As for those saying Meghan made a prince to leave his throne. Note that Harry has always wanted a life away from the monarchy. Even before he met Meghan!

Thank you. He has been hinting at it for so many years but they keep fixating on Meghan

Ladycewhy:
perception palnted by the white man. I wont be surprised if little Archie is classified as black

He is classified as mixed-race or mixed heritage, as is Meghan.

Anyway maybe I misunderstood up your intention, I thought you just wanted to know where the terminology came from.

Ladycewhy:
diluted ? Lol and who then get to tell you how dilluted it has be for a mixed person to be referred to as white? You or the white man?

You asked a question and I'm just answering you as to where the perception comes from

baby124:
All their reporting and criticism of her has been racist from the beginning till today. They can try to deny it but we all know it’s true. Only foolish and unexposed will side with them. People who have lived in a white society know how the veiled hate and psychological racism works.

Loud it!

Ladycewhy:
Its annoying. Why does the white man alone get to make the rules? They made these classifications and now want to bend the rules with mixed people cos they doesn't want "browning " of their superior race

If a white person mixes with any other race, the children automatically look more like that race than white.

This is the case for Chinese, Indian, black, Arab, everybody. Thats why they categorise it that way, because their race immediately becomes diluted when they mix.

baby124:
They even claimed that the palace has black people WORKING there. No better than slaves. That makes it for not racist. Can you just imagine the level the out black people on? She’s a senior royal. Those black people working there are nothing better than shadows. She’s not working there, she’s a ROYAL! Just shows all the bias and hate I think heir minds. Sick people. That was just wrong.

The chimp example was a very good example. Someone was enjoying and riding on the excitement of all the hate that he lost composure and went just a step further. They were playing psychological games with her but that guy just pushed just a little bit further. It was condemned but he was reacting rightly to what he thought was the undercurrent at the time.

If you see the video, they now jumped to point out that the man was immediately sacked for the monkey stuff.

Thats what they will keep using it for; to say that because the man was sacked, the British establishment cant possibly be racist. Whilst ignoring the billion and one other things that have happened. They will keep using that extreme example to discount other aspects of Meghans treatment. The context of the monkey incident was not a racist one in the first place but people keep using it in the wrong way.

But anyway, the message of the video was my point; people dont want to admit that her treatment has a racial element to it just because the bullying is hard to write down on paper. Which nobody in Britain does anyway! Look what happened when that woman refused the Gambian guy accommodation because "African cooking stinks". Even though they may agree with her that it does, most people would never come out and say it for fear of being vilified. So waiting for people to say something stupid about Meghan isnt the main issue which that man was driving at

Yes, the doctor now pointed out that black people working in the palace has nothing to do with being the only black family member lmao

baby124:
Don’t mind him. He knows all he’s saying is bullshit! When she called out the example of Meghan and Harry’s child being likened to a Chimp, they say it’s inappropriate talk. Not racism . Crazy people. Tueh!!!

They are shameless. The worst is that they think everybody is stupid and can’t see them for who they really are. How a group of people can constantly carry, perpetuate and conceal hate on a large scale is almost like a collective mental illness. Then they lie shamelessly to cover it up.

I followed the chimp case and I do not believe that it was a direct example of racism which is why I am happy that she went into actual details apart from that and made them think deeper.

People are waiting for somebody to come out and call her a black b!tch before they will admit that she has suffered racist treatment. The whole thing is more complicated than an out of place monkey picture

baby124:
Very intelligent Nigerian woman. She kept on point and kept calling them out. How can anyone see what Meghan has suffered in the press and call it unconscious bias. That was brutal and wicked racism. Extreme bullying. Nothing she did was ever ever going to be good enough. I am all about keeping a family unit but not at the detriment of the peace and sanity of some members. While others keep quiet or quietly promote the bad treatment.

The man now asked her if she had concrete examples which we know is a loaded question because you cant put a condescending attitude, intimidation and subtly nasty language into words.

When you refuse to bow down and kiss their feet you will be seen as the "aggressive" black woman and they will sneak around looking for ways to provoke you and make you look like a monster

baby124:
Prince Harry decided it was for the best. For him and his family. I don’t think it is anybody’s business. He is not the first by the way! A prince abdicated the throne for love and even his divorcee wife did not face this level of hatred.

Harry is not needed for the throne. He is free to live anywhere in the world. Did he say he cut ties with his family? He’s only moving to another country!

Thank you! I dont know where they keep bringing all these things from. As if British people dont move away from their families.

Theyre even the first to move to Australia or France when theyre old enough

mbhs139:
I understand your point clearly and quiet appreciate your insight on this matter and you really did a great job explaining the whole scenerio. As for the person you're responding to, you see, perhaps you aren't a ń igerian or you didn't grow up there. That's how nonsensical we are. We lack decorum when it comes to public discusssion, especially in the Social Media space. I also understand what he/she is trying to say but the obvious fact is he lacks the power of comprehension, so that'll normally make him happy for someone who is saddened by the turn of event. What an irony? It's like saying I'm "I'm happy for you for the loss of your father"

Did you listen to that speech?

"I also know that you've come to know me well enough over all these years to trust that the woman I chose as my wife upholds the same values as I do....Once Meghan and I were married, we were excited, we were hopeful and we were here to serve. For those reasons it brings me great sadness that it has come to this..."

Does the fact that he is "saddened" by what has happened mean that he is not happy with the decision he has made?

How can somebody just pluck two words "deeply saddened" and randomly paste here and you swallowed it

Anybody who really wants to understand how the subtleties of British racism have worked with relation to Meghan should listen to these impassioned remarks by Dr. Mos-Shogbamimu.

"People say "It is criticism", but it's criticism steeped in racism."

RunThins:
I think you totally missed the point! Or you are one of those "victim of 400 years of conditioning. The man has programmed my conditioning. Even my conditioning has been conditioned.”(Chameleon Street by Wendell B. Harris). I would like to believe it's the former! All that is is nothing but nuance racism, everyone who's lived, studied or worked in the west have experienced it one way or the other. Go ask around in the fortune 500 corporate world, a Caucasian is smart and confidence, while a black man is uppity and headstrong for having the same qualities. Re-read those headlines and what you see are two people doing the same thing, but one is said to be "smart and confidence" and the other "arrogant and disrespectful". The reason for that is nothing but racism; those headlines above show nothing but the racism of the British (Caucasians in general) people.

Thank you so much. People dont seem to understand how subtle and understated British racism really is.

They keep arguing that all must be well just because they havent come out and screamed "I HATE HER BECAUSE SHE'S BLACK" when everybody knows that they would never do that. They will just keep making you feel uncomfortable and inferior until you burst.

The word you used here is "nuanced", which is what they keep refusing to understand!

British people are 10 times worse than Americans because they will go underground and be messing you up. This is why almost every country where they intervened under the guise of "helping" is now in total chaos.

Please keep educating them.

Midas01:
Meghan is not black. She is very slightly mixed with black and is much more white than she is black. White people do not reserve the right to determine that a person is black black simply because the they have a little black admixture even when it is overwhelmingly evident that they look white.

Look at Meghan, does she look like the typical African? Or African American? Even African Americans who are mostly only about 75% black look much more African and black than Meghan. Stop calling Meghan black she is not.

The language you used here is exactly the language that racists use to justify their warped opinions. I dont know why Nigerians are more racist to themselves than anybody outside smh

Her mother is clearly black. She is half black. That is not a "little admixture".

She hasnt stopped being black just because she doesnt suit your parochial idea of what a "black" person looks like. You dont have her DNA test results, do you?

Stop trying to erase her blackness to prove a point.

Lol, after reading so many funny comments I had to come back and modify; oga next time keep your mouth shut please!

Maybe you should compromise for now. Let him keep the porn but drop the sex chats/prostitutes.

Every time he agrees to stop completely he just changes his method.

Obviously he can't control himself so you can make some concessions to make it easier for him.

sulaak:
You have the mental state of a failed black man.

The old universities were built by Nigerian politician/military in the 60s/70s and they all sent their children to local universities.

Schooling back then was up to scratch and the only people who schooled abroad were those who couldn't hack Nigerian exams.

Now it's the other way around. They just messed the whole thing up

Gwilym:
Yes our parents went to school for free

I think this is the way to go.

Cut out the middle man and funnel money straight from taxes back into education like Germany and Sweden do. At least for public universities

Cantonese:
How has Buckingham university become "prestigious"? Is it no longer an extension of Nigerian universities? That is where it is easy for Nigerians to get admission and the fees are far cheaper than the prestigious universities. OP take your time there.

It had some good reputation some years ago but lost most of its glory.

FIGHT with my fellow babe

FLIGHT from psychotic men who want to finish me with their good for nothing muscle, tufiakwa!

kingdiamond:
It is very obvious that you are jealous of my success . If you wish kill urself . And for you to say that you are very sure that i am in Lagos prove's that you must be an I.M.B.E.C.I.L.E .

Dont mind them sir, we are happy that your issue has been resolved

Pacesetter123:
U dey mind him?Dats why some people can't be a counselor.How can someone shared her private problem with you for solution n u ended up bringing it out to public domain on any slightest provocation.I tire.. ooo

Very bad...there was no provocation ooo... did she mention his monicker anywhere

He just felt bad about his tiny manhood and flared up over nothing mtchew

As much as I laughed and laughed when you said that the dude has a monicker here, anybody who advises you to mention him in this thread is a thief who is trying to destroy your home, kpom kwem

yeyeosoronga:
They have a child to protect now.
That's the difference, and what has changed now.
Harry knows what his cousins (Beatrice and Eugene) have gone through for being spare royals- they are constantly bullied and ridiculed by their press.

Exactly! The way they always find a way to mess Beatrice and Eugenie up no be here. And it may be worse on Archie because he's partly black

You just explained the whole thing

yeyeosoronga:
Piers is an arsehole and wasn't liked by the British people either till he started attacking Megan and voicing their true feelings about having her marrying their prince.
Do you know he has once staged fake pictures about British soldiers committing war crimes? Those pictures were staged and this led to a very long investigation, and of course their military losing the support and confidence of their people.
He's always being a snake and was never liked. All of a sudden, he's now the voice of the people?

He's just a caricature who is relevant because of the politically correct hypersensitive social atmosphere.

I catch him sometimes on youtube, all he does is say the opposite of whatever everybody is "supposed" to say.

Tapping into the "angry white male" market and people in Nigeria are still falling for it smh

yeyeosoronga:
Megan is definitely not perfect, but I don't blame them for saying feck ya to their people.

I simply see her as a woman who knows what she wants, and who has learned over the years to remove herself from toxicity, considering the kind of family she has.

Thank you. People cant seem to look at her flaws in the context of actual events that have happened which may impact Harrys decisions.

Everybody knows that Piers Morgan is a troll but suddenly when it comes to Meghan his word is gospel smh

Do people know how difficult it is to come out of a trailer-trash/ghetto family and be normal? Even your own parents will accuse you of being arrogant just because you dont want to follow their path

Shes not a saint but all the bashing is so unnecessary

raybaba97:
The alternative was a monogenic marriage where he would marry the girl but she would not be Queen. It had never been done in Britain but people were willing to take that compromise with him.

He disagreed and was seeking ways to get both the crown and the woman.

When Parliament realized he was seeking outside support to strongarm them, they forced the issue.

I knew there was something fishy about your comments so I decided not to type too much.

Edward VIII proposed a morganatic marriage which would mean his wife and children wouldnt inherit any title and the Prime Minister and commonwealth blocked him and said that the British tradition wouldnt allow for such.

He wanted to go on radio broadcast and ask the British people for permission to go ahead with the same morganatic marriage and the Prime Minister blocked him again and said that it wasnt proper for the King to use the public to undermine the cabinet.

That was how the whole abdication stuff started.

sassysure:
What are u saying?
He deliberately did that but was surprised it generated negativity.
They do things like that deliberately.
Anyway, it's a bygone.
BBC sacked him.
He apologised.
Case closed.

He calls white people monkeys all the time. Why do you keep ignoring that fact?

If you want racism to be taken seriously then call a spade a spade.

Youre telling me about British people but do you think even a deliberately controversial right-wing British columnist like Piers Morgan or Katie Hopkins would come out and call somebody a monkey to her face?

Its not everybody that is racist please...this is the problem with modern-day hypersensitivity that distracts from the main issue.

Exactly like that thread with the guy who smacked his wife and people ignored the whole background of the story and rushed to call him a woman-beater. Thereby giving misogynists license to make fun of domestic violence victims.

sassysure:
It wouldn't have been racist had the man not known of the situation on ground about to explode.

He knew British people hate Meghan.
Comedians use comedy to pass messages along subtly.
People reacted immediately. Some said he can't be paid with their money yet insulting a new born.
Yes, he knew exactly what he did.
He was just shocked that people didn't swallow the useless joke this time around.

Wait a second. So you seriously believe that a radio broadcaster who has been commentating on football matches for decades deliberately posted a monkey picture of a black person just to make people laugh?

Do you know him? He posts that monkey stuff every time something happens to wealthy people. The post had nothing to do with racism even though it was insensitive.

Anyway my point was that the fact that Britain jumped to Meghans defence doesnt mean that she has not suffered racism.

salford1:
I can quote anyone I like. Nairaland doesnt belong to you.

Brilliant. Dont expect a response after this Keep rushing to label people racist without looking into the details, bye!

salford1:
Why should I check his background and what is so special about it

Every media outlet called his act Racist, and it was indeed racist. That is all that matters.

So stop quoting me if you dont want to look at the full story.
