[Sicpo]

I went to see the Soweto Gospel Choir in concert last night and when I walked into the auditorium I smelled a familiar buttery smell…like cocoa butter? I recognized it as a ‘black’ scent and I was dying to ask, ‘Is that the smell of a product black people use (is it possible they all use the same product??) or is that the natural scent of black skin or hair?’ I’m very interested to know. It was not unpleasant to me at all but I’ve been embarrassed to ask anyone because it sounds kind of rude. Why do you smell different? I’m worried that someone will think I’m trying to say ‘you people smell funny’ or something which isn’t the case. So…to make a long story short…thank you for asking the question! I’m going to pay closer attention to the smell of white people…spoiled milk? As a white person I hope I don’t smell like that!
