2 racist royals?

[drowninginjelly]

So who are the 2 royals who commented on Archie's skin now that Piers Morgan has named them on live tv

No love, lots of people 'of colour' are sick of being used to push certain agendas and are also sick of being described as 'of colour'.

the comments were never described as “concerns” either.

They were in the Oprah interview.

what does kate have? 😂

Everything Meghan wants.

It's like pulling teeth.

Only on MN could Kate making a potentially racist comment about a baby's skin colour be twisted into 'no going back for Megan and Harry now'.

I have a gut feeling that Kate who had her eye on the prize from the start and who was never going to give an inch slyly says lots of micro aggressions about a lot of people. Plants little seeds of negative thoughts. I don't think she's very nice. Calculating people rarely are.

😂
deluluuuuuu

She’s an actress, I imagine she sat on the floor as soon as she heard the car on the drive, and the key in the door.

Its all vindictive nonsense, and there is no coming back from this for the ex’s

I agree with a PP who noticed Kate upped her style after Meghan joined the family. She doesn’t dress solely in coat dresses anymore. And Kate now wears bags with handles not just clutches.

Sadly they were always going to be pitted against each other.

When was the last time you asked/discussed with a white, pregnant woman or their partner what their unborn child's potential skin tone might be?

@User5442525 You don't think a well known UK presenter refering to her baby as a monkey because she's mixed race was actually racist? Or Twitter suggesting she was "ghetto"? Do you not feel that's on par with racism a famous black mother might receive? I don't think we can compare apples with oranges though and bring socio-economic backgrounds into it.

No one would know I had the hard racial slurs thrown at me as a child either. I still lived it in an area you wouldn't have thought that I did, even if I don't experience it often now. When I do, it is not always so direct. You are going to need to prepare your children if they are not completely white passing that they will be in spaces where they are treated differently/not accepted for their skin colour, whether they do experience the racism the same as you or not.

I can't get why this is so strange ... Isa's married to a Malaysian .. my mum mused about what colour her grandchildren would be.,as did I ... their very white mother !!

That's such a weird overinvested theory you have there

Yeah I doubt it was racism more just a comment

I'm in a mixed race marriage, my husband is white and Asian heritage and I'm very fair. We discussed what our children would look like all the time when I was pregnant with our children as did our families. Does that make us racist or just me because I'm white? It's all ridiculous.

oh, but they do recognize it. they just think they are skilled at gaslighting🙄

This. I wonder if it was said but twisted to fit a racist vibe. My daughter's father and I are both Hispanic. I'm olive skinned and he is very very pale skinned. We and family often wondered will she be darker like me or whiter like him.

@rowanrome so you didn't express concern over how brown your child might be?
That is the allegation.

Your sycophancy is nauseating.

You may well ask what they did for her to dislike them so much hmm?

Why are people presuming the conversation was a general interest chat about who the baby might look like.
Maybe Charles or Kate said they hoped the baby wasn't "too" black.
Why automatically jump to the defence of the Royal Family?
To be fair, whilst some have defended the RF, a lot of people haven't so much defended the royal family as said that context is key.
It's sensible to reserve judgement until someone actually comes out with a clear set of allegations, instead of drip drip dripping suggestions that allow people (especially those with a strong sense of loyalty to "their side") to create their own narrative.

I'm very cynical and think that this drip drip dripping of half allegations is being done deliberately and I'd have more respect for them if they clearly and simply made their claims instead of doing lots of insinuating followed by clarification ls about what they did/didn't mean, did/didn't technically say.

@Myfabby you are probably right.
Anyway I am going to bed. I haven't the patience for all the faux naive racism. See you on the next thread of a golly is just a doll.

When my ginger, freckle faced best friend’s Nigerian black wife got pregnant with their baby one of our early conversations was around the baby’s likely skin and hair colour. None of the conversation was routed in racism just pure fascination of genetics. The couple were as fascinated as I was. She’s utterly gorgeous. None of us mentioned a preference just curiosity similar to when we spoke about whether my own dc would get dh’s striking blue eyes.

from what Harry said, I got the impression that was the angle of the conversation about Archie’s potential skin colour. But then I’ve not read Scoobie’s book. Why is anyone giving him airtime?

SO is yours.
