“missus schwartz”

(little jewish woman in the vein of missus plasner)

(i remember her telling a story about how she slipped on ice in NYC and a burly black man approached her)

(she told us that she initially thought to herself: “i’m in trouble now!”)

(but he actually helped her up and went on its way)

(we were studying racism at the time)

(shane + i got a kick out of the ‘uh oh i’m in trouble now’)
