Stephen Colbert went after the British royal family for being "OK" with Prince Andrew's Jeffrey Epstein ties but not OK with Meghan Markle's blackness

Now why is that?
Let me think for a moment. Hmmm...give me a second here. Okay, could be this:
Elder White man, a Royal, diddles with little girls. Boys will be boys.
Young Black woman, a Royal, speaks the truth about racism aimed at her and little Archie.
Plain as night and day or just black and white.

Added into this situation is the royal family and hierarchy and history of centuries?
I say, let them sort it out.

Interesting that I am watching Don Lemon as we speak. Lindsey screaming about reparations and Tucker spewing his racist shit.
I don't think sex with a minor could be considered as " Involved in human being relationships with all their complexities?" That is not a relationship. Andrew is guilty of that. It is why he went into hiding. So is the Royal family guilty of racism.

May take a generation to rectify that?
What I was trying to say was Meghan may just possibly be an asshole? Who knows. Consider that first. She as a human being. Whether she is white, yellow, brown or black. She is an outsider to centuries of royal family lineage.
She may be telling the truth or she may be a liar. But human being first.

(83,654 posts)Thanks for the first part of your post. Males always get special treatment and protection.
As for Meghan, she could be a liar and an asshole? Then that makes Prince Harry a liar and an asshole as well. One can't be without the other being called the same. He has stood firmly by her side. He has stood firmly with his half black son and has broken his relationship with his family. It has everything to do with them being black. She is not an outsider, SHE is Black.

(42,770 posts)clue who is truthful, nor would anyone who wasn't there, living it. We just don't know.
Totally agree... If she's a jerk, he probably is too. Or both are telling the truth?
Made mistake of watching him on James Corbin. Not impressed at all. May be coloring my unimportant opinion. Just intuition only... something not ringing true about both of them.
