FIGHTING RACISM : NOW!!

So when is it gonna really stop? I mean at this stage, it is fair to say it will NEVER stop! I really do not care how it happens in the US, UK, or even Europe. If the damn thing is happening in Nigeria, especially in my face, breathing my oxygen, then we have a problem.

I walk into this nice restaurant in VI in shoprite shopping mall, and I always have to get the attention of the waitresses before my order is taken and i can eat or drink. One minute later, a " white person" walks in, and the waitresses scamper around to give them menu's, take their orders and serve it in record time. I mean they do all this smiling, like seriously these girls never smile when serving black customers. And then one day, I went there quite hungry, and I they made the mistake of not coming up to me to take my order, and while I was there brewing, a white lady comes to sit down, and in no time a service lady comes up to her, with the menu all smiles and giggles.. Aaaaah that's when I went ballistic; walked over to the manager, complained, scolded the waitresses and walked back to my table. Ten minutes later, the manager walks over to my table with two of his waitresses to apologise. I accept the apology, but I was already too upset to eat!

The best part of this experience is, it still happens to date in this same restaurant! And while I can not wrap my head around it, it happens everywhere too. Every restaurant, bar, club these white skinned people are given preferential treatment over us. I mean in this Lagos, white people females, go into the clubs wearing flip flops and casual flats meant for the malls and the beach, and the first African lady who walks in wearing not so fancy heels is thrown back! The only Nigerians who are let in with  basic footwear, are the ones known by the club owners, bouncers. That does not make any sense abeg, the white skinned ladies who are let in wearing those casual shoes are not even known by anyone, yet they are let in because they are white?

Ok o, let it be happening o, but i can assure them white ass kissers that if any of them try it in my oxygen space, they will have to answer to me eventually: thats all...
