Priest Slaps Baby .....

Tell us more..if you can.
Sure...So I grew up in the day and age when catholic school nuns were allowed to hit you. Mostly it was you hold out your hands and they slap them with a ruler. But some catholic school kids in the 70s can attest to having some really mean and evil nuns in their school. My mother was of the thought....if my child acts up in school, public, the neighborhood etc..come tell me and I will handle it. (And lawd she always came through on that promise. Lol). So I was a chatty cathy with a lot of sass and the nun got tired of my backtalk and hit me across the face and writes a note home. I give my mom the note to sign and she asks what happened. The next morning she went to school to confront the nun. They get into it and mom hits her so hard she flew across the room. Police were called (she wasnt arrested) and I was kicked out of school that very moment. so my mom did this and she didnt even witness the slap. All hell would have broke loose in that church if I was the kid in the video and this was done in front of her.

The running joke in my family to this day is when she gets to heaven God is going to play back the tape of her knocking out a nun:lachen:

Every knee shall bow...
Babies/Children can sense how people are. I, too, thought the Devil Priest Thug was trying to smother the baby, or break his neck. I’m side-eyeing the Priest Thug, too. He was too aggressive and if he does this in public, imagine what he does in private...

I think most black mothers would react faster, not to mention black fathers.

it's always about race when black babies were used as alligator bait or as experiments like lab rats
nobody thought twice. it was just a slap he'll be aight :giggle:

no black infants harmed
How does it make it better not to have empathy for other children ? Does it make us different if we think the same as them ? Callousness and lack of empathy never lead to anything positive regardless of the race of the people involved.

Well thankfully the dad, or whomever the man was, was there. She would've that abusive old crusty bucket throw her baby across the room and still be standing there.

Those same innocent children grow up to be hateful racist bigots. Closeted or outward so they get no passes. I had a one maybe
not much older than the on being baptized sitting in a grocery cart call me a N so.

And yes we are different because the one is the oppressed and the other is the oppressor.

Edit: Someone asked why some folks care whether black women's hearts feel when encountering non-black infants' pain. I tried to explain it.

I guess in summary: So white people get to mold our very souls and hearts, too? Uggh! I reject it! We don't have to become them at the heart level, I don't believe. One of my favorite things about black women is how much like God most of the ones I meet seem to be. Even in the face of it all. It's truly divine. Of corse, no one is like God. He is above all, and we're just human and all fall short. But black woman are so beautifully-hearted to me while being strategic.

Original post:

I'll share why it concerns me, though I know it might cause me to get a lot of unkind replies. I'm just answering because the topic was brought up.

I won't return to this thread because I know how people are going to start replying at me. I apologize ahead of time for bothering people. I DON'T MEAN TO. I really like everyone and believe we are free to decide how to feel, even if you don't afford me the same freedom.

I'll answer with this illustration.

My 15-year-old niece: I went on the hair site you recommended.

Me: Great! Did you get assistance?

Niece: Yes, and I learned to hate and have hearts like white people, because if I care about a white infant, I won't have enough care in my heart left over to care for a black infant. Also, the deciding factor about whether I guard my heart and have the kind of thoughts and emotions and heart that God would have me to have is whether evil-hearted people express care for black infants.

Me: What?

Niece: Yes! And when white people's heart are unmoved by pain, it's because they're evil or unloving. When I do it, it's not because I'm reacting to who they are thereby letting them design me, but because I'm being smart. God likes this--my new unmoved heart at infants' pain. Because it's not possible to multitask -- to still feel at others' pain, put my efforts though into blacks, and raise issues of injustice. I must also turn my heart off to infants' pain.

Me: Ummm . . .

I know someone whose child got beaten by the teacher. The next day the mom (one of the most mild mannered people I know) followed her on her way home after school and whupped her behind. The school told the teacher they would not back her if she pressed charges because she was wrong to beat the boy.
Soooo this actually happened to me when I was a child with an out of control nun and let's just say the police were called to take my mother to jail.

Not sure what’s going on up in here. But Everyone is entitled to their feelings. I am shocked and sometimes disheartened by some people’s lack of empathy but I have not walked in their shoes and so I try not to judge and there is always a background story to how our opinions and feelings are shaped.

I was really disturbed by the op. I don’t care what colour that child is no child should be treated like that.

The priest reminds me of the old woman in the movie Drag Me to Hell who got upset with the lady for shaming her then casted a spell on her. In addition to the slap he was on his way to suffocating that poor child. He was adamant in doing something to him.
