I'm not sure I understand what Oprah is doing. Is she worried about being shut out of future BRF access? I would think she would know that she'll probably never get access to anyone but Meghan and Harry in the future.

I’m sure she knows only Meghan and Harry will talk to her now - not the BRF. Imo she’s just being honest: Oprah probably was surprised they decided to accuse their close family of racism on international TV - without offering a shred of evidence. Most people wouldn’t drop that sort of atomic bomb on their family unless they hated their family.

...Or unless their family failed to protect them from hatred. This would be particularly true if the hatred included sources within the family.

Why would any grown adult ever expect protection from others? With all the privileges that Harry and Meghan have enjoyed, it would feel so sad if they still feel entitled to more as if they are children. They’re big kids now with more privilege than anyone who has ever posted on DCUM. If they are still feeling like persecuted victims, there is something wrong with them.

It’s unfortunate when people who apparently have never experienced the protections of a supportive family denigrate caring as privilege.

But they’ve cut extremely lucrative deals since then. Why would he still need to mooch off Pop?

Because PP can’t accept that they’re doing fine. All this about their finances is old news. There’s a poster that keeps insisting that because a fan site figured out that Meghan was wearing jeans, that means she was working with paparazzi to sell a few thousand dollars in merchandise. Meghan is the only celebrity on the planet who has full control over every fan site created about her. Who knew?

Some people can’t accept that since quitting royal life, H&M have negotiated a 75 million deal with Spotify and 200 million with Netflix. THAT is how they’re supporting themselves.

lol. Are the poster who keeps trying to tell us how beautiful light-skinned women have it the worst when it comes to racism?

You don’t think light skinned black people are racists’ target ?

Where do you see that Oprah is distancing herself from the interview!? Really determined to see what is not there, aren’t you?

You should start a fanfic book with all your conspiracy theories!

And the obsession and emulation (for some) begins...Y'all are comical. Lol

Slavery? Really?

The envy of some white women towards black women who are the object of a white man's desire. Yes, really.

You sound kinda racist tbh. I would suggest you try not to view everything in life through the prism of race. That’s what racists do.

Not PP but with respect to what she(?) is saying about slavery has been extensively researched and published. There was very, very widespread rape of enslaved African woman during slavery that, at least in the south, continued until maybe the 1950s (because black women couldn’t exactly expect a jury of their peers).

Feel free to start a thread about enslaved African women if you’d like. I don’t think it’s particularly relevant to the plight of an incredibly privileged and enormously wealthy, white-passing Hollywood starlet. But I’m sure Meghan, who enjoys nothing more than to embrace a narrative of victimhood for herself, would love the comparison!

Wow.

Every single female member of parliament from all parties agreed that Meghan was being attacked in racist and colonial undertones. Every female member of Parliament called out the racism she was facing.

That’s a polite way of describing what PP wrote. Your insistence that these colonial undertones are okay is part of the problem.

Meghan's problem is that she's American. Yes, being biracial gave the tabloids an easy target to use against her. If she were white, they would have used something else.

If you don't understand the prejudice against Americans/non-Brits, then you don't know any Brits.

I agree with this. Unpopular opinion but she doesn't look black, and the press jumped all over her relationship with her mother who - surprise! - does. Perfect fodder. The whole thing is baiting people to scream racism and it's working.

She may not look Black to White people, but she definitely does not look like your typical white woman to POC who are use to MGM and bi-racial people in their communities. For those white people who thought MM was a typical, white American woman, the media made it a point to let you know she was not one of you. The first thing the British newspapers printed was she was a Blackish woman straight out of Compton. That was the code.

The BRF did speak up for Meghan. They put forward statements for her.

Beyond that, the usual way that they address problems is with silence. They gave her the same courtesy they give to other members of the family - by being above the media.

You didn't notice any of this...

DP: Yes, silence has often been effective in the face of racism. At least that’s what some people like to claim. /s

DP. In the past few years, Meghan has become enormously powerful, wealthy, and influential. If she’s been suffering from vicious racism this whole time, then lots of us will want to volunteer for some racial discrimination.

It minimizes actual racism when people pretend Meghan has been suffering from immense racism. Many people have experienced serious racism, but their lives don’t look a lot like Meghan’s.

I know you are smart enough to know that does not insulate a person fully from racism. Oprah is also very wealthy and influential, but that did not prevent ugly racism from rearing its nasty head against her in many directions. She has opined about it, and most people know about the Hermes incident. Clarence Thomas spoke at the National Bar Association many years ago, wherein he spoke of being pulled over several times for "driving while Black". Nothing has stopped the nasty, disgusting pictures and statements comparing Michelle Obama to an ape or horse. Let's not mention the extra security the SS had and has to provide to Barack simply because of the threats he receives due to his race. I won't even try to address your immense racism comment. It's like if you a person does not experience "for whites only", lynching, physical acts, etc. then racism is not so bad and no need to complain. You are wrong, every little knick and cut adds up and it is tiring, frustrating, exhausting and depressing.

Sadly happens every day. No need to write fiction. You don’t even realize you are part of the problem. Racism denier.

They are looking more desperate by the day. Should go underground for awhile to preserve some of the mystique, or what’s left of it. Veering into D list territory for now.

Here’s a PSA for everyone triggered by Meghan’s experience with racism.

Racism manifests itself in different ways in different environments. The most telling thing is that even all the wealth and privilege in the world cannot protect you from it.

Oprah is one of the wealthiest women in the world. Yet, even she was kicked out of a high end store in Paris because of her skin color.

Meghan Markle is literally a princess and she still had to deal with racist press. The most egregious was the BBC comparing her newborn to a monkey.

These experiences are relevant because success, wealth and power are often considered the solution to fighting racism. This underscores the need for greater societal change.

I want the kind of racism that Oprah and Meghan have. They are rich beyond belief and have time to complain behind their castle walls!

Meghan is not literally a princess. She is a duchess.

DP. I mean my grandmother was very light skinned and still received death threats when she took her employer to court for equal pay. Little known fact that during the civil rights movement a lot of light skinned, middle class African-Americans were recruited to be the face of certain fights. For example, Rosa Parks was not the first woman to do what she did. Claudette Colvin did the same thing almost a year earlier but because she was darker, unmarried and pregnant Civil Rights Leaders downplayed what she did.

This is like saying all the Hollywood actresses harassed by Jeffery Epstein didn’t actually experience misogyny because they’re rich and famous.

Gwenyth Paltrow is extremely wealthy. Same for Alyssa Milano.

Do you think it minimizes the fight for women’s rights when they complains about their treatment?

Abd if you’re supportive of wealthy, powerful white women speaking out against harassment, then you may need to reconsider why you find it so offensive for a wealthy, privileged black woman to speak out against racism. Your visceral reaction that she should know her place is exactly why her voice is needed.
