years of College, Social class : Middle class, I don't think children should use profanity. I am in a long term relationship with a 7 year old step son and 1 on the way. I would never allow my son to use profanity in my presence as a child. I wasn't allowed to use ANY swear words until I was 16. My boyfriend says that when my stepson is around 12, he'd be okay with it. I think it all depends on how we're raised.

Name : catherine, Gender : F, Sexual Orientation : Straight, Race : White/Caucasian, City : vancouver, State : NA Country : Canada, Occupation : student, Social class : Middle class, I am a white child as you would say, 15, and my parents will never let me use profanity in front of them, nor away from them. I know a lot of white kids use profanity in front of there parents, this is probably partly because they were brought up wrong or there parents have no control over them. I beleive that kids of either race or background should not use profanity towards there parents.

Name : Brian, City : Cincinnati, State : OH Country : United States, Most white parents don't let their children/teens use profanity. I personally never use profane language toward either of my parents. Most other white children/teens I know don't either. The only white children/teens that I know that use profane language toward their parents are the children/teens whose parents do not discipline them. These are also the children/teens that are the 'trouble-makers' and 'wild' children/teens at school and in the community. Their parents either don't care what they do or just don't believe in discipline.

Not all 'white people' allow their children to do these things. If I were to use profanity in front of my mother,grandmother,aunt ucle,even my cousin I would be in so much trouble I can't even begin to describe. I have many white friends who are in the same position I am.

Thats not the issue. I know of respectable whites that if they ever heard their kids cus, they would smack their face off. I have heard in my time of black families letting the children swear at them. Its not a white or black--It how one rasies their children to be respectable or rude. It the parents that are raising their kids to be disrespectful, not race.

Name : J21160, City : kings mnt, State : NC Country : United States, I come from an american family, raised by 2 white parents. White people (as well as black, yellow, whatever...) I don't think 'let' their children use profanity towards them. I honestly believe this topic is not based on race, but they way you're raised. I did use profanity around my parents b/c it wasnt a big issue in my home, but I have many white friends who would be slapped if they ever used a bad word. So, I think it has nothing to do with race, but with the way you're brought up...black, white, red, yellow, doesnt matter.

I have known many children of different racial backgrounds that use profanity toward their parents. It is a parental choice and nothing more

Name : Chris, Gender : M, Sexual Orientation : Straight, Race : White/Caucasian, Religion : Presbyterian, Age : 18, City : Milwaukee, State : WI Country : United States, Occupation : student, Education level : High School Diploma, Social class : Upper middle class, I think this is a blanket stereotype of most black people, the belief that white people let there children cuss at them. I know in the area I grew up in that didnt fly and if you want to be beat by a military man just cuss at my dad. Or if you like having kitchen utensils including meat cleavers broken over your butt cuss at my mom. I think that there is a new generation of parent black and white that are the product of 'babies having babies' and of 'self absorbed people' having children. Its time for us as a nation to realize that we need to keep it in out pants (males) and our legs closed(females) and that having children isnt a status symbol like owning your BMW its a committment to further our race. Parents used to understand the importance of making sure their children have it better than them. Now they have their children so they can look better to others. Its terrible.

I think it has to do with parents not being around. It seems to me that parents try to make up for the fact they are not home by letting thier children misbehave. I see it in all races in the USA. So I believe it is more of a cultural issue and not a race issue.

I can't stand hearing my stepdaughter saying the word sexy (her stupid grandmother lets her say that word) so I definitely don't want her saying that other junk. Sure she may hear me and her Dad say those words but in my house she knows that those words are only to be spoken by adults and not to be repeated.
