Famous singer, Tunde Obe of the music group, T.W.O has made a shocking revelation.

He said; “If you have suffered racism, it will forever leave a sour taste in your mouth… My father was a diplomat (Ambassador), so he was always transferred to different countries.”

“In 1974 he was transferred to America. We lived in Washington DC. I grew up with a free mind… towards all races. I had friends of all races in school and I never discriminated.”

“One day I went to visit one of my class mates at his home. He was White. His house was not too far from mine, so I walked. I got there and I rang their bell. His Mom, a White lady, came out… Looked at me with disgust and asked what I wanted. I mentioned my friends name and she opened the latch on the gate to let me in.”

“She said I should follow her, as she walked towards the backyard, where I assumed my friend was. As soon as she turned the corner she called… their dog’s name and shouted, “Sick Him!!” This huge Alsatian dog just went for me.”

“But I guess because God still had plans for me, I made it to the gate before the dog could pounce on me. Luckily for me, the dog stopped at the gate. I didn’t stop running till I got home.”

“That experience has remained engraved in my mind till today. I will never forget how she was shouting “Get the Nigger” as I ran for my dear life. The first time I would experience such hatred. I had done nothing to deserve. I was only about 7 or 8 years old.”

“This was in 1975, or thereabouts. Racism has been around for a very long time. I pray that one day it will be relegated to the dustbin of history, where it belongs. People should be judged by their character, and not their skin colour.”
