Most parents, no doubt, were shocked by this outrageous moment on May 20th’s The Dr. Phil Show<\/em>, above. It takes place at “The Dr. Phil House,” during their “Brat Camp” episode<\/a>, when an agitated and frustrated 10-year-old, Noah, unexpectedly slaps his mom, Wendy, loudly, across her face.<\/p>\n

Watching that, to paraphrase Star Wars<\/em>, I felt a tremendous disturbance in the Force, as millions of Black mothers screamed bloody murder<\/em>, gone into collective shock at the sight of a little child popping his own mom in the dome. Amend that: Popping mom, only to suffer naught but a speech. In fact, after assaulting her, Noah keeps yelling at Wendy, even telling her to shut up.<\/p>\n

Wow.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do Black parents and white parents raise their children differently? As each episode of Everybody Hates Chris<\/em> may indicate, Black people seem to think so, mostly holding that white parents indulge and coddle their children unnecessarily.<\/p>\n

For example, remember the Media Assassin<\/em> post on British mums still breast-feeding their elementary school-aged kids<\/a>? Notice that there were no Black women in it? Many African-American females, I think, would see Noah’s Dr. Phil<\/em> behavior as an outgrowth of similar supersolicitousness, albeit here gone painfully awry.<\/p>\n

\"Mama<\/a>So, what would an average, old school Black mom have done under similar circumstances? The closest I’ve come to an answer is this hilarious YouTube<\/a>. It’s a North Philly woman watching the Dr. Phil<\/em> piece as her son asks how she’d have handled the little ruffian. So, she tells him, in a NSFW low rumble.<\/p>\n

Sure, she’s Monday morning quarterbacking here, but the foul-mouthed matron comes off as undeniably credible, even as she softens a tad towards the end. You’ll agree.<\/p>\n

Now, go…and bee-cho kids!<\/em><\/p>\n
