her marrying Harry has exposed the under the surface racism of British society, and some Americans are falling for the Brit criticism of her.

It's all bullshit. Why should she accept Brit society's sneering attitude that she should just shut up, be quiet you're living a privileged life but you're Black and inferior. Deal with it.

I don't blame her. What people are forgetting is she's a Black American woman who grew up here and knows of MLK, Fannie Lou Hamer, Rosa Parks, the whole civil rights movement and doesn't have to take that racist shit of being sneered down at and told to be quiet and take it.

She and Harry, supporting his wife, got our of Dodge and my hat is off to them.
