Awful story just broken on twitter about horrendous racist questioning from Lady Hussey to Ngozi Fulani from Sister Space at yesterdays VAWG event.

Lady Hussey has resigned.

'People like her are smart enough to only show this side to those they perceive as inferior to them.'

Public events, microphones everywhere??

As I said if she was a racist, if she made any racist comments others would have come forward but nope, it's all a bit tumbleweed isn't it.

Nope

32 years without social media of this

Rhondaa · 03/12/2022 10:55

'Why would Hussey have access to or be near microphones?'

I don't mean to make a speech or anything <obviously> but at these events microphones will be around, the media and journalists are present, if she was a racist then I think in 60 odd years someone just might have noticed it and said fgs keep her away from public events and educate her. Yet we've heard nothing from anyone else at all.

NF went with an agenda. Her charity have previously tweeted anti RF crap, not her personal account but her actual charity. She went there with an axe to grind and Hussey unfortunately fell for her stonewalling by asking her repeatedly about a heritage that she clearly identifies with.

Looking at the way Ngozi Fulani is being treated, discussed and dissected, I wouldn’t. I’d be pleased she’d been found out, but have zero need for that sort of turmoil in my life.

Novella4 · 03/12/2022 11:27

From the clips I've seen Ngozi Fulani is an impressive person

Calm , warm , intelligent,

She is doing brilliantly

🤣😂

That the best laugh I’ve had since yesterday, when I watched Trevor Noah’s latest Netflix stand up comedy show. (Recommend everyone clink the link AND watch Trevor too).

I'm only surprised you didn't say charidee

You are sooooo predictable

AutumnCrow · 03/12/2022 13:44

What should Lady Susan Hussey have said then, @Janiie?

'From whereabouts in Africa were your descendants kidnapped and forced into slavery?' ??

Because that's the brutal reality of the line of questioning.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 03/12/2022 14:11

"You don't sound like a black chap"? (Prince H to comedian Stephen K Amos)

Wasn't it also Harry who reportedly said of Chelsey "She's not black or anything" - something which gets forgotten in the usual focus on "rg head" and "My little pki friend"
Then there's the one about the roomful of his inappropriate friends who Meghan allegedly felt obliged to correct; surely enough in itself to put her off him, but apparently not
Personally I believe people can learn and change, even ones with such an extensive history of racist remarks, but it's interesting that the usual narrative on here is "Once a racist always a racist" - except it seems when it suits

You have no idea if she went with an agenda. Stop making stuff up!

There is just no credible way in my opinion that the timing of this is anything other than deliberate to coincide with the new mocumentary series and to undermine W&C.

Great play M&H PR.

TooBigForMyBoots · 03/12/2022 14:37

Do you think Lady SH was in on it @Blip ?🤔 After all, none of it would have worked if she hadn't been so shockingly racist in front of people.😬

Surely Camilla must be in on it and Lady Hussey too! I mean, she made sure to schedule her event right before W&K were due to travel to America. Hussey got in on the act by asking invasive questions. I think we've cracked the case 😂

These people are simple, there's no other explanation for it 😅

Pray tell how did H&Ms PR make Camilla schedule her event at that opportune time?! 😆

In what way 'clearly identifies with'? In the context of meeting Lady SH.

What stone walling? She's British and said so. There was no obligation for her to play along with a racist line of questioning and declare that she is 'from' the Caribbean when she is not. No one could have predicted SH taking the line she did. There was no way to plan this.

Unless Lady SH was is in the plan.🤔🤔🤔

Oh I agree. Just wondering what was meant by the comment about clearly identifying with a particular heritage.

Yet you just know PP would have answered any questions graciously and patiently I just cannot see him running to tell tales with 'transcripts' of anything.

Actually wasn't he called a nazi for years in the media because of his ancestry? Do you think it's funny mocking people because of their heritage as this Tweet does?

Pemba · 03/12/2022 16:04

Prince Philip was not particularly gracious by all accounts, he was a curmudgeonly overprivileged old man, and likely an unrepentant racist too. Remember him telling British students studying in China that if they stayed there too long they'd get 'slitty eyes'? . It's all documented.

AnnunciataZ · 03/12/2022 16:11

He did @Pemba but the usual racism apologists on the thread will say "but but HARRY" 🙄

I didn't say he wasn't curmudgeonly or over privileged. I was referring to a pp sniggering at a Tweet mocking his heritage. Firstly I don't get the joke, there are lots of immigrants in this country and secondly as I said I bet he'd have been happy to explain his ancestry.

Yes, I thought this tweet was hilarious and very well done.You want to cross examine black or brown people about their origins, but think it's not funny when reversed?

As for PP being gracious, lol. He was an overprivileged grump given to telling racist jokes, as is most of the entire Royal Family. Oh wait, are we PoC not allowed to joke about the RF now? Ooh lese majeste.
