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.

No—and discipline and beatings are not the same thing. Jeesh!
Ha ha—I’ve already been hearing from them!
I don’t care that they beat their kids, or that they belong in jail or prison, I DO mind when they don’t get arrested and go clinkers just because they’re black.
Oh wow. No I hadn’t. That’s nowhere near what I thought people were going nuts about. I’ve done worse-looking from playing. There is no way that’s going to be fatal, or endanger physical health.
“bleeding”? that’s fairly fresh and leaking. Yeah, that’s done with a thin stick thats all bendy.
“Disciplining is part of parenting.”
Yes. I’m a parent, too. What I meant is actually having 2 parents in the household.
You are sick to spank your kids “for parity”
Maybe if you spank them throughout the day, morning, noon and night whether they deserve it or not they will grow up to find the cure for cancer, become neurologists, nuclear physicists...............eh?
Freepers, some of you are really twisted on this subject.
WHAT in the Wide World O’ Sports is going on with all the titles in lower case lately?
Is e.e. Cummings posting on FR?
...and 72% of them would be women.
It sounds like your mother was actually training you for a career in landscaping.
You are disgusting - if you think leaving those kind of marks on a four year old is funny or justified then perhaps you need to be investigated.
Where did you get the impression that I condoned this beating? I posted the photo - if some freepers think this is perfectly fine it is their own issues with their children showing - not mine. I didn’t have to do much of anything in regard to discipline of my children - they were good kids who were smart enough to understand rules.
Thus speaketh Harridan Number One
A worthy successor to Howlin
Notice that torturing dogs, beating women and abusing children are defended as a 'black' thing?
This was a 4 year old!
Why stop at the 60’s? Prior to that men could beat their wives and the police didn’t do anything - was that a better system?
Hmmm. Have I appeared to have made *any* attempts to be humorous on this subject?
When I was a kid, I didn’t know anyone who didn’t get spanked or whipped, as we call it. We all grew up with our sanity intact somehow.
I used to have to pick out a switch from the lilac bush. Those whippings stung, but at least they smelled nice.
I would never think of you as humorous
