Why does it seem that black people are more likely to find violence funny or something to be proud of?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46830points) May 30th, 2019

One of my sons by another mother and father (he’s black) posted a video that shows a little kid, maybe 3, in a high chair. A women, I’m guess the child’s grand mother, goes to feed him a spoonful of mashed potatoes. He didn’t want them. The woman grabbed a stuffedbear she had on hand, acted like she was feeding it to the toy…then beat the ever loving shit out of the toy. The shock and fear on the child’s face was heart breaking…and the grandmother is laughing so hard she can hardly breath.
My son by another mother and father, and his wife, found it hilarious too.

I shared it on the Tidepool page, and they expressed dismay over the number of people who found it funny, according to the comments…..but everyone who answered was white.

Below are a couple of those comments:

“Look at Lil Jake’s face when she was beating the toy. LOL!”

“What a picker upper! I viewed this twice. Let me hit that share button this is so so funny!!!”

“BAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #Blackparenting”

What is really odd is he and his wife are two of the nicest, most gentle people I have ever known in my life.

Another time he posted a video of several black girls beating the shit out of one black girl….again they found it funny, and somehow admired the whole fight.

What am I missing?
