In terms of racism and hypocrisy, We mirror Great Britain more than we realize

[CatWoman]

right now the royal family is attacking their very own prince and his black wife ahead of an Oprah Winfrey interview.

Their focus of outrage? Meghan Markle mistreated some of the staff.

Never mind that it was said and proven that many white royals have done the same and it's been documented thru the years.

Yet the Queen's son has been accused of sleeping with 13 and 14 year old girls and not a peep about an investigation into that.

1. Their outrage is she rejected them and their racism. The lies about her mistreating staff

is part of the smear campaign against her.

The lack of outrage over Andrew while she gets the hate says it all.

2. I'm Not So Sure It's Racism

Perhaps there is some of that, but my opinion is that it has to do with her being a foreigner, and not part of their "social" upper class. She's an outsider. They thought of Princess Di the same way, and she at least had some things going for her that Meghan does not.

And as for Meghan, why does she have to be put on some sort of a pedestal? Perhaps there is truth to stories of how she treated staff. Maybe it's all made up, but it's at least possible there's some truth to it. Nobody's perfect, and if I've learned one thing, it's that you can't always necessarily know what someone's really like, especially when they hide behind a spin machine, designed to only convey positive attributes.

To be honest, I don't care for any of them. I have never liked Harry since he thought it would be a bright idea to play Nazi Dress Up. Does he not know the fucking history of the Germans and British in the 1930's & 40's? William seems normal, but there's certainly skeletons in his closet as well.

Honestly, if I wouldn't be interested in Harry & Meghan when they were actually part of the Royal family, why would I care about them now? What is it about them that's so special? She was a moderately successful actress, and he's an ex member of Royalty. I suppose it's the Drama and Soap Opera qualities that people are drawn to. I find it unbelievable that they're making money off the fact they are estranged from the Royal family. I'm sure they got a boatload from the Oprah interview. I guess they need the money to make the mortgage payments on their new place in Montecito, CA and maintain their lifestyle standards.

4. It is racism. The attacks on her have been racist. From the start referring to

her as the ghetto girlfriend.

6. With Meghan, it's definitely racism.

11. It's Sad That Humanity Has Learned Nothing

I'm not into the Royal family at all, but it's disgusting that they would exhibit racism for the world to witness.

Utterly disgusting and disappointing.

16. BBC DJ fired after posting chimpanzee Twitter photo about royal baby

18. It's racism...Look at the Windward scandal...

Have many friends and family that grew up there..

3. And why are we to believe that the Duchess' staff didn't...

insult her? Why are they the ones the family backs? The Duchess is an American Black woman who I'm betting isn't taking any snide, British, racist crap, which is why the couple lives in America now.

The family looks like petty racists behind this. And remember the one royal who wore the blackamoor brooch to a party, a direct insult to the Duchess.

5. US racism originally came from Great Britain in colonial days

It didn't arrive in the post-Civil War immigration from central and eastern Europe.

7. The British Empire was built on racism and slavery

Very little has changed.
I detest all royals - everywhere.
Ask queenie (and the British press) about her son Andrew and get back to me.
These are monsters and I will never understand people's (who claim to love democracy) obsession with them.
You cannot have democracies and monarchies - choose one. I believe in democracy.

8. I dunno, this bullying stuff is serious business

People get hurt!

9. I don't think we "mirror" the Brits that closely. Didn't we recently vote out our fascist

leader? I like to point that out to my Brit friends and ask them why they continue to let BOJO destroy their country. And don't get me started on the Brit Royals. On a daily basis
I read stories in The BBC and Guardian about things like The Queen's Privilege that lets
royals have a veto on proposed governmental policies.

Thanks for reminding me that Meaghan Is Black! Pardon me if I don't swoon at that
information. I think she's as cute as a bugs ear and I wish her and Harry well, though for
people who say all they want is privacy they're sure in the news a lot.

Oh well, anywhere you go it's people who are causing trouble. The Brit media brings a lot
of grief to The Royal Family and Brit Politicians. And that's good.

[Boomerproud]

14. The Brit media are no heroes.

They're shit-stirrers and liars.

[abqtommy]

15. Of course they're not heroes but they do have some attributes the U.S. media would do

well to imitate. At least that's how I see it.

12. Hey, we mirror the racism and hypocrisy of EVERY part of the world

we came from, including this continent. Nothing overly special about the royal family, including Nazi sympathies among some members back when.

As for what's happening now, the Buckingham Palace contingent are acting like the dysfunctionals who expose themselves for exploitation on Dr. Phil. Yuck! What's the world coming to?

[Wounded Bear]

13. Racism and its corollary classism is pretty universal...

Yeah, we still have residual vestiges of those things residing in our national DNA from England, but whatever.

Not really concerned about the royal family. Last I heard, we don't have one, and just rejected a wannabe last November.
