Nobody around here is going to use the nigger example. We're talking about human psychology, not the psychology of monkeys.

If you routinely beat a child they aren't going to remember what they did wrong - they're going to remember the beatings. Stack up enough of them and you end up with an adult whose memory of their childhood is "my parents enjoyed hitting me." It instills a strong sense of "might makes right," and around the teen years the kid often becomes physically mightier than the adult. I have aunts/uncles who ended up getting beat by their teenaged sons, and honestly I don't think negatively of this outcome.
