I was shaken from my reverie as a heavy body landed on the stool next to me. We were at the bend of one side, backs to the wall. Most patrons chose to...sit closer to the center where musicians played and a few people danced amongst the scant tables, in line of sight of the few businesses open this late on the edges of the large room selling tobacco, hallucinogens, and other enticing luxuries to drunks. It was a man and he wore a cloak with a hood. I got the impression of modest height a few. I quickly realized that White gays and White lesbians are just as racist as straight White folks, if not more so. Seriously, I think I heard more racist jokes at an all-female and nearly all-White so-called feminist meeting at the University of Ottawa than at a biker bar, to tell you the truth. Now and forevermore, I must assert my Islamic faith, my Blackness and my Somali culture. The ultimate victory of racist White folks over people of color stem from cultural dominance. They’ve managed to. I drove home at about a hundred miles an hour. When I got home Dina was no where to be found. her car was still in the garage. I called her phone a few more times. After about three hours I started to worry.I thought of going out to look for her. I was just about to start calling people we knew to see if they seen her. just then I heard a car pull up in our driveway. It was Dina getting out of an Uber. She looked like she’d been to the beach. She had on a black one piece bathing suit. That. This was Mel’s second time walking past the adjacent house that was for sale, but the first instance she paid particular attention to it. “Wow, what a beautiful looking home!” She gazed at the two-toned beige stucco exterior capped by a large brown roof. She stopped by the driveway taking in the well-manicured landscape balanced, perfectly with gardens and palm trees. The girls soon noticed they’d stopped and returned to them.“I wonder how much they’re asking for it?” Mel questioned.“I’m not.
