that was the parents fault…...
I agree with you. I have said repeatedly that white folks are careless when they look after children... and I hope no one thinks I am racist. I live here in Barbados and only recently I was mentioning to a friend that the way white folks take care of their children leaves a lot to be desired. I have seen white tourist here in this country walking the streets with their six and eight year olds BEHIND them...parents are in front...someone can snatch them and they would not have a clue. I visited the mall a few months ago and when I was in the car park I saw a white couple going to the bank, their young children were behind them. Something is wrong with the way they bond with their children. For black folks it is different they are always holding tight on their children...not sure if this is a cultural thing.
This is so tragic.
White people do that here in the N.O., too. But then, many black folks do that here, also. I don't know what it is that makes folk want to walk ahead of their babies like that.
As for dogs, I don't care much for them either as pets, with the exception of border collies, lol I guess as a child I always thought they looked the prettiest. But they need way more room and exercise than I could give 'em.
