GlennMemberThe question ‘Why do white people let their children use profanity toward them?’, is confusing to me. I’m white, and 25 years old, and to this day, have NEVER spoken a single swear word to them, either out of anger or casual talking. I did it once as a very young child, just copying my father when he once got upset over his favorite team losing. After I repeated the word, I was rightly diciplined. I was NOT beat senseless, but spanked, and explained why that language (and the following words) were not acceptable. I never knew any of my white friends ever doing the same to their parents, even though we did create ‘The Cursing Alphabet’ on the school yard when the teachers weren’t around.

GlennMemberWhen you listen to an elderly person reminiscing about their past, do you cross-reference it with what the history books say? I’m positive most of us, including myself have done that. How could the past have been so great, what with our generation hearing about the great depression, and WW2 and Vietnam, usually. Sure it was tough, but I believe as these wise people look back, they neglect the bad stuff we’ve been forced to understand, and they focus on the things that brought them joy. Tell me, when you have grand kids, are you going to terrify their bedtime stories with the suffering of 9/11, the flip-flopping recession/depression, Clinton’s bout with deception, and your own problems? No, we will comfort them with the joyfulness of our youth, and the good times we had despite the world’s problems, even if we have to turn it into a fairy tale. I know I won’t tell my grand kids the total truth I’ve lived through. Grown adults reading this would shivver in fear!
