I'm feeling a bit sorry for Harry

[ssd]

I feel like he needs his mum more than ever. To put an arm round him and say "enough son".

He needs guidance, he's never had maternal guidance. Its well documented that Williams life has been really enhanced by Kates parents. Harry has never had that and i feel sorry for him.

and Chris Rock agrees

What in the actual fuck am I reading? Learn to stop digging… and to stop seriously offending people.

Not engaging with people who accuse people of being racist on the basis of two very unreliable witnesses. Everyone has some level of unconscious bias, and that is what the RF have been accused of by the unreliable witnesses.

And your opinion is not fact. My last word on the subject.

Thank god for that don't think I can stomach any more.

Do you she what she did there? Masterclass DARVO in action.

Apologies - I normally skip over that person’s posts because of repeated posts like that one and I stupidly read them this morning and got all the way heated. Just to remind everyone - a blackamoor brooch is racist, not accepting that brown people are where they say they are from is racist and denying demonstrable racist policy in an institution is racist. Even if the racist doesn’t think they are racist.

Surprised we didn’t have a Michelle Obama mention.

Huzzah!

Yet there are more posts....

Harry accuses people of racism and “othering”. Fair enough. But then in the same breath (recently, in his Netflix documentary) says “I can’t believe a Ginger can get a woman like this”.

Clearly racism is not ok. But disparaging remarks about people with red hair is ok? He’s a total hypocrite.

His remarks about the Taliban he killed being simply pieces on a chess board is racist. These people who may have been civilians or may have been fighting for their country and families, were nothings.

Yes, we really ought to be supporting the Taliban. Wonderful people.

He's 40, he's a man... enough with this "his mum died, it must be so hard for him to deal"

His remarks about the Taliban he killed being simply pieces on a chess board is racist. These people who may have been civilians or may have been fighting for their country and families, were nothings.

this remark is one of the most ridiculous things in a sea of ridiculous comments. THE TALIBAN. You don’t care about racism, you played down Philips racism this week already.

My husband is in his 50’s and lost his mother as a child. It absolutely still affects him and he didn’t have the world watching. Try being a little more… human.

I think he was trying to do a Boy George “War is stupid” kind of thing to buoy up his touchy-feely credentials. It’s a shame he no longer seems to give a toss about his former comrades. I think he really believed in the Invictus Games - not just for self-publicity. The rot set in when he bailed on the military thing that had been in the diary for ages to go to the Lion King premiere. Badly done, Harry.

In all my time I have never heard anyone discuss what happened using these terms. Never. Has it been discussed? Of course. Not in these terms and most certainly not in public.

Will there be people who do? Clearly. As evidenced.

But it will be very much the minority.

I lost my dad ten years ago... I loved him more than anyone else in the world... what I'm not doing is milking it every chance I get, from my mansion, with my Netflix deals, with fame, fortune, and influence.

He's doing a Howard (big bang theory)... he just wants attention and what has worked for 30 years has been milking his mum's death. We all have to deal, but of ALL people in the WORLD, him saying he suffers is a slap in the face to all those people with genuine hardships.

Regardless of the politics and the rights and wrongs of a situation such as with the Taliban, by labelling them as nothings, sub human, or not even human, you are doing exactly the same as slave owners on plantations in the americas. The Taliban were fighting for what they believe in. It's not what I or most people believe in, but it doesn't make them less than human. Of course it is racism. The nazis were fighting for what they believed in. They were also human. Also a hideous regime, but the fighters on the ground were somebody's son or husband. It is never right to portray any human being as nothings. Harry should have respected them as combatants. Thats what the army teaches.

Neither the Taliban, Hitler or nazis need to be respected. Why don't you have that conversation with some Afghanistanis women and girls or Jewish people.

Your desire to attack Harry is leading you to try and humanise prolific killers and that is absolutely insane.

@kirinm I'm just trying to say human life, however much you disagree with their politics, actions etc is sacrosanct. People are not pieces of wood on a chessboard and to refer to POC as such is imo racist. Maybe not in other people's opinion, but I'll let it rest there.

Did the nazis not dehumanise everyone they murdered? Treated them like subhuman before killing the en masse. Oh poor them, won't someone realise they're only sons or fathers like the rest of us.

Your post is one of the most offensive things I've read on this website.

Murdering people isn't politics.

Nazism was horrendous.

But the evidence is that there is a huge spectrum of Nazism. That's what the Allies tried to map post-war, with the de-Nazification classifications.

Some people were true believers, some were opportunists, some wanted a quiet life and went along with it, some (sadly few) resisted. The influence of peer pressure is a lesson to us all.

This is a very good analysis of the 'ordinary' person in Nazi Germany

The way group dynamics affects us all

ANYTHING that reduces human beings to 'chess pieces' needs to be looked at as part of a spectrum of dehumanisation.

Sadly, it is usually POC who are dehumanised.
