To you it's "child abuse" but to AP, and many others, it's "discipline". Perception is everything. To crucify him for discipling his son is wrong though.
Let me start by saying that I am a 25 year old, white male of privilege, so I certainly speak on this issue from an outsider's perspective, but calling it "discipline" is such a cop out.
The fact that members of the African-American community would continue to "discipline" their children in the same brutal way that many of their ancestors were "disciplined" as slaves is a mind-fuck I can't begin to understand.
You can label it what you want, but it was just as wrong back then when whites were doing it to blacks as it is now when blacks do it to themselves.
