I guess “gheto” as a culture justifies a different set of rules, or “for thee, but not for me”?
As a point being ignored all around, the law requires reporting “suspicion” of child abuse, it doesn't stipulate “you didn't see a thang” as a defense.

After which, so it's said, the "suspicion" gets reified by a "where there's smoke there's fire" approach to adjudication because that empowers the people who are making the judgement (at the expense of the parent, of course).
'this is the way we discipline children in our culture'works as a defense if you are a politically correct victim, tho.The whole incident wouldn't have happened if that white woman had been in on the joke, instead of trying to act colorblind. SCOTUS dropped the ball in the Connecticut firemen's discrimination case. They did rule in favor of the wronged white firemen - but they should have ruled that being the same race as the president was not a valid basis for favored treatment by the government.
