54. (Your Eyes are the Color Of)

Posted a story in nonrevision. Updated things around here and there a little bit.

The story... it's kinda out there, and kinda contraversial. It's for my fiction-writing class. The issue addressed is a heavy one, but it's one that I think is of particular importance in America--and the world--today.

The basic thing that it is trying to say can all be boiled down to a few single theses, if you will:
1) Color-based racism only runs skin deep.
2) Given the proper influence, people are capable of hating anybody.
3) Racism defies logic; to believe that someone is inferior to you based not on actions, but on appearance and background, does not make any sense.

ANYways... It's there--and it's still a first draft, of course, which is due in class tomorrow. At the end of the semester it'll probably get tossed, in full-drafted form, into deviantart. If you read it: keep an open mind.

J out.
