Why does everyone scream racism when they even remotely critique mm? Here’s a thought for you- Michelle Obama, an Ivy League educated attorney is classy. Meghan, an educated but thirsty actress is not. Using people then cutting them out of your life is not classy. Cutting out your clueless dad who you lauded praises on and gushed about is not classy. Writing on bananas to sex workers is not classy .

You name one black woman who you deem as classy and think that means you aren’t racist?! That’s the equivalent of someone who says, “I can’t be racist, I have black friends.”

Here is why ppl scream racism, bc KM is not better or classier than MM however ppl are fighting hard to prove that she is. Why?! Bc she looks similar to you and other posters. You relate more to her bc she’s white. MM is brown and while you don’t want to admit it, deep down you feel some way that she married a white prince. So you find anything you can to prove she is awful. That way you can justify your hatred. Bc you don’t know either of them but the side you take is of the white woman who is actually no different than the brown woman. In fact in comparison to charitable efforts and events KM has been deemed lazy but, so what, she dresses more dowdy and takes pictures of her children so she is down to earth.

What?

The kardashians are white and they are not classy.

Oprah is black, and she is classy.

Lindsay Lohan isn't classy. Neither is Britney Spears.

Michelle Obama and Condeleeza Rice are classy. So is Phylicia Rashad. And (I'm blanking on her first name) Something Ross, the mom on Blackish.

We could do this all day.

You are unhinged. You have no clue what I look like or who I am. Not that it matters but I’m not white and MM is MUCH lighter than I am. You make assumptions based on your own biases and preconceived ideas about racism and these women. I make a point not to pit the women against each other, but you and your cohort of MM superfans do. The fact is MMs OWN former friends have bad things to say about her... no one is judging her or “hating” her on fantasy made up stuff. You aren’t going to convince anyone to love MM as much as you do with your troll like vitriol and rude attitude - so feel free to stop With the angry posts. By the way - MM is doing just fine- she doesn’t need you defending her.

Middleton's parents are new to money, but they got their kids exposed to all the things people with money do in England. That added polish early enough in Kate's life to make a difference.
Her parents are NOT from a high social class, they aren't well educated. Also, Kate's siblings can't seem to latch onto the idea of keeping it clean.

Meghan's parents are from a similar background socially, not very well educated. However, they did not acquire the amount of money that Kate's family did. They did put Meghan in the best schools that they could afford. Meghan led a life in Hollywood, which almost always compromises a person's ability to stay "clean" and sophisticated. The bad roles and the obligatory divorces are hard to shake. Meghan's family, excluding her mother and ex husband, is a disgrace.

Meghan takes more risk with fashion, as Sarah Ferguson did. One day, she might regret it. However, as Kate plays it safe, her style is a bit boring.That said, the British public doesn't need to be reminded all the time about how much they are funding her wardrobe.

Unhinged...The DCUM response when someone strikes a nerve and doesn’t agree with them. You can try to convince everyone here that MM is “lighter” than you but please Your response and original post says it all about exactly what you look like and the person you are.

You bashed this woman and claim not to pit women, umm ok. You claim a post is angry when yours does nothing but demean others. Keep going. You’re oh so classy the way you try to claim MM isn’t.

Why? Bc she isn’t living up to your ideas of what a woman should be? I haven’t seen any articles of her exchanging money for sex. However, what do you do for a living? How many past sexual relationships have you had? What charitable work are you involved in?

Based on what? Having been divorced? An actress? Nothing.

It’s because she’s a mixed-race woman who took the spot that belonged to a white woman - wife of a British prince.

Because Megan is black.

I think saying its a little ivory tower is agreeing that it is a bit tone deaf. But I would not at all say that a person making an overture towards trying to say something nice to sex workers is classless.

She disagrees - https://www.instyle.com/news/meghan-markle-banana-messages-offensive-sex-worker

"People out here struggle to eat and sleep and she gifts us some words on a piece of fruit," said a woman who goes by the name Nikki to the British newspaper The Sun. “She has the means to help us more than that. It’s offensive, you know.”

I agree. I understand that the banana is probably a better fruit upon which to write, considering its peel. However, I doubt a sex worker wants to see - "You are strong." - on something that resembles a penis.

so yeah, classless

So one person disagrees? You can find one person to disagree with anything. Many people in fact. I said I thought it was a little ivory tower and I still do, but that is a far cry from an example of a classless person who deserves to be raked over the coals of the british press day after day after day.

Even PH and QEII have noticed this. Harry wrote a scathing letter to the press about their treatment of her that was absolutely blessed by the Queen.

You can be a supporter. Great

I don't respect her. She's not the brightest.
And yes, "inspirational" messages on a banana to sex workers is tacky.

She doesn’t need your respect bc it means absolutely nothing. However, maybe you should get out there and help sex workers. Where is your charity? Where will you be this Saturday helping them? How do you continue to help them?

No
I don't work with sex workers. But if I did, a banana doesn't cut it. I do, however, work with kids - and CPS for all of us is on speed dial. So I know a "tad" bit about abuse . . .

How do you help victims of abuse? By posting inspirational sayings on FB?

Take it down a notch

Suggest you read some British fashion magazines, such as Hello, where Kate and Meghsn are considered the same. Two stylish somewhat young women who appear at events of interest in the UK. It is only “the Americans” who try to overanalyze and politicize their roles. Just let them be who the Brits want them to be and stop interfering in another country’s celebrities.

We have plenty of horrid celebrities in the States who need your attention and judgments.

I’m going to say, having been a “street kid”, and having had to use sex for payment, even though I wasn’t a “sex worker”.. those messageswould have gotten me through many days a little more easily.

Yes, I would have loved money and more resources in my pocket, but there were many days I needed to not feel so alone, judged, and feeling like I was worthless. I used to feel like the world was a grey place, inaccessible to me. I would have said I was fine, believing the whole time I had to do it on my own. I’m still that way, to this day.

There were many days I literally forgot I was a person, and would have likely rejected “real” help, because I didn’t think I was deserving of it. So yeah, a message on a banana, no matter how trite it might seem to someone who has never lived that way, can make an impact. I would have read it, on my own, and realized someone meant it for me. It may have given me a little hope on those really dark days.

You have no idea if it will help, or if it won’t, but it costs nothing more than a few seconds of time.

Yes, a napkin or a sticky note would have been great too, but there was also a time I didn’t get to have “possessions” because I didn’t have a home. I carried what I couldn’t, and left what I couldn’t.

FWIW, sex workers often don’t get to have “things”. A personal note in their pocket could get them beaten, especially if their pimp found it and thought they were in a relationship or something similar where their keeper was not getting a cut.

Because you’ve all worked with people doesn’t mean you seem to “get” what some of the realities are. It’s not the movies.
