Hapless TV husband deserves his slaps

Kate Gosselin slaps her husband in the face on national television and I want to slap him, too.

[grandma with reality]

Kate shows her husband no respect, she berates him...It's something that she seemingly is unable to stop... What is she teaching her girls that is ia okay to make Dad weak and dumb?

I am African American and it makes me "sick" to see a white women hit a man of color in the face.

Lastly, is that how she is going to want her sons treated...

He can only stop it by being gone when she is around. They probably should interview them separately from here on out and not expect to see him around much. Look, daddy is on the roof, safe from mommy. Look, daddy is sleeping in the dog kennel. Look, daddy is sleeping in the car in the driveway with the windows locked. Maybe he can learn to be a contortionist like that guy on the Oceans movies and then he can fit anywhere in the house and Kate won't know he is there. Maybe he should carry mace as well.

Would it make you feel better if a "man of color" hit a white woman? Any woman hitting ANY man is just as wrong ANY man hitting ANY woman.

Welcome to this 20th century, please leave your race and racism at the door.

jon isn't of color anyway. he is a mixture of backgrounds.

[My Opinion]

Not that it really makes a difference, but Jon most certainly is a person of color. He's one half Korean. However, I'm not understanding why people are getting so upset over the slaps. She isn't meaning them to be harmful; she's just kidding around and he knows that. It's not as though she is slapping him violently.

i didn't know that korean is a color. sorry!

I was thinking the same thing.

[calibrat]

Me too I thought it was a nationality.

What does "grandma" think of all of those "men of color" rap singers glorify the beating of women?

[My Opinion]

Seriously, no one said Korean was a color.

I agree with you. It is a play slap. Play fighting no harm in that.

My Grandmother and Great Aunts/Uncles were from Texas AND were cotton pickers,
and are white so color means nothing.

Is your name Missy? What year was that, Calibrat?

The Los Lonely Boys dad from San Angelo talks about picking cotton in West Texas, but the machinery came during his lifetime.

If somebody farts, will they both come running at the same time?

you can create to be anyone you want from anywhere you want and since melissa has been caught as eao, miller and stitch it is easy for even the unintelligent to do. since you misspell the same words i guess one would wonder. do you have 2 brothers that are lawyer too??

I do agree that all of these similarities you've mentioned would set any normal person's mind to wondering.
