I'll start by stating I couldn't give two shits about two people I don't know.

However, I am finding so much humour in the 'non racist' vitriol from people that don't know them, and who seemingly don't care, yet can't get them out of their mouths!

I can't wait for this Oprah interview (that I might not even bother to watch) because I'll find the obsessive thread after thread on this absolutely hilarious.

To start us who have had a lifetime of this shit off, I thought I'd add to the frothing with this gem!

Kelechi, Shola and Gina were so on point and so unapologetically Black!

I'm hoping we can congrats here for our own analysis later!

@gottakeeponmovin

I agree but the row was over Meghan not following protocol. Meghan probably cried because she was incredibly stressed. But she didn't try to explain it - just left it hanging that Kate made her cry. It's manipulative
Regardless of whether or not it was over protocol doesn’t make the initial reporting of it less incorrect so I’m not understanding your point. K made M cry and it was misreported and M was slated in the media. This was alongside all the other racist reporting. At no point did K defend her and now she’s defending herself she’s manipulative Hmm

(They will probably complain and ask for this post to be deleted. As they don't understand this is BMN and the discussion is focused on racism.)

Oh, they understand alright.

Well then I guess the other 10+ Meghan bashing threads should be deleted first

I always assumed that racism was more prominent in the USA than it was here

I think it's been well and truly shown recently that racism in the UK is sadly definitely still alive and kicking.

@Benelovencd

FFS they found it. This is BMN, please go back to the main board and stop derailing our thread.
Sad It's in my trending bar, so I bet it is for everyone else too. Maybe that's something MN should look at, a way to stop it showing up in trending as people will just see the Harry and Meghan title and stick their opinion in without noticing what board they're on.

“I always assumed that racism was more prominent in the USA than it was here”

As a white southern American who hear people say stuffs in secret, British may be far, far less racist than Americans. But when it comes to their newspaper, don’t know. They wouldn’t dare use animals as an insult.

If you're white I don't think you're qualified to talk about racism. Could you leave us to our discussion please

It's that thing of forever believing their voices must be heard. Even where there's f-all interest in what they have to say. & They've whole boards/threads where they can excitedly get their rocks off with other no-mark dim brains who take the tabloid press as their gospel. But no, they crave to know what we think.

Even guiding their hard ears towards a book for them to read hasn't made the penny drop as to how little their input is required.

Gweh..

You have such a way with words. This made me LOL. Grin

Meanwhile, The White House has come out in support of Meghan and Harry.

What happened to the "special relationship" between UK & USA?Grin

@gottakeeponmovin

I think she is putting too much of a spin on it to make me believe she is genuine. For example it's well publicised that Charles is reducing the royal family. As such when asked why he may not be a prince she could say well it could be this ... but regardless I don't agree. The point about the row with Kate was a protocol thing about tights. The public know it but she glossed over it. The wedding vows ... they probably wanted a private moment but she implies it was an actual wedding. The point about removal of security - if you aren't a member of the royal family you don't get it. I am sure there were a lot of issues but they are not being completely honest. It's very one sided. And of course they know the royals can't respond
We're not interested in your opinion

@DeeCeeCherry Brexit - the UK is in a very weak position.

The title thing is being twisted. To quote someone else:

"The issue I see is that Archie would technically become Prince when Charles becomes King, that's protocol BUT Meghan is saying that they wanted to change that law so Archie wouldn't become Prince and that was due to his race"

RedMarauder · 08/03/2021 23:01

Currently watching Newsnight with Emily Maitlis. They have rolled out one old white guy. Hugo Vickers?

They have Emma Dabiri and Wendy Osefo.

Quaagars · 08/03/2021 23:03

Oh I can see if the thread can be deleted- it was genuinely never my intention to offend.

No - why are you talking about getting the thread deleted?!
You're not the OP, the conversation is a really important one and nothing to do with the millions of other Harry and Meghan threads that descend into chaos!
The conversation has moved on from you and your whataboutery.
MNHQ, please don't delete

Thanks for the heads up. Hope it's not going to annoy me

Unless you mean your own posts? If so you can report your own posts and ask for them to be removed and MN will remove them for you.

HmmmmmmInteresting · 08/03/2021 23:04

@Orchidflower1

To be fair I think it’s the title of the op that makes it in the trending section.

Oh I can see if the thread can be deleted- it was genuinely never my intention to offend.

Give me a minute and I’ll try.

Thank you for all the information and sorry if I have hurt anyone’s feelings.

Jesus Christ, are you for real?

Rather than trying to get things deleted why don't you just stop posting?

Quaagars

I've had a comment deleted yet I didn't directly address anybody. I only ever respond to people who quote me and even then, if it's a racist/detailer I don't even bother to reply as Im uninterested.

So I guess someone is squatting here on report-comment duty because it's not all about them and they're not getting the response they want.

After watching that I’m so glad for her that she got the hell out. And why oh why is the criticism always aimed at her as if he’s he’s such malleable man child with no mind of his own?!

Piers Morgan has Thomas Markle guesting on his show tomorrow as his 'coup' doesn't he?

In the face of the mighty White House now coming out in support of Meghan, Morgan may as well be bringing a water pistol to a gunfight😁

Benelovencd · 08/03/2021 23:14

No prizes for guessing who that is @DeeCeeCherry

Someone insistent they are sorry and not racist and don't want to cause harm but continuing to post and incite sh!t. I haven't checked my posts but I'm sure I have had a few reported by said poster and wouldn't be surprised if I had something deleted which makes me despair at MN 's ability to spot shit stirring especially with regards to this board and actually enabling the racists instead of protecting BMNers from trolls
