JET: Age six, playing kiss chase, or should I say miss-chase. I’m over here. Hey! Hi! These girls are ready for the kill with stolen lip balm looking greasy. But if Black is beautiful like Mummy told me Why they all chasing White boy Stephen Pendry?

[... … …]

“Mum, why don’t girls wanna kiss me?” She’s shocked. I’m about seven years too early for the birds or bees “Mum . . . Can I please be White?”
