Segregation is WRONG
So, I came across an online comic the other day that sparked something in me.
Those of you who know me, know that ‘spark’ that hits every now and then. I’ll see something that inspires or angers me and this comic did both.
I got back to work like I haven’t done in months! Research, interviews, debates, checks, rechecks, just work like mad.
And I finished a 46 page story in 4 days. Edited and all.
Now, the editing is lax… it’s supposed to be first person blog style which I have not done… EVER! I’ve done first person, true. Lost, Silently Screaming, and the newest Breaking Old Chains were all first person, but never a blog style. Talking to the audience throughout the story, adding personal notes, jokes, things usually discouraged. It was quite an experience but I couldn’t seem to stop myself.
This story is… going to anger some people, but I hope it opens others eyes. I do not ever intend to put down a religion that has no intentions on injuring people or animals (as those who have read Mercedes’ Rule know, there are some religions I don’t favor), I fully believe: Harm Ye None Do What You Will.
This story, though, I think will anger some people. Predator Turned Prey angers some people, but this one is going to anger a lot more I am sorry to say. People don’t like PTP because they don’t know enough about slavery and hate that I would dare write outside of what they were used to, and even angrier that I had professionals backing me up on every word. Others are mad because they don’t want to admit slavery exists.
This story… will anger those who refuse to open their eyes. I want it to be known that I am not really interested in taking on another battle as harshly as I am fighting slavery. This story is vaguely relative to slavery, though. I battle segregation! You all know that, and if you didn’t… you do now! Segregation has a lot of forms, so I’m not always going to make people happy and I am fine with that.
This story is long, but I am going to post it in a lot of places. I want it read, and I am even looking for artists willing to help me with pictures to fit a music video for this so we can spread it around. Other than that… I am not picking up another battle, just education the masses a little bit with something they may know, but might not.
SO! Be ready for Jesse’s Story! Coming soon!
