Log line: A series that revolves around the many underlining issues and unrest that exists between “Red & Blu State” Americans living their lives through the many lenses of today's fragmented and fractured America!

 

The story begins with a flashback in time where a black female slave, with tears in her eye's, is seen nursing the wounds on the back of her husband, when suddenly a younger black child comes in from outside accompanied by a “Scrawny” older white man. She has fear and pain in her eyes.. and tears running down her face, with blood stains all over the front and backside of her dress, as she yells for her daddy.

 

The father tries to lift up, altho the mother quickly pushes him back down, while the old white slave owner says to the father that you best to listen to her or you will get some more, waving a whip in one hand and a gun in the other. His wife says “Massa.. he didn't mean nothing,” as she pleads for him not to hit him anymore.

 

The daughter runs to the other room as the slave owner says “Next time it may be you,” with noticeably crooked teeth. The mother also begs for him not to hurt her daughter again, although the slave master says.. “Nigger.. you don’t tell me, I take whoever I want” as he raises his hand towards her, then abruptly walks back out he door.

 

The father lifts up and says “One day I’m gonna kill that bastard.. I ain’t scared of him!” The mother snaps back.. “They kill you and then what do you think happens to us,” with tears and anger in her eyes. “Look at your back.. you can spend a lifetime hating or you can pray that in our daughter’s lifetime things change.” The opening scene fades with a closeup of the father's angry and hopeless look on his face.

 

The reasoning for opening Purple/RED with a story of a heinous act of a white slave master is to explain the need to deal with the “Sins of America’s Past,” to give understanding and meaning going forward to why America is so divided today.. which revolves around while people’s ignorance and inferiority of another man’s race! White men in America stacked the rules of America’s capitalist system, which is “Heads They Win.. and Tails We Lose,” so that they always win. The stakes today are much higher, especially after the first black President and the realization that minorities and women are the new majority.
