I think all of you Trumpistas are nutz. But i agree on one thing. I have no sympathy for somebody who does what she did. Stevie wonder could see this coming. The Royal family is Anglo Saxon Germanic. And that's the way they want to keep it and will do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Period.

It’s unfortunate what is happening with them but, for the reasons above, they should have anticipated it. But then, Meghan is mixed as it seems like her white family accepted her. So perhaps she thought it would be similar.

Odd timing and all, but I suspect it's about building their own brand and making money. Not buying her stupid sob story, she's channeling Diana to play people. I think they are rather boring, but whatever.

Woke-scolding someone in their 90's for comments they've made and opinions they've had all their lives (and probably grew up hearing) is a complete waste of time. They have absolutely no reason to listen to a "calling out".

I watched it and they did not say racist. They said there were meetings about the possible color of the baby. What do you think this was about???

As a "whitey" who didn't grow up in the US but in a country with no history of slavery or colonization (Canada), I can honestly say that some of the most shockingly racist people I've ever encountered in the almost 24 years I've lived in the US...are Black Americans.

Not African immigrants. Not Caribbean immigrants. Not Black Canadians or Black Brits (I've met a few in the US), but Black Americans.

That you seem to want to rush to stereotype "whites" and assume the worst of them (I had never officially been a color until I moved to the race-obsessed US) is an example of what I'm talking about.

I'm probably more liberal than either of you are, but many American liberals are just downright "nutz," too. The drama never ends. And Harry should have seen this coming.

This is how attitudes don't change.

We have a responsibility to educate those who grew up in different times.

I don't really care about this story mind, abolish the monarchy. Horrible leeching institution that's way past it's sell by date.

That may be her next ploy. Watch. Still time left on the clock. The game's not over.

Why did you quote me?

This has to do with the Royal family, not whites in general. Read my post. I clearly stated that it’s seems Meghan’s white family was accepting and perhaps she expected the same. However, this is the Royal family - different people, different legacy.

I am not Black American and do agree that Black Americans can be racist, just like any other group. Not sure your reason for that comment.

I am not liberal or conservative. Spare me that nonsense as well.

She had her picture taken outside Buckingham palace when she was a teenage , but her not knowing anything about the Royals or the palace , not even googling about Harry , must have been quite a surprise to find out who he was and where he lived...what a load of crap,
