I THINK AM RACIST

You probably think ‘she’s so corny, how dare she say that in public. ‘Am thinking ‘well, I said it anyway’ I have been living in the closet for far too long.

Closets are tiny, stuffed, overbearing, you possibly can’t even breathe. Living in one is having a pseudo existence. Which living creature can live in a God forsaken space? Pretending to fit in, so that people like you is not my ideal cup of coffee. It sucks, just can’t have it.

I hate ‘WHITE’, there…I said it. ‘White is the colour of impeccability and divinity’ we often say. I say, white is cliché, predictable, boring and probably the worst colour ever unearthed. All the same am glad she gave life to every other colour in existence, particularly ‘BLACK.’

Ever spotted a metallic black vehicle speeding off or just stuck on traffic? In most occasions being a high priced fuel guzzler? Black screams, executive, sleek and commands a vast audience. White vehicles are often low end,basically typical movable machines.

Picture our distinguished Chief of Defence Forces, His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta giving a public speech in a white suit. It would be declared a national wardrobe crisis. For petes sake, such suits are meant for church pastors who are in the business of making people chaste and cleansed. What’s your heart got to do with what you wear? Even worse, it’s never the right suit size. I don't get what’s with pastors and oversized suits. That’s a whole other discussion for another day. Hold up! Looking like a pastor is an understatement; The President would stand out as a ridiculous clown heading the most powerful East African state. Kenya is too busy with national security issues to attract wardrobe malfunction headlines.

I would pick a little black dress over the little white dress any day. They are classy, edgy and quite fashionable. Even better, accessorizing the ‘LBD’ with golden jewellery makes you look like royalty. White for sure doesn’t stand a chance, it’s a NO! NO! Kind of situation.

Isn't it about time we dropped the white wedding gown. I mean, total extinction and simply style up. The white gown is overrated, even worse because it’s borrowed from another culture. I particularly admired one episode of the Citizen TV ‘Wedding Show’ where a lady had put on a royal blue wedding gown. It was striking, capturing and a total breath of fresh air.

Black is indigenous, bold and deluxe. She makes other colours prominent through her solidness. Embellished within her beauty is strength and an intense outlook, you just can never go wrong with ‘BLACK’. If she were human in another life, I would have borrowed an affluent personality from her.I am 'BLACK' and proud to belong!
