THE ORIGINS OF RACISM . . . a work of 'F(r)ICTION

I know it's hard to believe but . . . a long, long time ago . . . there was a world without Racism.
It was a land that was flowing with Honeys. It was also flowing with Milk. The land was beautiful and it was ruled by a good and creative Leader. Everyone in the land loved The Leader. She was strong and kind and fair and made sure that their every need was her command. All that she demanded in return was that everyone in the Land worshiped her.

And they did.

Everyone was happy. There was no reason to be unhappy. There was never any scarcity because the number of the residents in this land never changed. It was exactly 9999 people . . . and ONE Leader. No one ever visited and no one ever left. There was nowhere else to go. There were never any NEW people and everyone looked almost EXACTLY the same.

It was blissful - but then . . . they had nothing else with which to compare this apparently idyllic existence. It would continue forever . . . until one day . . . something happened that shattered the peaceful, vibrant life that they all enjoyed. It was an event so unheard of . . . so confusing . . . .so unheralded that it threatened everything , everything - including the existence of the Land and the Leader herself.

It was shocking,
revolting,
distasteful,
and disruptive all at the same time.

Here is what happened . . . . .
