As Salaam Alaikum, people. Suleiman here. Just Suleiman for now, thank you very much. I'm a big and tall young Black Muslim gentleman living in the City of Ottawa, Ontario. I'm also Bisexual. If you're one of those people who hates Bisexuals or thinks that a man can't be Bisexual, I strongly suggest you stop right now and go fuck yourself. If you're cool or curious or open-minded, continue with this story...
Now, a lot of people tell me that I'm hostile, or that I have anger issues. I honestly don't think that's a problem. I'm a direct person, that's all. I simply don't suffer fools. In this life, time is a valuable thing and I don't like to let anyone waste mine. If you've got something to say, open your damn mouth and say it. I don't do hints and signals, whether you're male or female, Black or White, or any type of sexual identity or whatever. Cool?
I was sitting in the University of Ottawa library one evening, just another student at a computer, looking at prospective law schools, when I sensed...it. You can't mistake it for anything else. That sensation when you're being watched. As a Black male, I'm used to people staring at me. Even in a place as racially diverse as the Capital region, idiots are still fascinated by my mahogany-hued skin, my African features, and my whole being, I guess.
I looked around and saw...them. A chubby White dude and a light-skinned, curvy and big-bottomed Black woman. Seriously, they were both looking at me quite intently. I frowned, because I don't particularly like being gawked at by members of those demographics. Now, before you put me in the bigot column, please allow me to explain myself. This is the world as I experience it as a tall, masculine and deep-voiced Black man who feels attracted to both sexes...
The world simply can't leave us brothers alone. White guys have this weird thing where they hate and fear us Black men, and at the same time, they are also fascinated by us. Black women have this thing where they claim to love Black men, but give us so many problems that we're starting to gravitate towards women of other races and sometimes other men, and they hate it when we do that shit. What gives?
I scanned the mismatched pair, and quickly came to a foregone conclusion. The chubby, dark-haired White male is Gay, and he's one of those Gay dudes with a funny voice and effeminate mannerisms. The light-skinned Black chick is one of those Black chicks who worships White dudes and loves showing them off to any random Black man who happens to be walking by. Thanks but no thanks, folks...
"Folks, um, can I help you?" I asked them, and the light-skinned Black chick raised an eyebrow, activating whatever mechanism in her brain that's set off by the presence of a Black man. I'm thinking it's the attitude chip which she has had implanted at some point in her life. The White dude was looking at me with undisguised lust. I pegged him as the kind of soft, weak kind of punk who follows random dudes around and begs to suck their dick in the damn restroom. Get lost, punk...
