John, Betty, and Duane decided to race one mile. The three lined up at the start line and right before the race began, John turned to Duane and viciously kicked him in his ankle, breaking it in several places. John then turned to Betty and shoved her on the ground and took off running. Betty got up, dusted herself off and started running behind John. Duane cringed and grabbed at his ankle for several minutes. After about 4 minutes, Duane got up and began to slowly limp towards the finish line. A few minutes later the race was over. Before the race was over, Duane had picked up his pace and was quickly limping towards the finished line, but he was still far behind the others in the race. At the end of the race, John and Betty questioned, 'Why is Duane so far behind?'
This is the story of race.
Moral of the story - Life isn’t fair.

After posting this, I quickly realized that Black Americans don't really have names specific to our culture. I hope that people are able to truly understand this story and the meaning behind it.
