Jewish Children's Books Series #4

Mommy, Why Did the Man Take a Picture of Me while I was Driving Wearing a Yarmulke?
A HarazQuack Publication

"Because, Shlomo," said Mamala, "some people are bigoted assholes."
"Really?"
"Yes. They treat others like animals. With no empathy or regard for how they might feel."
"These are bad people."
"No, Shlomo. They just don't know any better. They haven't met people who are different from themselves, so they don't know how to deal with others. They are either not able, or simply don't, put themselves in the position that they are putting others in. They lack empathy."
"I'd like to take pictures of the Gentiles and then put it in a newspaper. Then I would write a demeaning caption underneath the picture."
Mamala scowled. "What good would that do? Just because someone dehumanizes you, you shouldn't dehumanize them. Just don't allow them to dehumanize you. Wear your yarmulke proud. And tell those bigots to go fuck themselves."
"Ok, Mamala. I will."
"Good night Shlomo."
