I don't care about him and never heard of him until the dickhead posted that racist meme on twitter.

What I am saying is that posting a monkey picture to depict a mixed race baby is a racist act. Simple.as ABC. It's not different from throwing banana at a Blackman.
Stop talking out of emotions and check the background of the man before quoting me.

I followed the whole thing very closely when it happened and this is incident is not an example of why British people are not racist, which is how Sassysure was using it.

That shyte is racist. No need to suger coat it or down play it. He was probably drunk when he made that tweet.
Nobody is downplaying anything.

Go and research "Danny Baker" and his history of lampooning upper class people with silly memes.

Peoples actions should be taken in context. He was clearly not going out of his way to be racist.

I am only pointing out that the whole fiasco shouldnt be used as an example of why the British press has not been racist against Meghan. Its a red herring.

When that comedian made fun of their new born baby, he was sacked. People called for his sack immediately.
British people attacked him. They defended Meg and the baby.
That man didn't see it coming actually. He later apologised. I think they took it farther than sacking him.
That dude wasnt even being racist, he just made an insensitive comment that ended up looking racist because the baby has black heritage. He uses monkey memes all the time but just make an unfortunate mistake that led to his being sacked.

British racism is more subtle and underhanded than outwardly calling somebody a monkey, which most civilised people agree is unacceptable.

It doesnt mean that Meghan has not suffered criticism that was connected with her race.

Meghan is still a bad influence and they have not tried the royal way long enough.

I am sure if Meghan tried a little harder to blend (wore cloths more appropriate, wore hats when she needed to, dedicate their son as required, announced his birth and all their other little idiosyncrasies), the media would have backed off after a while.

After the queen is gone, there would be a open backlash among the family.

Meghan is trying hard NOT to endear herself with them and she doesn't even have the support of a stable family in her own folks.
Now this is true.

Normally I would argue this and get all kinds of crazy people quoting me but the problem is that I am still not totally sure that doing all that would have precluded the departure.

Dude doesnt want to be there and the royals are also very dysfunctional. Being the "spare" sucks and has sucked throughout history.

I believe they are trying to exercise some control over their own fate instead of waiting around until the Queen goes, at which point they may still be trapped by protocol. Otherwise they should have stayed longer. In fact I would be the first person to call them unserious

If you already knew her behavior is not good, then why did you say we should not make her character flaws a focus, when in fact it also contributed to how she is perceived by the public?

Come, I no dey for your usual cyclical style of argument abeg. Lol cheesy

Harry's life has always been Harry's life, she came in and instead of making him a better person, she is encouraging his rebellious behavior. I thought men get married to be better version of themselves...

You're the one who doesn't get it.
Public perception is just one aspect of the issue.

You dont know whether the rebellion could have been worse and shes the one toning it down.

You mention Harry's life but dont want to acknowledge the accompanying situational mechanics that have contributed to the current explosion.

Everything worked together to make her situation worse, including character flaws.

She already had the baggages, stereotypes, and family history of disunity working against her. The least she could have done is to act in the exact way the British people would make her their beloved.
Those people know they pay for her lifestyle as a Duchess and deserve to see a semblance of what they are paying for.

Like seriously, have you even sat down to really observe her mannerisms in public? Don't just type because you want to type.

Watch how Diana acted with commoners, watch how Kate acts with commoners, then compare them to how Meghan acts.
Unless you just want to be unnecessarily biased or you lack the ability to observe body language & facial expression, only then will you conclude she behaves the way a courtier ought to.
I already acknowledged that some of her behaviour is not good, so I dont see your point.

The fact that you ignored what I wrote and framed your entire comment around Meghan instead of taking the announcement in context of Harry's life in general just proved my premise that you are mixing issues.

Well he obviously lied. A guy who does not view you in a sexual light won't invite you to his house.
He was not lying but blaming Nigerian women for a well-established social phenomenon is plain stupid.

If most people (men) already associate home visits with sex, how is it our fault?
Foreign AffairsRe: Harry And Meghan Will No Longer Use Official Titles - Buckingham Palace by midnighter(f):
People here are conflating issues

The fact that the two of them are stepping back from their royal duties is not 100% related to her being stubborn, arrogant or whatever.

I myself dont necessarily agree with all that she does, but the question is this:

Dont men married to "appropriate" women also feel like breaking free? Is it only "nice" women who deserve a happy life with their husbands, free of misogyny and racism?

Meghans character flaws are not supposed to be the whole focus here and its actually our Nigerian tendency towards blaming women for everything that is blurring the lines

That she says she ties smoking to irresponsibility doesn't make it a Nigerian thing. It's her personal opinion and there will be whites that hold the same opinion.
Thank you. Smoking is socially unacceptable all over the planet but these goons with inferiority complex will keep calling Nigerians as if we're the only ones who cant stand the smell smh

Just like ladies have codes ( green light, not interested etc) men have codes too.
'Come and see me at home' means 'I like you and want to get sexual. Let's do it at my place'

So of course a guy must 'touch' you when you visit.

Do women really not get this ?
Somebody here opened a thread cursing Nigerian ladies and calling us all sorts of names for refusing to visit a dude at home, that visiting doesnt necessarily mean sex and we should be like girls in other countries with better mentality

Now look what you wrote smh, my fellow babes shouldnt be deceived! Nothing like mentality here

Smoking has no associate with being responsible!

Not a lot of people smoke, but lots ain’t even responsible!

Make I tell you one coded truth!

About 70% of the most responsible men in the whole world are smokers!
Stop spewing propaganda in public, smoking is disgusting end of story.

It's similar to what @chukwugoziegi : said. they decided to announce it first and he had no choice but to sign if he wanted to keep a lid on it.

Basically, they strong armed him into abdicating
If you say so
Foreign AffairsRe: Harry And Meghan Will No Longer Use Official Titles - Buckingham Palace by midnighter(f): 4:24pm On Jan 19, 2020
raybaba97:
Then you didn't read the right books.

They offered him so many alternatives that it was mindbogglingly that they could wait so long for a decision.

What I'm trying to get at is that you should not make it sound like he did it because he wanted to. He was very much against abdicating even till the end.

That's why I called him a coward. If he had chosen love over duty, he would have been a brave man, or duty over love too.
You accused me of being unaware of history and then instead of enlightening me, wrote a whole reply full of vaguery that didnt explain anything. Maybe its just your writing style but i struggled to glean anything concrete from what you said.

What were the alternatives?

Even if he hesitated, its on record that he told them that he was prepared to abdicate.
Foreign AffairsRe: Harry And Meghan Will No Longer Use Official Titles - Buckingham Palace by midnighter(f):
chukwugoziegi:
They bullied the queen into stepping down as senior members of the Royal family and she had no choice than to agree with them. They announced the whole thing on Social media before telling her or any member of the family.
The Queens statement said they had been discussing it for months

I think the royal advisers were trying to blow them off which is why H&M quickly announced it before they would have a chance to block them.

Why then did he refuse to abdicate when Parliament offered him that way out
When did he refuse to abdicatehuh

As far as I am aware he was told that he could could not retain the throne whilst being married to the woman and he signed the abdication letter in the presence of his mother and siblings less than a year after assuming the throne

It's not making mouth. She was an olosho because she was twice divorced and had two other lovers while dating Edward, including a Nazi.

His father even mentioned wishing George had been born first on his death bed. That should tell you how bad he was. He was a racist with strong sympathies for Nazi Germany.

The guy didn't have a choice in any of it so stop making it seem like it was his choice to leave.
Lol! And what about all the letters he would write to his relatives, complaining how bored and trapped he felt inside the palace?

There is a lot of evidence showing that he didnt want to be king at all. He preferred his luxurious lifestyle to regal responsibilities

Cletus77:
If it didn't matter, Harry would not have dropped the titles. If I were them, to avoid a royal palava, I'll keep my title, retain or relinquish some priveleges and move on, no matter what anyone thinks
You do realise that they still own their titles right? They just cant use them in public.

The reason they are removing titles and relinquishing public funds is to stop the British people from complaining about their commercial interests. This will allow them to pursue business deals without being associated with the family brand.

You are mixing up priorities if you think they should risk everything they are working towards just to drag title. Either that or you havent fully understood the situation. What is title compared to freedom?

This was even a very mild compromise; some people would have had them removed completely. Its just because they dont want to break the family up and because he is not abdicating like Edward VIII

Meghan herself na case. The insult and bashing stems from the fact that the Queen and most royal family members doesn't like Meghan's attitude and pushy behavior. Harry himself never felt he belonged to the family sef, it's not the issue of being next in line to the throne or not, Meghan only entered the picture and accelerated it.

But seriously this position he took will only piss them off more and more, most especially the Queen. They won't see it as Harry's decision, they'll see it as Meghan's and we all know they don't like the way she acts at times
Yes, we are saying the same thing.

As long as they themselves know whose decision it was, it doesnt really matter what everybody else thinks

As you said, the Queen is not to be wholly blamed, but they're other craze Harry would have invented that'll work besides i don't really see how he is being neglected.

Dropping the royal titles is a no no for me, it makes the speculations that he is being largely manipulated by Meghan who love spending and pampering alot true undecided

In the end, I see no point they're trying to prove because this act won't make them to be "un-neglected" if ur assumption is entirely true
If you remember, they refrained from giving Archie a royal title when he was born. So title or no title is clearly not their point.

Theyre trying to get their family into normality which makes sense because they are extremely unlikely to even smell the throne. So all the insult is not worth it and plus Harry never even liked being there

I dont think he has been manipulated; moreover even if she was nice and shy instead of pushy and demanding they still would have found a way to insult her.

Thats what happens when a parent keeps ignoring their child's complaints until the person blows up and does something very drastic (Though I blame the royal advisers/courtiers for that and not necessarily the Queen).

See how the whole thing was resolved in less than a week as soon as he dropped his "popular nice guy" persona and forged strongly ahead.

Harry has always been rebellious right from time. He only now found a support for more rebellion!
Perhaps he has evidence they killed his mother Dianna for real!
Exactly. He didnt even want to be there in the first place plus they began to bully Meghan and even small Archie

They just had to oblige him because he already dropped that baby in Canada. Otherwise they would have seized Archie's passport
