London – A meeting of People of Black descent living in the UK has held in London over what members describe as the worrying trend of white people no longer being afraid of black people.
The Nigerian chapter of the association met in a council flat in the Peckham area of London where members shared their experiences of white people no longer being afraid of them.
According to a shaken member, he used to always be able to get a seat on the train even when the carriage is cramped. But of late, no matter how much he stared at white folk already sitting down, they simply starred back at him or look away, but they never casually get up, pretending to be tired of sitting down, so that he can take their place.
And even when he does manage to get an empty seat next to a white person, he no longer has monopoly of the armrests; they fight him for it. And once, he claimed, a white boy even asked him to please move his hand.
Other members also shared their alarming stories of how white people no longer feared them but none was as frightful as the story of one Mr Innocent Anini, AKA Broken Bottle.
According to the self-proclaimed area father of Hackney Central, he was walking down Morning Lane one day, minding his business and eating his McDonalds burger, when a little white girl of no more than ten pulled his arm and told him that he had dropped his burger wrapper on the sidewalk.
“She was only a small child, so it wouldn’t have bothered me,” said Mr Broken Bottle, “But her mother was also there with another baby in a pram, looking at me as if she was waiting to flog me for littering the streets of London! Can you just imagine that?”
After lengthy arguments, it was agreed that reason white people no longer fear black people in the UK, (at least, Nigerians) is that they, the white people, also read the news and watch television and they know that the Nigerian president is ball-less (without balls). And as far as they are concerned, so are his citizens - wherever they may be in the world.
At this juncture, the members agreed to keep their discovery secret; in case other non-Nigerian black people living in the UK find out that they, the Nigerians, are to blame for white people no longer being afraid of black people.
