Once in a community of black crows a white crow was born. Since the white crow stood out in the community and violated the community Colour code. The white crow though an infant was supernaturally stronger, more immune to the sun, & grasped things quicker than black infants. The society called a council to address this anomaly.
The council of the blacks as they were called were wise beyond their years. They were blacks who excelled in their ways - scavenging, hunting smaller birds, mob tactics, religion, official communication and stealing. The blacks spoke among each other and deliberated how this little white crow could be brought in line with the community.
They devised a 4 point action plan.
1. Use dark and Ugly locally manufactured to try and change the Color of the crow from white to black
2. Uneducate the crow to make him feel inferior and outcast. This introducing a mindset where black is supreme
3. Condemn the white crow as a scavenger near the coal mines at the extremities of the community
4. The last point was to make sure that this exception never mates and dilutes the blacks bloodline

4. The last point was to make sure that this exception never mates and dilutes the blacks bloodline
So, the plan was enforced. The white crow was given inferior education, he lost confidence, cursed his luck, purchased dark and Ugly to fit in.He worked as a scavenger in the abandoned coal mines where it was constantly enforced that black was supreme.
The blacks then put in place a media gag to ensure that this anomaly was never in the history textbooks of the community...
As far as the community goes, the media did a good job to ensure that the council of the blacks were worshipped as Prophets and their idols were placed all over to be adored. White Doves were considered as sworn enemies and hunted or enslaved to scavenge. The community saw white as impure, devoid and diseased.
No one ever saw the white crow in years.. all that exists is a fable now...but hatred towards that white crow still exists till date.
Now read the story replacing black with white, crow/dove with humans, dark with fair and Ugly with beautiful
