Racism: Singer Tunde Obe recounts how a white woman once unleashed a dog on him
Nigerian singer, television personality, and entrepreneur. Tunde Obe has narrated how he faced racial discrimination as a child in the United States of America.
The music star in a series of tweets shared via his Twitter page on Friday, June 5, 2020, recounted how a white woman released her dog on him because he was black.
According to him, the sad event occurred when he was 7 years old and went to visit a classmate who was ‘white’ at home.
He wrote: “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,”

..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..

According to the musician, the experience has remained with him ever since.
“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,” his tweet read in part.
…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.. #SayNoToRacism
