- Jax and Reddy are best buddies
- They wanted the same haircut even
though they have very different hair
- This story of love beyond race is a
touching example for many in this
divided world
A woman from Kentucky, in the U.S.,
shared the most endearing on her
Facebook page, regarding her 5-year-
old son, Jax and his best friend,
Reddy.
Jax and Reddy are inseparable, going
to the same school and playing
together all the time.
It turns out they both wanted to have
the same haircut, even though they
have very different kind of hair; in
fact, they are from different races.
Jax needed to get a haircut, and the
first thing he asked his mom, Lydia
Rosebush, was that he wanted it to be
just like the short style his best buddy
had.
“He said that he wanted his head shaved
really short so he could look like his friend
Reddy. He said he couldn't wait to go to
school on Monday with his hair like
Reddy's so that his teacher wouldn't be
able to tell them apart. He thought it
would be so hilarious to confuse his
teacher,” Lydia recounted.
She felt Jax’s innocence -by not being
able to realize that the color of their
skin would always make them look
different-, could remind everyone that
racism is something we are definitely
not born with.
Lydia was moved by the fact that “the
only difference Jax sees in the two of them
is their hair.” Her touching Facebook
story has gone viral. It has been liked
and shared by thousands of users.
Jax’s mother comments he never
mentions his friend Reddy’s skin
color, even when he describes his pal.
“I thought with all the hate in the world
today, we could use this lesson from an
almost 5-year-old,” she thoughtfully
added.
