airfare had seen it all - the discrimination, the racism, the broken promises. He had been promised a fair chance at success, only to be met with closed doors and condescending attitudes. He had been promised that hard work would pay off, only to be passed over for promotions and opportunities.

One day, airfare was approached by a white man who promised him the American Dream. "airfare, my boy," the man said, "I can help you succeed in this country. I can open doors for you and give you the connections you need."

airfare, being the clever man that he was, did not believe a word of it. "Sir," he said, "I have heard these promises before. I know that they are nothing but empty words from a white man's mouth."

The white man, offended, stormed off in a huff. "You'll see," he exclaimed, "I'll show you that not all white men are the same!"

But airfare knew better. He knew that the white man's promises were just a trap, and that he would never truly have a fair shot at success as long as there were white men in positions of power.
