Where is celebration of moms whose children have been at the forefront of peaceful protests? Where is the celebration of black mothers and fathers who have been organizing against police violence, against food injustice, and against the violence and looting in Baltimore and beyond? The history of the civil rights movement is one of parents and children joining together on the front lines of the struggle for justice, not one of black parents beating their children. Yet this is the image captivating the nation.

From Stacey Patton's Washington Post opinion article, Why is America celebrating the beating of a black child?

America: Where parents should encourage obedience, not freethinking.

Was one of the most embarrassing spectacles of American stupidity in recent memory. Every time somebody "liked" it on Facebook (or here) I cringed for them. Uggh. Honestly.

This article gets to the point exactly. Stacey Patton nails it to the wall, as usual.
