Let me tell you a story, actually a small scene, that illustrates life and the reality of "racism".Based on real life!
FADE IN:
EXT: OUTSIDE - Playground - morning
In the eyes of of a black child, the world is beautiful. Though, only with the passing of time, does he or she find out how vile and despicable life can be. But for now, to an innocent eleven year old, happiness couldn't be anymore abundant.
FOR NOW!
Students poor out of their classroom onto the playground. MICHAEL, the only black male in a predominately white school, walks alone across the playground.
He walks pass a GROUP of white girls. The LEADER of the group notices MICHAEL.
LEADER
(says deviously to Micheal)
What did you say?
MICHAEL
(knowing he hasn't said a word)
Say what?
LEADER
You called me a B**CH!
MICHAEL
(bewildered)
No I didn't! What are you talking
about?
The girls flag over the the playground assistant, who we will call BETH.
LEADER
(to Beth)
He called me a b**ch
right to my face!
GROUP
Yeah, we all heard it!
MICHAEL stands there while these group of devils spew out their lies.
BETH
(to Micheal)
So these are serious allegations!
What do you have to say about it?
MICHAEL
I didn't say anything to her!
BETH
So they all are lying?
MICHAEL
Yes!
BETH
Sure they are. Come with me to the
principal's office.
The girls smile as they see MICHEAL being led to the office where he is punished for something he didn't do. In the very end, MICHAEL is not guilty. Though, he is also not innoncent anymore.
FADE OUT.
