Maybe he meant black hat. :)
ReplyDelete...discussed this on my blog: http://haemtza.blogspot.com/2018/08/can-four-year-old-child-be-racist.html
ReplyDeletei think he was referring to his family...family black....not the colour of his skin
ReplyDeleteThe wisdom of the sages; think he knew exactly what he was saying.
ReplyDeleteLook, I'd love to know the context, but on the surface it seems offensive: "Oh, here's a black man! I'll comment on his skin color!" And why would you even think it was a chisaron? I'm far from a liberal (many would call me a racist, although I wouldn't), but when I see a black person, my first two thoughts are not, "Oh! Let me comment on his skin color!" nor "Nebach, he's black, let me try to make him feel better about that."
ReplyDeleteTo Nachum: they were discussing it, because Nissin was saying that he's having a hard time getting his kids into a school, and indicated that his skin color was the cause.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Nissim complaining to the Litvak Rav Chaim Kanievsky?
ReplyDeleteNissim is Hasidic, he should complain to his Hasidic leaders.
He is a Hasid of Neo Hasidic leader Rebbe Moshe Weinberger of Woodmere, let him complain to him.
