Barkley told CBS’s Jim Rome that if tough standards were applied, that would lead to a lot of black parents potentially being in jail.
ROME: It doesn't matter where you're from, right is right, and wrong is wrong. It doesn't matter where you're from –
BARKLEY: I don't believe that because listen we spank kids in the South. I think the question about did Adrian Peterson go overboard. But listen Jim we all grew up in different environments. Listen, every black parent in my neighborhood in the South would be in trouble or in jail under those circumstances.
BARKLEY: Oh yeah, I got beat with switches. First of all, I don't like the term, when the media talks about it and somebody just said on television, beating a child. Listen –
ROME: That's what that was, Chuck –
BARKLEY: Well, we call it spanking or whooping our kids. ROME: If I see open wounds and bruises throughout a body that is a beating.
BARKLEY: Sure. Those pictures are disturbing. I think Adrian said he went overboard. But as far as being from the South, we all spanked our kids. I got spanked, me and my two brothers. ROME: Again Chuck, not now. 1964 is one thing, 2014 is another.
ARKLEY: And that’s fair. I totally agree with that. Maybe we need to rethink it but I think we have to really be careful trying to teach other parents how to discipline their kids. That’s a very fine line.
ROME: Alright, some disagreement here.

Yep, the boy was raised right. Sounds like another fine specimen of a Southern gentleman.
Damned if you do or don’t:
Handle it and the kid calls the cops-you go to jail.
You call the cops and a family member gets shot or tased.
and more two parent households despite any economic disparity.
“Mostly” two parent households.
The family is the building block.
The commies went after the “black” family with a vengeance as they saw it as the easiest to destroy.
