My name is Winter Hayle-Blackburn. Or you could just say Winter Hayle.
I'm black in the 1950's-1960's, and it's such a crime.
I'm a young black woman in the 1950's-1960's, and that has to be the runner up for the biggest crime in American society as of right now. First being black males. I should know, I witnessed my own dad murdered right in front of my very own widened eyes.
I endured white girls yanking my coily hair, confused why the texture didn't match their own.
I endured white boys criticizing that very same hair and skin, calling me a nigger.
I endured evil stares walking down the streets, the sidewalks, that white school.
I endured the press watching my every move ever since I was nine. Ever since my papa died.
I endured the three tear drop scars on my cheek by Ms. Levana in the alley of her infamous restaurant, "The Blackburns."
I endured the downfalls, failures, and setbacks of the Civil Rights Movement.
Most of all, I endured the worst of it all...
Falling in love with my best friend, Jacin, who was of a different race.
A superior race.
A vengeful race.
A powerful race.
But I wasn't in love with his race.
I was in love with him.
And he was in love with me.
Me.
The girl of an inferior race.
A weak race.
A disgrace of a race.
A powerless race.
But there is no race in love. It's only love.
Love has no color. But in this time period, only the same color could marry off and fall in love.
Friendship has no color, but it was preferred to have friends of the same color.
I have no color, my skin is only darker.
Yet somehow, that makes me a nigger and inferior.
This idea has been on my mind for quite some time now. Not only a story that focuses solely on Jacin and Winter, but a story set upon the Civil Rights Movement time period. I'm black myself, so I cherish this story and want to focus on this only, not updating two stories back to back because if you haven't noticed, The Rampion Boyz is strictly fun and romance, while this type of story is more historical and serious. Of course, this will remain a one-shot until I'm finished or almost close to finishing The Rampion Boyz Chronicles, but I just wanted to put this prologue out here to get some feedback from any one who may read this. Please review if you think I should continue and if this prologue was decent, and I'l be updating on the Rampion Boyz sometime this week if not tonight. Follow and favorite this story if you like this prologue also, peace out!
