Life had always been so simple. Racism was born in a time of struggle to his adoring parents, Hate and Ignorance. The two soon moved with their young son to a small town in hopes of a more promising future for him. When young Racism was playing in his front yard, he met his lifelong friend Bigotry. The world was a rapidly changing place while the two friends were growing up together as people started to worry about money and their social status.
The boys got their first paying job in the slave trade when they were teenagers. Much to the joy of his parents, Racism was well liked in the business and very talented at his work. As the company grew so did his popularity. Racism was soon promoted to a public position and worked on writing policies that would rub off on society. At one of his meetings, Racism met his first opponent. Rebellion seemed cocky to Racism; he was never one to like a know-it-all. As Racism suggested Black Codes and pushed propaganda, Rebellion fought back long and hard challenging everything Racism wrote, said, or did. But Racism was smart and knew how powerful he could be, so he decided his life would take a different approach.
As the slave trade went under, Racism and Bigotry looked for a new opportunity. They soon found themselves rooming together in a city in the American South. When they were out looking for a job, Racism saw a beautiful young woman sitting at a bus stop. Relying on his charisma, he chatted with her and they soon dated. After a short dating period, Racism soon married the young Stubbornness. The newlyweds worked together to find a job for Racism and Bigotry. Bigotry landed work in the police force, and Racism became a politician.
It seemed as if there was no limit for Racism’s talent. His Jim Crow laws were widely accepted and his support from Bigotry only added to his power. This was when the pair met Civil Rights, a very bright woman brimming with confidence. The two men didn’t know with to think of her at first, she was very inexperienced and wasn’t well known. However it soon became clear that Civil Rights made up for her inexperience with powerful public speaking and a likableness that rivaled even that of Racism. Word of her ideas soon spread across the country, and even though Racism and Bigotry fought to the bitter end they were forced to step out of the public eye.
Life now seems so complicated for Racism, his wife Stubbornness, and his best friend Bigotry. Subtlety had never been one of his skills, and now it has become his lifeline. Banned from holding a public office and refused to be acknowledged, Racism still somehow holds on to some loyal believers. It’s a quiet life his little family leads now and more complicated than it used to be, but it is stable. Racism knows that he can always find some kind of work, no matter how understated it has to be.
