WAIT! A woman doesn't want her son to grow up to be a rapist???
And this is a thread to mock and ridicule such a notion? Have I got that right???
Okay. Just making sure...
What if he was black and she just naturally assumed he'd grow up to be a carjacker?

Be good if moms of ‘other races’ taught their sons not to rape
Because ‘white people’ most definitely do NOT top the stats when it comes to raping
Nor do they top the stats of most other crimes and degenerate behaviour
Teaching values, if only that was aspired to huh?

Well, speaking personally, I can't ever remember my mum telling me "not to be a rapist" or a carjacker for that matter, and guess what? I've never done either...or even entertained the thought. Empathy for others is not something that is taught. It is something that is inherent in a persons psyche.

There is, but she's not there. She's at the extreme end of crazy.
I never assumed my kid was going to be a horrible white male. I do spend time worrying about what the world will be like for him because he is one, but I never worry that he will be bad just because that's what he is.
If he turns out bad, it's a combination of things including my failure as a parent, but none of them have much to do with his skin color or biological sex.

And you sure are going to great lengths to defend a mother making horrible statements about her poor baby boy.
She's talking about worrying that his birth sex and skin color are going to predestine him to be a bad person, so she has to work super hard to make sure he's better than that. It's like someone in a Muslim country beating his little girl because she's a woman and can't be relied upon to control her female nature.

But I don't specifically say, "Son, today I am going to teach you how not to rape."
Who does that?!
If any parent has done his or her job, the topic never need come up since you've already taught them how to respect other people. If my child respects others, then he's not suddenly going to decide that it's OK to do something someone is telling him not to against their will ... because, you know, he's been taught respect for others.
If I set out to teach him specifically every single instance where he might need to demonstrate respect for someone else as a separate and distinct lesson, then I might be doing it wrong.
As I said, I haven't watched, and I have no intention of doing so

Um... yeah... right.
Because this thread is literally overflowing with folks aspiring to teach values to children...

Interesting... could you provide a source, please? Because after my own quick search, that's not what I'm seeing.
For example, in a report from the Department of Justice in 2018, their statistics show 55.7% of offenders were White, and 22.1% of offenders were Black.
Race and Ethnicity of Violent Crime Ofenders and Arrestees, 2018
The RAINN organization has similar statistics, showing 57% of perpetrators were White, and 27% were Black.
RAINN -- Perpetrators of Sexual Violence: Statistics
And to keep these statistics in perspective, the numbers refer to the race of the perpetrator in terms of total number of reported rapes, not the total number of perpetrators. Because rapists tend to be repeat offenders, the numbers possible/probably reflect multiple crimes committed by one perpetrator.
Really?
And how much of the population is black?
Whoops, per capita is an actual thing
Lol so you have more comments in this thread than anyone else but you didn't bother watching the video, so you don't even know what you are trying to defend. Willful ignorance.

Let's see... I made one initial comment about a mom trying to teach her son values and principles in order for him to lead a productive and happy life, including not raping women.
I have lost track of just how manyrape apologistshave jumped on that one comment to defend mocking a mom for wanting her son to be a good man; and in the process made some rapists and wouldbe rapists quite happy. I'm sure they'd like ALL such moms mocked and ridiculed out of existence.
And I'm the ignorant one??? SMH...
