"Tokyo Orphanage. 1953."

White Mother: Are these the kids?
Orphanage Worker: These are all of the angels. Yes.

::In her eyes, she seemed strangely uninterested::
::Most of the kids stood at her feet pleading for acceptance except for one kid::
::He was the only black kid in the orphanage::
::He was balled up in a corner all by himself::

White Mother:(kneeling down in front of the black kid) What's you name little one?
Orphanage Worker: That one hardly speaks. The previous owners called him IT.
White Mother: I want this one. He looks cute.
Orphanage Worker: M-May I recommend a different child m'am.

::The mother picks up the kid and holds him in her arms::

White Mother: I'll call him Mark.

::Mark fits in well, even though he was black::
::He plays with his two other white siblings: one male and one female::

::Mark grabs his bags and steps in::

::There was minutes of silence before the Trucker spoke his first words::

Trucker: Why Okinawa?
Mark: Well since I'm still a minor, I have another family lined up for me. Black too! I hate white people now!
Trucker: Well I'm white.
Mark: No in offense to you. It's a personal issue. I have nothing against you.

::Minutes of silence went by::
