(6,991 posts)A racial component going on with Meghan also that most folks let fly right over their head. I've followed Meghan for several years--before she even met the Prince--and she was always a socially conscious young woman. She was/is a big Pres. Obama supporter as well--a friend of both Michelle & Pres. Obama. Anyway, some of the things I read on various British publications were so viscious, and most definitely racist in nature. So, of course she's not going to like that. Who would? It's more than just marrying a Royal. There most definitely IS a racial component behind the mix in situation with Meghan and she's pissed I'm sure, and I don't blame her for hating racism--even though she has not aluded to it to my knowledge. And many of the comments by people on various British websites when she got married were shameful.

And to keep it real, there are African-Americans who have said that she is NOT black, and that she should just say she's white. NON-black. Gonna be difficult for her to do that, especially since she has an African-American Mom, who raised her to be a strong woman who always remembers where she came from, to always be socially active and to always know that the 'world' is about all of us together here and living in it.
