It’s extremely important knowing who REALLY we are… our roots.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
I was going out... After a few minutes, suddenly, a figure called my attention to it, walking by my side. It was the guy I’d just meet.
- Could I escort you?
- Of course!
Then, I took off both of my headphones (or would be ‘earphones‘?). However, I said it without being sure.
- Are you Vanessa’s sister, aren’t you?
Whether coincidence or not, I started to think that conversation could be interesting.
- My name is Stevens. Sorry, I really thought you were Vanessa’s sister.
- No problem because I AM Vanessa.
- … Really?!
- Yes, I am. Could I ask you something?
- For sure.
- Are you from Africa? Aren't you?
Due to his black skin and his strong French accent, I was right that he was African.
- Yes, from Democratic Republic of the Congo.
At this very moment, I knew I’d have at least two more question to ask him.
Being Africa divided inappropriately during its colonization, to know him better, I should be more specific, more intense and cultured.
- But… Which tribe is yours?
So, he stopped to walk and look at me with watered eyes. I knew that had been strong for him...
- Abroad, NEVER, NOBODY asked me this before you! You're special for being aware about it… I’m originally from Luba.
Ready. I've already knew much more about him.
Although more important, this wasn’t the first thing I asked him:
- Do you support Mazembe (the 'Almight')?
Of course I would like to know that!
He laught gently.
Yes… he bit me.
Africans don’t fiddle about.

By the way, sex included.
I’m worried about the disparity between Africans and Europeans behavior, their sexual approach. While the firsts are quick-fire, I stand in fear of the others... maybe they fall behind blackmen in this aspect.
Is it possible even being the nordic giants? Oh, God… please, no!
