Damn it!

Yes. This is how racism begins. Parents passing on their hate to their children.

I am not even sure where to post this! This is not just racist, it is teaching your young son that abusing a woman is funny. You teach them at your knee about Misogyny? Women are cheap? We are nothing more than to be dragged about by our hair? You just taught your young son that it was okay to put his fist in a womans face! Dear Gawd, I weep. A mother allowed this. I am far beyond words here.

I think I will be sick. This. This is what we are teaching our children? Hate, racist hate and misogyny.

I don't usually say this, yet sometimes I think we have lost out immortal souls.

I can't even count how many wrong messages that kid is receiving. I'm also not sure which is worse: was it his idea, or his parents'?

I don't think it matters whose idea it was. If it was the kid's, his mindset had to come from somewhere.

Either way, the parents are obviously OK with it.

Poor kid's a misogynist-in-training. I hope he gets set straight at some point.

They're running the whole damn country. WTF?

Ignorance is intentional. I don't mean just at the family level. The degradation of education in this country was/is done to keep everyone from going after the rich and instead at each other. I honestly believe that.

United we stand, divided we're controllable

transcript on the conversation in that house.

Son: I want to be Patrick from SpongeBob.

Dad: No son. You will dress up as a real man. Ray Rice. We will even get you a doll to drag around by the hair. If your Mom complains, I will smack her up side the head.

your kid off. what would you do?

i know as a parent, at the school regularly, knowing about all of them, that i would step out and say something to the kid, about the wrong in the costume, his parents should have not allowed, that is what parents do, and talk to the parents and talk to the principle.

i would. i would have no problem with it either. i would also be talking to eveyr mom and dad along the way, how much that bothers me.

and my boys of course.

and there friends

teaching them the wrong in it and nothing to smile about

can you imagine this kid really got away with this, without feedback?

i cannot imagine any scenario this kid would not have had adults addressing this. i do not care how red the state is.

I was thinking about how I would address this if a kid came to my door dressed like that. Do you punish a kid for their parent's stupidity? I know the kid would not have come up the idea. Hey Mom, I wanna be Ray Rice, beating a woman for Halloween. Uhm, no. kids want to be scary monsters, firemen, cartoon characters and military people. Not wife beaters.

I do know I would give the parent an earful with the kid standing there listening. Hopefully taking in the lesson that dressing up as a wife beater or anything similar is repugnant to many people.

this is not ok. i would not be mean. i would not punish. more. this is the info. this is why it is wrong. your parents should not have allowed.

flat out.

just flat out.

no quibble.

there are things in society that has to be a flat out no. this is one.

there is nothing cute, or funny about this. shame on your parents for not teaching you better. and i would speak out for all the kids around him.

age appropriate. this is parenting.

the kid heard his parents chucklin'. he knew, the wrong. he is not young like 4. he knows. and it has to be called out, said out loud, not just a tight, disapproving face in giving the candy.

i would say something.
