$\"hero$ <\/a><\/p>\n

At first I thought that video<\/a> of the angry Baltimore mother smacking her teenage son was kind of comical. I was a little embarrassed for the mother, who came off like a stereotype over-the-top ghetto mom, screaming about I’ll hit you upside the head!<\/p>\n

Now that I see she’s being hailed as a hero, I’m disgusted.<\/p>\n

If you see a white mother slugging her kid, you know it’s child abuse. Case closed.<\/p>\n

But because it’s Baltimore and the kid is wearing a hoodie, she’s a fucking superstar!<\/p>\n

I’m glad that she loves her son and wants the best for him.\u00a0 I know she must feel desperate. But smacking him and swearing is not okay for one ethnicity and wrong for everyone else.

Violence teaches violence. To commend this mother is racist.<\/p>\n
