Diaper Change #9 - Personhood Nazis

A Note About Diaper Changes

A mother isn’t bothered by a messy diaper or a child covered in vomit. We clean them off, sometimes singing to them or tickling them along the way and then we send them off to play.

As such a mom, I’m treating each Vulgar Buzz Original (VBO) as a child with a dirty diaper. I’m not bothered much by its stench and refuse to ignore the child because it is smelly or in this case, uttering crass vulgarities under dire duress. By the way, VBOs are also known as WWMSU's (What Would Michelle Say in Utero?) to honor our often referenced and Darling Derry Girl.

The Dirty Diaper (VBO #9 aka WWMSU #9)



Like VBO #3, this one is also referring to the "Africans are only 3/5 human" laws that were codified in the United States and then borrowed by the Nazis to justify exterminating Jews. Truly, with a degree in historical studies I can emphatically state that the practice of declaring other humans as less than fully human in order to oppress or exterminate them goes back to the dawn of human history. Alas, nothing is new under the sun.

The Clean Diaper (WWFFS #9)



It was pretty easy to find the image used by The Vulgar Buzz and then copy the style with InDesign to make the more civil language version above. It isn't important which image helps a person make a better choice, it only matters that the message hits home before it is too late for the most vulnerable humans in the world.
