Once upon a time there were white people. They invented something called predijuice. Predijuice became very popular among the white people and they decided to keep it for themselves and not share it with the other color people. It wasn't that it tasted good or anything, they just liked having something that other people didn't.1
The white people rubbed predijuice in everybody else's face for a while, starting predijuice-based organizations like the PPP (the Predijuice Partakers' Psociety) and the Republican Party. The unwhites weren't particularly happy, but they liked to sing and drink lemonade, so they managed for a while.2
Eventually an unwhite realized what a raw deal they were getting, and decided to do something about it. He gathered a group of ragtag multi-coloreds who didn't sing very well and were allergic to lemons (no one else really cared about radical change). They disguised themselves as astronauts and snuck onto the U.S.S. Better Than You, where they dumped all the crates of predijuice that were to be exported to White Britain into the ocean.3
Unfortunately, the negative effects of this were twofold. First, their astronaut disguises defeated any chance of getting the right message across and led to the infamous Space Program Slaughter (or it would have, if there were more of a space program at the time. As it was, the white people had gotten bored with space [it being black and all] and stopped going). Secondly, the predijuice, when combined with water, became very toxic and killed everything it touched, fish, plants, immigrants, you name it.4
Tragically, the white people were all but exterminated after a few days, what with their salmon dinners and caviar breakfasts and beachfront properties and predijuice at all hours of the day. The unwhites, on the other hand, couldn't afford these luxuries and were lucky enough to make their lemonade with filtered water, so they survived. They collected all the predijuice for themselves and rounded up the remaining white people to be their servants. They allowed the predijuice to corrupt them and constantly lorded it over the white people, using it as an excuse to get away with all sorts of crimes. Eventually, predijuice-mutated fish crawled up out of the ocean and ate them all, at which point they mutated further into what today we call humans. 5
The end/beginning.

Um one thing I want to mention though is white people did not create prejudice. We get al the blame when we didnt start it. I mean everyone is responsiblie not only whites.
-

I'm white. If I blamed racism on other races, that would be racism.
-
-
this was deep, with a good message, some twisted arround history, and some light humor. I really liked it. Thanks for entering it into my contest!
-
Wow. That was quite...confusing.
I attempted to search for a hidden meaning, but this is a very bad time for me. I'm not going to rate it right now, nor shall I leave a real comment.
I will come back and read it. Promise ^__^ -
I really enjoyed reading your story. It had an interesting twist to it and it made me think. Good job, and good luck.
-

-
-
I'm uh, not actually a brit, wot wot. Jolly good, eh?
-

Why do white people hate white people who are Irish? Im always being hated!!!!!!
-
-
Who said anything about the Irish? Now that you mention it though, I ought to go back in and add something about them, those dirty...um...leprechauns.

*grins*
Hee! "Space Program Slaughter!" Hell, that'd be a brilliant title of any story. *snickers* -
I don't wish i'd never read it...haha its a genius piece though and thanks for entering.
All the best,
Ryan -
ever thought of taking all the stories you put on the site, and sending them to a publisher? cuz seriously, they are HILARIOUS!!!!
-
I came from mutated fish.. wow O_o
Predijuice indeed ^_^ you would know about that, being white and all.
I am one of the multi-colored ones who can't sing 
This is great BUT I have to admit it pales in comparison to your newest piece ^_^ nonetheless, still a funny "deep" read THank you for this!
-
OO! How philisophical. Very Funny. I loved the immigrant comment, it was pretty knee-slapping. Lovely job.
-
Love it!
You have a very ... unique way of looking at things.
I'd like to print this out and read it at my next Native American meeting if you'll give me permission.

Permission happily granted, just let me know how they like it.
-
-
"Like the republican party"?! Hey! That offends me! Good thing I have a sense of humor.
In other matters, this story made me laugh when I read it. Then I read it again and I laughed again. Good message and...um...metaphors. -
-
Glad I could make you laugh. Twice. And I don't really have anything against the Republicans, I just make jokes about everybody.
-
-
huh? That was really... umm... inspiring? lol...
I think tha you have a nice theme here. It nicely represents the true realities of life and consequences of irresponsible acts and prejudices.
anyway, this was good! Good Job!
-
Wow
Ok this was shocking, because of your willingness to make race an issue in your story. I liked how you used predijuice to show prejudice. I also thought it was interesting in how you related it to the Boston Tea Party and how the message gets screwed up when people wear costumes. Oddly enough, I think this would have been better without the random ending. Anyway this was pretty good overall.
