Common plays Elam Ferguson, a freed slave working on the railway.
Ferguson falls catches feelings for a whore, and she does the same for him, she wanted to get married when he told her he wanted her to be his, but he didn’t think that far ahead & she ended up marrying a man who had the same feels as she did, (being unwanted), she had an affair with Ferguson behind her husbands back & she got pregnant, she told Ferguson it was his (on a hunch), her husband killed himself because seeing her with Ferguson broke his heart (simp logic).
Anyway, Ferguson & Eva (the whore) continued their relationship awaiting the birth of the baby, the baby was finally born & it turn out she (the baby) was white, this fool Ferguson would proceed to still claim the baby as his own & try to raise it, he got mad at Eva (the whore) for giving the baby (later named rose) away.
Thus making Elam Ferguson, #SOTD
