Lol. Letting people live their own lives is a concept completely foreign to republicans and democrats.
No offense, but the right of people to "live their own lives" stops right where that living impacts other people's lives. Here's a newsflash for you, the children involved are people. Tough concept, I know.

You are seriously going to compare spanking a child to slavery?

A black man called into a sports talk show and claimed it was a slavery tradition passed on. now that is something that is ridiculous. Go after him, not me.
And, go after the people who post in here who try to justify the spanking with a stick because " that's the way we do it in the south"
that deserves your "C'mon dude"

I never hit my kid with a stick. I have spanked one, but only once, and only hit him with my hand on the bum once.
However, I have never seen so many people around here try to defend AP beating this kid. And, yes, some said "it's a southern thang!"
I don't care if you live in the north, east, south, west, who cares? You should not be whipping a 4 year old boy with a stick, and also shoving leaves in the poor kid's mouth.
You CAN NOT defend this act. You just can't.

Ditto.
Saying "we do things different down here" as an excuse to beat a 4 year old with a stick and stuff his mouth with leaves, is BS
