"Dear Mamas, In my workplace, there are five women. Three white. Two black. (They prefer "black" to "African American"). We are all moms and we are all very close. In a recent lunch discussion, I was telling all of them the repercussions my son was going to get from me for lying about his whereabouts the night before. My two black friends looked at each other and then started dying laughing. Long story short, we all spent the rest of our lunch hour discussing the main differences in the way black moms parent to the way white moms parent. Is there really a difference? Do y'all think black moms are more strict, while white moms are too lenient? And do black children seem to respect their moms more than white kids do their moms?"#ICYMI, we took this question to Mama Teri on Monday's "What Would Mama Do?" and got her take on why black no-nonsense mamas have an "edge" on white mamas.
