I'm walking home and this white man whizzes past me on a bicycle. He screeches to a stop and comes back to me.
"You look like you like hip-hop," he says. (Read: you're Black.)
I nod cautiously.
"Get your phone out. Go to Spotify. Search for Soul Talking by Laray Da Savage. You'll love it!"
He watches me closely while I do it. As I hit play he hops back on his bike and speeds off.
This is the juncture where I tell you that I hated it.
Dear reader, I did not.
