Sentebale no. 3

[Thedom]

The ex lead Patron Its getting plenty of media coverage today.

(ps, my hash key doesn't work )

Again, the whole thing smells.

Referencing an 'undercurrent of stink' is not only aggressive and demeaning but also plays into disgusting stereotypes.

Agree. It is a very unusual term to repeat.

That statement (because thats what it is) is word for word from the mouths of Harry and Meghan
and Scobie and chatgpt.

Yes, what on earth is an "undercurrent of stink"?

@ShamedBySiri I'd never really studied that picture but I was looking at the player holding the VHS box and for a second I honestly thought it was Pat Sharp from Funhouse. He was just about to go severely down in my estimation.

👏👏

It’s really shows how wise the RF are with the “never complain never explain” stance as well. A stance Harry wanted to overrule, and wondered why they wouldn’t let him.

I bet the Men in Grey Suits are having a right chuckle over their breakfast this morning

I wondered the same thing. There are more randoms holding the cup than players.

Sophie Chandauka's track record is very impressive. This has made me ponder whether there's actually a less obvious element of jealousy at play here.

You position yourself as being a high flyer, and whilst your achievements are real maybe you've made them sound a bit more impressive than they are. And that's fine, except one day you meet someone who has not only done the things you've done, but better, bigger, and a whole lot more besides. The icing on the cake being that they have done all this despite having faced prejudice and discrimination - and it's obvious that they have probably faced this much more overtly than you have.

If you've been doing the social equivalent of padding your CV, it would be easy to feel jealous of the other person, because they don't need to exaggerate. They are a talented high achiever and therefore they have something that you don't have, but that you wish you did. And that's not a feeling that you are familiar with - because you usually get what you want.

In the real world, most of us that have an attack of the green-eyed monster, have friends and family to talk some sense into us. But if you are cocooned in a marshmallowy world of yes-people and sycophants, it must be very jarring to suddenly be confronted with someone who makes it clear that they are not intimidated by you, neither will they fawn over you, and they certainly won't kowtow to you.

That comment is shocking

as I said above, in Zimbabwe, coloureds had a favoured position and considered themselves on the rung between white and black so it’s unlikely SC sees Meghan as a fellow black womanhood fighting against the world but rather a privileged woman trying to steal the narrative. It’s such an American centric view of race

I can honestly say that I didn’t even realise that was a charity match when the whole furore came out!!

the venue will have also had tax consequences if the donation was not made purely to a charity I would have thought. Also, Harry doesn’t seem to get that the general public isn’t the target market for a lot of people so mass appeal isn’t important to them

In what way was SC - a successful lawyer, businesswoman and Chair of Sentebale - NOT the most important woman of colour on the stage ?

I guess Harry was only able to keep a lid on his racist core for so long.

I have never repeated this, but there a lot of people on social media who claim Meghan herself is a racist.

I think they have both shown their true colours with that statement,

This, absolutely 💯

I don't think he has the humility or foresight to see what a twat he's made of himself and the cause. His reward will probably be a grateful call from H "Bally good job you did there old chap, really stuck it to the jealous old meanies. Must dash I've got 300 pans of jam on the go and a mindfulness session to do. What ho".

running for whatever hill Ashley Hanson had to run to, I suspect.

At Least Dr Sophie can use the article in court, as evidence to support the allegation of racism and sexism against Harry and his team.

I going to assume because she doesn't have a royal title maybe? Even though the people with them are totes not bothered by them and would give them back in a heartbeat as if.

Great post. I think this is all true.

Meghan and Harry hate people who actually achieve something through talent and hard work because it brings to the forefront that they are neither.

I think Sophie is everything Meghan wants to be. Her jealousy of this educated, intelligent accomplished black woman must be overwhelming.

YIKES. There is the also the obvious fact that Sophie is fully black and dedicated her life to working in Lesotho for a charity. Meghan is mixed race and clearly adores rich, trad-wife ideology which is rooted in colonialism, whiteness and old money. The core target market for As Ever is so blatantly aimed at conservative, upper class, Republican women. Liberal feminists or first generation immigrants are never going to be buying edible flower petal sprinkles or artisanal jams packaged like perfume.

M&H pull the race card whenever it's convenient for them. It's fully believable that she has been subject to some level of racism or microagressions during her time in the RF but her entire persona and aesthetic is disconnected to any true connection with an ethnic identity. This scandal is clearly so awkward because they've come up against a person who they cannot reasonably attack from any angle. They certainly cannot accuse Sophie of being racist which is their reliable fallback argument.

Zotus group need to relook at who their head of Comms is, a fucking racist lackey for Harry and Meghan.

I really, really hope Dr. Chandauka can take some kind of legal action against him for defamation, isn't racist rhetoric a crime in the UK?

When I read the article and posted a link to it in the very early hours this morning I said I thought it had been written from the same crib sheet that’s been appearing here the last few days.

Wrong thread

But would say they are really digging their own grave and need proper advice if they are going to salvage this

What is clear from Harry is if you want a reaction from him just say something about Meghan. How does a man get therapy who has had too much therapy. I thought the comments regarding Meghan were mainly positive from Sophie, the conflict was with Harry demanding Sophie to support Meghan. On a day Meghan sent out love, Harry sent out his mate to talk shit about black woman's problem of jealousy and importance. It will be unconscious bias in a week and he'll pick up an award for supporting black women before the years out. Someone had the nerve on the previous thread to say Harry wasn't a racist because he had married a mixed race women.

Awful statement, would have been better if the 'friend' had said nothing:

Jealousy
Victimhood
Misogynoir
Racism
Sexism
Dellusion

It's all in there.
Who would have thought you could get all of the above into one short statement, extraordinary.

Keep digging!

Well I am speechless actually.
I just want to put out there that MM mocking Mindy Kaling's accent in her ridiculous show apparently went down badly in India and among Indian communities online who considered it to be belittling and racist.

Thing is, every time I feel Harry and Meghan cannot possibly be any more nasty and venal and vicious, they surprise me all over again.

There is an undercurrent of stink here because Meghan showed up and it is coming from her

He needs to go and smell his own arse.
