I’m not sure if this only happens in England, maybe because England doesn’t have much of a hip hop presence but it really grinds my gears when white people blend Africans with African-Americans. We are not the same, at all. Yet i hear borderline racist shit like “where’s your koolaid” I haven’t got a clue what koolaid is!  I don’t listen to gangsta rap...

justthroughthelookingglass answered your question: “Why can’t i say the n word?” i would ask why they have the urge to use such a racist term that they don’t truly understand. usually shuts them up I asked him that very same question. In what way would you want to use it?

"Why can't i say the n word?"
The inevitable happened at work today. The boys and I were cracking jokes at work some of them borderline, some of them stupidly funny, we were just cracking up for no good reason. “Why is 6 afraid of 7? because 7 8 9” lololol (yer some of them were terrible but funny) Then I remembered a joke I saw on tumblr and started giggling and in fits i said “Why is 6 afraid of 7?...

on the subject of self examination, i call into question my general relationship with the opposite sex. when meeting a girl, my aim is never to get into her pants, it’s more, and probably worse, it’s more getting into her head, i want her to want me. i don’t know what hole this motive seeks to fill but it’s a motive i’ve had for a long time. it is not always the case,...

there’s a girl back home who has given me an unconditional offer at her, so to speak. i haven’t had sex with her but i’ve got head from her. initially i felt like i was using her and called her to say ‘no more’ but she declared “she wouldn’t do anything she didn’t want to”. thing is, i am not attracted to her, i have no intimate feelings...

My lovely Nigerian parents cannot say the words “vagina” or/and “penis”. Physically cannot bring themselves to say those words. They always use some random irrelevant variant like “bum bum”.  My ‘sex talk’ was along the lines of “wait until you are married until then don’t have sex” along with examples of people who did so and are...

monochromaticblack: I started losing myself in who I wanted to be. I was seeking improvement but neglecting me because I was blinded by my desire for mental development, and growth.

Somalian girl
To all my bros, piece of advice: “Hi” is the best chat up line.  I hopped on the train taking me to watch the Olympic Ceremony with some friends. To my right was this gorgeous black girl working on her mac, I sat opposite her. She had beautiful eyes, curly hair with a nose piercing, small lips. She had a soft but distinct definition. My stop was 5 minutes away, it didn’t take...

How would you respond to racism?
My reaction to racism has always been  I need to be bigger I need to be stronger They wouldn’t talk to me like that if I had more muscle. In the story I recounted of the big racist guy, it spurred me to hit the gym hard. In the story of my childhood bully who sucker punched me, that made me join my dad in doing press ups. I never told him the reason behind it.  My theory was dismantled...

Modi - childhood bully
The best years of my childhood were in Cameroon, I lived there for nearly three years. A number of significant memories like my first kiss, riding a bike, running through a solid glass door, digging for treasure with friends, my dad’s white mistibushi will stay with me forever, along with a particular nasty scene I had in school. I went to a lovely bilingual school in Bonaberi, western...

pieties replied to your post: “Keep your fucking distance blackie” Violent racism towards black men is disgusting, as a black woman luckily i havent experienced violence per say, but i have had a lot of gross white men, force themselves on me in a sexual manner, expecting me to reciprocate or something *shudders. The thing is I got home and I was grateful to God that I got away. I was...

"Keep your fucking distance blackie"
On my way home from school about three years ago, those were the words i heard. I had just got off the metro and was walking home, I had my headphones on and I was at a junction for the green man to show up. I could hear shouting and turned to my right to see this guy obviously saying something. I took my headphones off with a smile and naively asked “pardon?” “KEEP YOUR...

I used to dislike London but my perception is changing.  I like the diversity, I like seeing black people and not being surprised haha. (I live in the North)  Diversity also means some stunning beautiful people - saw a girl who is half ghanian half Lebanese… Jheeeeeeeeeeeeeezzz Dat girl dey fine oh. A reminder to me that I should never close my mind to an idea / person / location.

Croydon vue. £3.20 Starbucks in Westfield and frapacino with friends.  About £65 for a good weekend. Thank God for money and thank God for friends.

I met a fellow intern at work. We got talking and it turns out we raced each other in the 200m 5 years ago at the UK auxiliary championships in Birmingham. He came first and i came third. We must have shook hands and congratulated each other. Small world.
