Was "Justice" Served?

            A couple days ago in class, we read a passage about a young boy living in the fifties during segregation. Basically this passage was about how this boy could not try out for the lead part in his school play, due to his skin color. (all the kids were technically black in this school, but the kids with lighter skin got the leads like prince charming, sleeping beauty ex... while kids with very dark skin played the "evil" fairies). The main character in this peace got the part as an evil fairy, and then ended up fighting leonard the lighter skin boy who got the main part, and won. Now, was justice served? In my opinion I feel that justice was definitely NOT served, heres why:
            The reason I think that justice was not served in the end of this passage is because, I feel that in order for justice to be served things have to change. And the "people" have to know that they are wrong.
The reason that the people have to know that they are wrong, is because "people" (meaning many human beings) are what control justice and are what stand in the way of justice. You can say that the what stands in the way of justice is "society" well, thats the same thing. What is society? People. Without people there would be no meaning to society and it is people that follow, create and rebel against it. The society in this situation, is the people in this town and how they think that being as light as possible in skin color makes you somewhat superior. In this passage the main character did not prove or convince anyone that they are wrong, he didn't even make anyone think twice about the rules there society lives by.
             Since people are the ones that shape society and were powerful enough to get these ideas and connections of racism, beauty and superiority into everyones head, they are also powerful enough to change these mental barriers in society. This connects to my second argument on why in order for justice to be served,  there must be change. Justice is obviously not served if the same unfair situation does or is going to repeat its self in the future. Well, in this passage even though Lorence, (i think thats his name?) feels better after he wins his fight against the lighter skinned prince charming, he does not change anything for anyone. He did not convince anyone about the unfairness that occurred during his audition. In the future I am sure more and more black (dark skinned black, not brown) boys and girls will want to be prince charming, or sleeping beauty, but will not get the part they want, and their ideas about how this is un-just will be shunned out of the minds of society and these thoughts will be ignored.
              During class many people argued that "he got his own justice" In my opinion that makes no sense at all. Serving your own justice is not justice. Think of it this way, If you were accused of murder and you new you were innocent and that you didn't do anything, and you new you were right, is that justice, is that enough? No, you could call it self justice, but in order for it to be justice you would have to convince people that you did not commit the crime and you would have to be freed of your punishments. Changing your life forever.
               Thus, in this passage, Justice (self justice is NOT justice) is NOT served because Lorence did not convince the people (who are society) of anything. He did not change anything and left his community with the same problem they've always had, and leaving the passage with an un-just ending.
