"Spare the rod, spoil the child".  "That's what's wrong with our kids today - we give them time out instead of spanking them!".  "My Mom beat me and I turned out ok!"  Sound familiar?  Corporal punishment has been the norm in many communities, including the African American community.  But is it the right thing to do?  Can we discipline our children and get them to behave without hitting them?  On the next Another View, we talk with Asadah Kirkland, author of "Beating Black Kids".  Ms. Kirkland is an educator, administrator and a single Mom who firmly believes African Americans must treat children more humanely.  She says with "a little thought, good decision making, and good control of our actions, Black adults can repair the damage done from passing beatings on from generation to generation".  Also joining us is psychologist Janis Sanchez-Hucles who will talk about the psychological impact of spanking our children.  It's all on Another View, Friday, April 13 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM or stream us at whrv.org.

Trayvon Martin, an African-American teen, was shot to death on February 26, 2012 by neighborhood watch participant George Zimmerman, who is Hispanic.  Trayvon was unarmed.  Zimmerman says it was self defense and has not been arrested.   The shooting and lack of arrest have sparked protests nationwide, and has re-opened the discussion about race and profiling of African American males.

The statistics are startling - according to the 2010 Census, 42% of African American adults have never been married, compared to 26% of all American adults.  Thirty-one percent of Black women in their 40's have never been married, compared to 9% of white women, 11% of Asian women and 12% of Hispanic women. 

While the marriage numbers are low, long-term relationship numbers are more favorable.  So why are so few Blacks getting married?  What do we need to know about ourselves before we can enter into a successful long term relationship?  How do we meet "Mr or Ms Right"?  What do we need to teach our sons and daughters so that they are prepared for marriage?  On the next Another View we'll talk about African American relationships with private life coach, Ms. Alvean Lyons, CEO of TRACE Success Consulting; and Edward Fairley, author of The Handbook for Increasing Your Relationship IQ.  It's all on Another View, Friday, February 17 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM or stream us live at whrv.org.
