A friend of mine sent this to me and I knew this was scenario I was playing in my head, very typical. Thanks mate!

I have played with the idea of slamming a white girl once just to know how it feels. But I don't consider them beautiful at all. Maybe Latino, Jamaican feels better for me.
I know it's not about slamming, and I get your point.
You know my dad worked in an international organisation and so we used to have a Christmas party every year in his boss' place. His boss was white and had two cool kids Jordan and Lendy. I remember thinking of how fragile they looked. Like they could break any minute. I never thought them better. I think it was because my dad never talked about his boss the way I see a lot of Nigerians talk about whites.
He always talked about how he admired their work ethic compared to Nigerians. He also talked about their anger issues. He talked about them like anyone will talk about his ogas and for those who were his subordinates he talked about them like anyone will refer to subordinates.
I met a few white girls as a young child and none of them appealed to me the way black girls did. And I don't remember feeling privileged to be with them. As I grew older, I realised that I might get props for knowing them. People will literally feel like you are a boss for knowing or being friends with white people. So I started showing off with it.
It was the silliest reaction I could imagine. The silliest questions like... Do they shit? Like seriously from guys I believed were the smartest.
It is the absolute worst. Now for some it was the curiosity attached to something new and different which might be the case for a lot of people. The way we admire people who take pictures on an exotic beach. That is okay, to the extent that we envy and admire people with a different experience from us. But when it becomes a status statement, An 'I have arrived' statement to be seen with an Oyibo, ahhhn. The indoctrination of white supremeness has got us on lockdown. Won ti get wa gan.
