Look, while farting is natural, most farts are not accidents but intentional releases of gas. Except in extreme cases, farting requires effort, just like taking a crap does, and is often a prelude to such. My father certainly knew that and taught my other four siblings and I that farting in our small house, especially when others were likely to smell it, reflected indifference to others and was offensive because all farts stink. He would force anyone of us accused of farting in the house to go outside (to the outhouse), ‘before you mess on yourself,’ regardless of the hour or weather conditions. This cured us all from farting in the house or in the presence of others. He would often say when chastizing us about farting that ‘you ain’t white’ and therefore ‘should have better manners.’ This was more than 50 years ago, and his attitude was not uncommon among blacks.
