27. salty pete comes up from spain for a visit
contrast was always salty pete's strong point.
the large white collars around his neck let him dream of one day leading a white man's life. the special white shoes he had made were his road to freedom.
being black, his penchant for dressing to impress would rub off on the locals every where he went and they too would dress to impress. special note here to the winners - little count velveteen and snuggly the little bear child.
the over enthusiasm associated by pete's yearly visit to the amstel dam meant that now he required a police presence.
shockingly, for pete who dreamed of being white, small black children had also begun to come to his parade and this was making it harder for him to change his identity...
also, much to salty's dismay, the hordes of people lining the canals seemed also a little too over enthusiastic to cheer on fat nick, who being 'a spanish guy from turkey' had his own identity issues.
fat nick always tried to steal the show from salty pete, so pete cloned himself and flooded the market. if there are hundreds of me and only one of him, so it follows that i will become the centre of attention!
all the salty pete's though along the same lines. play music and once the brassy funk gets started, n we get these mutha fuckers dancin', den wee's can relax a little and 'opefully fat nick'l fall off da boat n inta da dam dam.
den wee's can relax!
people shouted at salty pete from above - 'the crusaders should have finished you off you moorish bastards' - and he looked sheepishly into his bag, thinking that this year he might have to take a few adults along with the naughty children back to spain for fat nick's pleasure.
pete had an epiphony! i can be me and don't need to change he thought!
every year these people will have to dress up as me and be reminded that those spanish bastards took us muslim moors as prisoner slaves and painted us poorly. they will tell their children that this celebration is of emancipation and that they must remember so as not to repeat the past.
at least in the now salty pete shares the posters with fat nick.

I think your story could have really gone off in an exciting tangent, the bit about taking people back to Spain for Fat Nick's pleasure ... just a suggestion.
