All I can say is God doesn’t make mistakes on the parents you get or you wouldn’t be who you are as a person. In the olden golden days parents were strict and used the rod because that is what was taught to them. My mother whipped 7 kids none saw the inside of a prison all are still alive. Her teaching sprung forth 27 grand-kids only one passed due to the street. The rest are Principles, lawyers, law enforcement officers, Marines, managers, and truck drivers.. none in jail..I can go on and on so RIP Joe respect to any elders..the end..

You can’t convince me he wasn’t an abusive asshole. I think everything that has been said about him and then some is true. I think the family had to sugarcoat things for the public image. I’m sure he did love his family in his own way, however, love and good intentions doesn’t make up for your bad behavior (and I think bad is an understatement in his case). He was a human being with a family so I’ll still say RIP even though I don’t have any real feelings for him. I hope his family has some closure and healing.

His parenting styles were extreme. Can’t tell me those children were/are not traumatized. Yeah, they have money and fame, but let’s look at the price they had to pay and still paying

He was from that generation that whipped and yelled at their kids, but he also provided for his 9 kids and didn’t abandon them. He gave his kids a way out. I give credit for that. RIP

Kayla,
I do not know why people want to say that just because they were whipped with belts and switches it was abuse. my mom and dad whipped us the same way, but at that time it wasn’t frowned upon as abuse but structure; a precursor to getting our a$$es in line. I am glad to say that I am glad that we got our a$$es tore up because if not, we wouldn’t be who and what we are today. good ole fashioned a$$ whippings saved the day for the Jackson clan, too.

Some of the most accomplished people we know have gotten their ass whipped in one form or another. I bet MLK got spanked and his daughter said he never spanked his children;oh but one time he did. Whatever, her ass got spanked!
Spanking is one of those things people love lying about.

Black folks forget that the abusive beatings as a form of discipline stems from slavery. I don’t believe in beating children and I made sure I married a man who felt the same.
