To Whip or Not to Whip, That is the Question

Today on Black Teen Empowerment Radio, we will discuss whether parents or caretakers should whip teens under their care. A video of an Uncle whipping his teenaged nephew with a leather belt is the subject of healthy debate in the online Black Community.

The cause for the whipping resulted from the teenager engaging in a spat with some other teens on Facebook and the teen bragging about being involved in gang activity. There is one thing about his Facebook bragging, it was all a lie and this angered the Uncle to the point that he gave the teen a good ole fashioned butt whipping on camera and had it posted to the Internet.

Many people have weighed in on the video with some praising the Uncle and others saying it was wrong for him to whip the teenaged boy, post it on the Internet and to make a video while the Uncles pants were sagging. What do you think? If you have not seen the video, you can watch it here.
