But it wasn’t relevant. The thread was meant to be about Harry’s speech at the Wellchild Awards, a charity for seriously sick kids (actually a very worthy cause).
No, The thread was started to criticise Harry about a comment he made about the Queen at the Well Childs Awards. It is in the title itself, for heaven's sake. As for Well Child being a worthy cause, there have been several posts from a poster who has actually met Harry in connection with her ill child. You and others, including the OP of this thread, have studiously ignored her lovely posts because they don't fit the bashing narrative. So don't try to pretend that this thread is about Well Child, the charity. It's not. It is a thinly veiled attempt to attack Harry for an innocuous comment he made at the awards.
Racism was brought up as a derail, quite successfully I guess, on page 2 in response to fairly minor news that Meghan isn’t attending.
This is demonstrably not true. A poster slammed Meghan for not having "extended family" . I and others pointed out that some of her family had done racist things. A poster then asked why racism had to be brought in all the time, while another posted asserted that to talk of the Markles' racism was not to denounce it but to promote it. You then waded in for reasons still unclear to disparage the experiences of others that you said did not match you own experience of racism. You also started to question posters' bona fides, while declaring your own.
It was actually you who derailed this thread by attacking and minimising the experiences of others. You then gave examples of anti-semitism you faced, but even though that is not the topic of the thread, it's interesting that you don't consider your own posts to be derailing. Only the talk about Meghan's racist family, and racism experienced by black people, is derailing according to you. Talk of anti-semitism however, is not derailing?
We never needed to desperately have a conversation about race and the royal family in the context of a charity for kids they’re not even patrons of.
Again, this thread is not and has never been about Well Child, the charity. It is supposedly about "what Harry meant" in one sentence of his speech, which in fact was so clear it needed no explanation. Meghan who was not there on the night the thread is about was then brought it by a poster, and her extended family, which led to examples of the racism they had displayed, leading you and others to practically dismiss it.
It really does derail so many threads. I wouldn’t even mind MN deleting the thread at this point, it’s gotten kind of silly.
Considering how much you contributed to derailing this thread, it is not entirely unexpected that you would want the thread deleted altogether. Not only have you derailed the thread, you have completely rewritten the history of a thread that is still here for all to read. Of course you want it gone! @PrincessTigger
