Are Black Fraternities and Sororities Abusive? - Dr. Stacey Patton, Author of Spare the Kids

[@celvil1848]

She speaking complete facts, and it’s gonna put a lot of peoples noses out, but it’s really time to wake up !

[@Trustthatvibe8228]

I thank God I came from a family that didn't do this. Not me or my cousins were beaten. My parents left this earth and never laid a hand on me.

[@GregoryEastern]

So know other person has the right to 🙂

[@veewalker4472]

That’s facts and why I never pledged

[@Vee316]

It’s all a Cult!

[@tigerlilly9038]

If you believed this, it is best you did not as well

Wth?? That whole hazing bull. Ain't no way. The whole initiation ritual was just ridiculous and dumb to me.

[@hyperboi87]

My family toughened me up for real fr, they taught me how I didn’t want to be treated, and I haven’t talk to none of their asses since I turned 15, and I’m 35 now

[@JasonGafar]

What she said couldn't be any truer. She is so enlightened.

[@lucagabriel20]

Not everyone experience physical harm during the initiation process. But she has good points

[@definitionofbeauty6861]

My daughter will be going to college next year and she’s already considering pledging…but the sorority she chooses going to have to deal with me if they think they gone be hazing my daughter in a way that defames her hurts her, causes embarrassment, if she is disrespected in any way or touched in a inappropriate manner for any reason…hell gone be unleashed on earth! Mark my words I vowed before the lord everybody involved will pay the price…I’m that mother who won’t even call the police or press charges…I won’t you free and roaming the streets thinking you dodged a bullet, I have never in her 17 years ever had to beat or physically chastise my daughter for wrong doing because I never needed to…she has always been a good daughter who listened to her parents and did what she was suppose to, I’d loose my common sense the day I ever hear she was harmed.

[@GregoryEastern]

I totally agree with you because I will not tolerate no disrespect towards me or my child 😎

[@lucagabriel20]

If she goes through the process then you most likely won't ever find out what she went through.

[@MMediaP]

Literally why I never pledged.

[@debbiep99]

That's messed up that that's what happens when people are pledging. It's not a gang wtf!

[@iRockwthMJ]

Not all...

[@elgerone]

If you got scars thats abuse i wasnt abuse but i was disciplined

[@FASBLAQUE]

How are they blaming that on slavery then turn right around and say being compassionate and empathetic is white? That don't add up and y'all need to stop blaming everything on slavery.

[@dutchcapo]

You gotta know the history of fraternities bro

[@FASBLAQUE]

@@dutchcapo Nah "breh"! YOU need to go and listen to the clinical psychologist, professor Odi and learn what "emotional intelligence" is. No more excuses! Excuses are not going to save us as a people.

[@dutchcapo]

@@FASBLAQUE This the reason black people lack power and progression we don’t work on the things that affect us today. You need to study the everything from slavery to prohibition, Juneteenth to the black power movement … and then we need to use that as a guide to make moves not replicate the stupidity of white folks…

[@jmatthews5685]

She got abused so her perspective but treating everyone like a delicate flower all the time is not the answer. Also, hazing and child abuse are NOT black specific

[@vigarobugsbunni]

Thank you! It has absolutely nothing to do with black it is the GREEK system and it happens to all.

[@khaosflare]

FACTS

[@SL-ud7tf]

Jayz, Diddy etc

[@brickybrickhouse1418]

That's not true...the hazing of college kids is totally different from disciplining your children early. The Bible says, "Spare the rod, spoil the child"

[@AngeliqueSims-g1u]

"You have to get beat" Lies. That's not to say that none haze or have hazed, but to say you HAVE to be beaten is a lie. I wasn't beaten! AKA Baby For Life!

[@isrealjudah4164]

Did u go to a HBCU and did you go under grad. Tell it all 😅

[@colors-bx7ly]

So don’t pledge. Simple. a lot of misinformation out here and old information. either way, find out for yourself or don’t.

[@elgerone]

I disagree with her

[@mr.notajoke1647]

Lies

[@tigerlilly9038]

Waaaayyaminuuitt Ma'am Harpo, who dis woman?. Who is this person before I go in..because I will and am going in... let me do my due diligence...because SHE CANNOT SPEAK FOR ME AND MINE... She does not know my personal story. my line nor my organization so be easy, ma'am..move real nice-nice in your generalizations. "you have to get beat" 🧐

[@dutchcapo]

All black Greek organizations are an assimilation to white society that is the basis of the organizations… these organizarions haven’t established power, created economic in roads for people outside of the frat . They so things on behalf of the youth buts that’s no different then any other black group with the Greek label. I think the whole concept of being defensive about being questioned should stop of course. The paper bag test, extreme harsh hazing are just a few of the things once again…but as members of the organizations I do see power for the community I opportunists in disguise …

[@kactusJacko]

Jesus himself couldn't make me denounce the brotherhood

[@ERICGRIMEY1]

So soft.....I swear

[@Raven-ug8uw]

Fraud.
