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!

Funny how to white people ‘keeping it classy’ means keeping your mouth shut even when someone is asking what colour your baby will be. Take it on the chin Meghan, just shut up!!! But yeah the U.K. isn’t racist at

While continuing to STILL ignore Prince Andrew despite the interview he gave and him going to a known pedophile’s house willingly. Where is his investigation by the RF? They can investigate a bullying claim from three years ago about Meghan but can’t do one against engaging with a pedophile and him allegedly having sex with a trafficked teen? That’s pretty serious in my book and you would think it would be in their’s too after Jimmy Saville, but guess not when it comes to the RF.

Exactly phoenix, the RF have always been masters of their own discretion.

I'm presuming there is no talk about Prince Andrew because of the ongoing FBI investigation.
Any comment by anybody about that might compromise it surely?

HmmmmmmInteresting · 13/03/2021 10:03

@creepingthyme

Quaagars I get that, but shouldn't we then excuse every racist, because we can all "grow and learn?". As one of the most privileged males in the UK who has had worldwide exposure to people of all colours and creeds if he wasn't aware of his white privilege then I don't see why we should expect anyone else to. It wasn't just the Nazi issue, what about him referring to his army colleague as a p*ki? I don't intend to derail the thread but I'm really shocked that this hasn't been spoken about on this board. It has been mentioned frequently how a woman's proximity to a Black man does not obsolve her of racism, but it doesn't even seem to be an issue for Harry and I'm just wondering why.
There's thousands of attacks on this board about Meghan every hour, which is exhausting. I don't see how trashing Harry helps at this moment when there is so much else going on.

By the way Harry definitely isn't racist (to black people, anyway Grin) twitter.com/henryscousin/status/1190663166788804608?s=09

That’s probably true actually.

Love that Obama skit😁

Quaagars · 13/03/2021 11:08

creepingthyme I didn't say you'd learnt nothing, so not entirely sure what you're going on about there, sorry.
I thought you were wanting an answer, with your "genuine question" but by your offense jumping and your buts it comes across as otherwise.
Will scroll on by next time.

DeeCeeCherry · 13/03/2021 11:09

It would be cool if Patrick? (Ive forgotten full handle) who instigated this Board was here, to remind people of the fuckery levels of racism by MNers that directly led to this board being created. She requested this board and campaigned hard for it. & was actually threatened by racist scum too.

And that includes the British press whose coverage has been minimal at best compared to H&M?

Patricksrum, not seen her post for a while, hope she's all good.

Oh yes, patricksrum

Thanks Handsoffstrikesagain & Quaagars

I hope she's well too.

The level of racist harassment she experienced she'd have been well within her rights to have gone to the police tbh. It got well out of hand.

It's partly why I say don't let racist derailers with a vendetta drive Black Women & Allies away from this board. They are irrelevants.

No need to jump up every time a dog barks

As the saying goes...

Someone fought hard for this Board. I keep that in mind

@Quaagars please don't tone police. As a white woman you really have no right to do that on a thread about racism. You didn't even have the decency to apologize.

Same, feeling sorry for engaging - was just answering a question as seemed genuine and I could relate to.
When it comes back "yes, BUT" - kind of like they never listened at all

You accused me of not listening to your explanation of dismantling white privilege, I'm genuinely astounded at your response. I asked a genuine question about Harry and racism (which one poster addressed and I appreciated) and that is how you behave? You should be ashamed.

DeeCeeCherry · 13/03/2021 12:51

Handsoffstrikesagain

Makes a lot of sense and I am sorry to hear what happened with you. It's good to know your experiences have been understood and not minimised.

I don't think they're here to change Black Women's minds really. It's just goading. They don't like Black Women. & have that ever present need to be centred, of course.

I suppose there is a 'Why' to it all but Im not interested in knowing about it.

Anyway, good to have you around🙂
