The Abandon - Pilot Episode (Original) (by Keith Adkins)

TV writer Keith Josef Adkins was told by the studios that black people don’t do sci-fi. So he’s funding his own webseries, “The Abandon,” to prove them wrong.

"Fantastic" as in "Fantasy" not as in "Great".

A subset of the old trick of dealing with thorny issues through metaphor. Instead of having the hero encounter racism between, say, whites and blacks in the American Deep South, or between ethnic Czech and Roma in the Czech Republic, or between Ainu and Japanese, or any other sets of real-world groups, they encounter racism between two-headed aliens and three-headed aliens, or between Elves and Dwarves, or Werewolves and Vampires, witches and wizards, humans and super humans or humans and intelligent robots, or even robots and robots.

Woman Accused of Hate-Crime Murder in Subway Push

A law enforcement official said a 31-year-old suspect in the death of a man who was crushed on Thursday by an oncoming train in Queens “told the cops it was an act against Muslims.”

I take the 7 train almost everyday.  Every racial and ethnic group, nationality, continent religion, and identities are represented in the commuters who take this train to their daily hustle. 

Yet it is pretty fucking far off from our Disney "It's A Small World" fantasy.  A Latina pushed off a Hindu man from behind into an incoming train, saying she hates all Hindus and Muslims ever since 9/11. 

Queens.

Outcasts from all parts of the world drift to this little parcel of land, but this incident dampens the rosy colored vision I have of my borough. 

I am done with this ish.  I'll probably just dress up as elmo, and wave at people in Times Square, and make some monies with tipz
