"The most perilous division in America doesn't lie between Black and white, but rather between red and blue."

A bleeding-heart liberal. That’s what they called Jim Weldon when he promised Black voters he would put an end to systemic racism once he became president. The strategy worked, as a record Black turnout at the polls propelled him to victory by the tightest of margins. True to his word, he immediately signed the SCALE ACT for Social Justice, along with its trillion-dollar budget, into law.

SCALE was praised by its supporters for nearly eliminating racial disparities in income, education, health, and criminal justice within its first five years. The law also faced fierce opposition from those who dismissed systemic racism as a myth or believed its effects were overly exaggerated. They argued that the law was itself racist and demanded an end to government handouts. Weldon's popularity plummeted, and the empowered political opposition pushed to repeal SCALE.

Leading the opposition was Bill Duke, CEO of Strong America, an organization comprised of the most powerful conservative businessmen and politicians in the world. Known as the Kingmaker, Duke used his political influence to advance the career of his lifelong friend, Willie Earl, from humble beginnings as a local councilman in Mississippi all the way to the lofty role of US Senate majority leader.

Duke and Strong America garnered enough congressional support to not only repeal SCALE but also to strip voting rights from anyone receiving government assistance. He also passed his massive welfare reform law, the National Workfare Act of 2029.
