The legacy of Slavery and poor Biblical Theology Key quote in this piece: While black people dont have a monopoly on beating children, we do have unique reasons for choosing it as a style of discipline. Using corporal punishment on our black children is rooted in the violent history of American slavery. Having enslaved parents beat their own children was a prophylactic method to protect children from hasher beatings they would otherwise get from white slavers. The switch has become an African American institution, both feared and revered. Sadly, this savage tool that was once used to break the back of my ancestors finds its marks on too many black childrens bodies today. - Rev. Irene Monroe (HDS Doctoral Candidate)
