Blacks and whites do differ when it comes to discipline....and I do feel that blacks respect their mothers moreso than whites....On many occasions, I've noticed a black lady with several of her kids at a grocery store...very well behaved...and I've seen many black mothers smack their kids whenever they get out of line or do something disrespectful....
As for the mother's son getting her for "assault"....say what?...I would have done the same thing she did...it was a very dangerous situation and one her son didn't need to be involved in....
