Why Is It That When Black People Talk About Racism, White Folks Respond By Gaslighting?
Meghan Markle on my mind.
I wrote a very short article last week about Prince Charles being outed as the royal who sought to enquire about baby Archie’s complexion.
When this was pointed out by the duke and duchess in their interview with the Queen of talk shows, it went down like lead ballon with viewers all over the world and rightly so.
In the comments section of my post, a few people attempted to defend the heir to the throne, stating that there was nothing malicious about his question, that it was entirely innocuous.
A prime example captured below.
What’s worse, I read a profoundly nonsensical article on this platform by someone who went all out in disparaging Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, and went as far as calling them liars. The post was a bit reminiscent of the bile that’s emanated from Piers Morgan in the last few months.
