(Discrimination, a word we are all too familiar with in CPW. Only one man keeps bitching and complaining about since his arrival and to be honest, it is pathetic. The man known as Scarecrow has been going on and on about the discrimination towards him that it is getting to a point where people have giving up even caring for such nonsense. The man believes people are out just to hate on him, as if he is nothing to society. But really, what does he know? Where does he come off that he is being discriminated against? It seems the man is just trying to make people feel sorry for him.
Society today can be very harsh, if you let it be so. How you conduct yourself in society can lead to how you are perceived, something Scarecrow just doesn’t get. Maybe a slight lesson from none other than Platinum Playa can drill that thru his hollow skull.
As the camera comes to, we are looking at the outside of the Slauson Super Mall in West LA. Located in one of the lower class areas of the city, the Slauson Super Mall is known for its multiple swap meet type vendors. With many clothing lines and various types of jewelry, this place is a hot spot for those looking for brand name items at a much cheaper cost. Its customers are roughly 80% African American and is usually one of the busiest places everyday, except for the second Tuesday of each month, for that is when it is closed.
As we make our way to the entrance, we see none other than Platinum Playa, looking like he had been waiting for us for some time now. He begins to speak as we approach him.)
Playa: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the only thing in LA that I like, the Slauson Super Mall. Please allow me to show you the inside of this great place where I meet my shopping needs.
(He walks through the sliding doors and with his back turned to the camera, he pulls his arms out, basking in the surroundings. The place is quite simple inside with various shops scattered about. Hey, there is even a place to buy yourself some rims to trick out your ride! The Icy One walks through each aisle, stopping for brief moments at spots that catch his eye as he talks.)
Playa: A place like this is heaven to some. I mean, just look at all the great things here. You got your Ed Hardy line, the ever so popular New Era fitted baseball caps and what’s a mall without a place to buy your Air Force Ones? And all at fairly low prices. This is awesome. But that is not what I am here to talk about. You see I brought you all here for a reason. As seen in the past, Mr. Crow deems it necessary to say that people discriminate him because of his hideous looking figure. How he is treated different because of how he looks. Well, maybe if he was not so shallow to everyone out in public, he wouldn’t get treated like he does. I mean, look at how you go about your life Crow. You mope around and stray away from any encounter you may come along and you wonder why people treat you the way they do? You need to get over the fact of whatever it was that made your face what it is now. Be like any other normal human being out in society and watch as things turn around for you. Or are you too scared to do so? Are you so embarrassed by what you look like to even try such a thing? If so, then you should be ashamed of yourself. You claiming things such as discrimination is just a cover up for your own doings. You don’t let people get to know you, you don’t want people to get to know you and that all turns to people shunning you from society. But I am going to show you a man who has a lot more heart and pride than you will ever have Mr. Crow. Follow me and let me show you a man, in a similar situation, who society just loves.
(A few lefts and rights later we come to a place selling top of the line belt buckles. Diamond studded, gold platted, you name it, they have it. And might I remind you, at cheaper prices than you can find anywhere else. The man working this shop has been here for over 20 years selling buckles of all types. He goes by the name of Ron and has been running Saulson’s best shop for the last five years. People know him by name and stop by this place as soon as they walk in, because chances are he has the newest thing that just hit the market. Ron was also part of an accident that mangled most of his face, something he talks about on occasion. But nothing stops him for pleasing his customers and the customers enjoy talking to him. Ron turns around and the camera gets a close up on his face, one side severely mangled and deformed.)
Ron: Haha, there is my best customer. Long time no see.
Playa: Yea, well I am not too fond of LA, I mean besides this place, I could careless for it. But my job says I need to be here, so here I am. Hopefully it is the last time I have to come here for awhile.
Ron: Well why say that? I’d much rather see you when you buy my stuff instead of having to send it out.
Playa: Yea, I hear you on that, but the place just isn’t for me man. I just cannot stand it here. Plus, I come here at least once a month to get my much needed items.
Ron: Very true, and congratulations with your new job. I hear you are doing quite well for yourself.
Playa: Actually it has, and that is why I came here today. You see, I am set to defend my title, and defend it successfully mind you, against a man known as Scarecrow.
Ron: Oh that guy. A shame he has to hide behind that mask of his or hide his face with his hat. Just terrible...
Playa: Well that is why I am here right now. He needs to know that his is putting all these hardships from society on himself. He needs to learn that it is his own fault people look at him like they do. You know what I mean?
Ron: Well of course. I mean look at me, I’m not one that is looking good in the looks department. But what is a mask going to do to hide my identity. Of course people will treat you different by doing what he can to hide himself. They don’t know if you are about to rob them or what. He needs to open up and embrace life. You know, he is lucky to be alive to begin with. Things could be much worse than having a disfigurement of the face.
Playa: Exactly!
Ron: I could careless what people think of me. Sure I look terrible, but that doesn’t warrant me to stray away from others. I make sure I get out there and be myself. People are more likely to be kind to you if you go out there and act lie nothing has happened. No sense in moaning about so and so did this because I look like I do. To me, Scarecrow is just making excuses to let himself be who he is. And frankly, I am not too fond of those that do exactly what he is doing. It is just sad.
Playa: Very intelligent man you are. I’m going to come back here in a few. I got to finish up with these camera guys and be right back.
Ron: Not a problem.
(Not knowing what else to do to prove his point to the decrepit Scarecrow, Platinum Playa makes his way to a bench. He takes a seat and finishes up his moment on camera.)
Playa: Scarecrow, its clear to me and many others that you are making yourself look like a fool. You look like a shady character wherever you go and wonder just why is it people treat you like they do. I think I made my point pretty clear on this manner, you make discrimination come to you the way you carry yourself. If you don’t like being treated like you do, you have nobody to blame but your sorry ass. As far as Sunday goes, your greed will not help you gain what you desire. Greed is, and has always been a man’s downfall. You get too greedy, you start thinking things become easier, then BAM!, just like that, you are sitting there wondering just what in the hell just happened. Your greed is to my advantage Mr. Crow. You think you have it all planned out but come Sunday it will bite you right in the ass. Greed got me nowhere in pro wrestling, my talents did, something its clear you do not have since all it was that has led you this far is greed. And my talents, not your greedy soul, will take you to hell and back Mr. Crow. Summer Blast Off will see you lose your first match, and then you will see that your greed got you nowhere but a few bruises and no gold. Greed is a sin for a reason Mr. Crow, and you will find that out first hand at Summer Blast Off. Ya diiiiiiig!!!!!!
(And with that, Platinum Playa searches for his wallet and heads back to Ron and his elegant buckles. The scene fades as we see Ron talking amongst his customers and helping them in any way he can.)
