The women was screaming we are ( Britain) are racist against Meghan Markle, in this tweet above she address us as white folk needing, to educate themselves , screaming her way through the interview and by all accounts has done this on LBC and on GMTV with Philip Scholefield ,
Really,?
The nation took her to their hearts 18 month ago and embraced her but why this silly racism row now erupting?

[Bazile]

Don't you know
She is leading Harry astray

The press ( Piers Morgan) can't have that

The uppity yank coming over here and messing with the head of Harry ; and especially being'black' as well

Oh the cheek of her

[Bobbisox1]

Didn’t have feelings on either side tbh Bazile but watching her scream her way through an interview was ear splitting

[hereIam]

I didn't see the interview, how did Piers handle it ?

[davebro]

Maybe I don't read the relevant papers/blogs/tweets but I can't say I've seen much (or any) racist remarks about Meghan.

I don't really care what they do, I just wish (as they probably do) that H&M would stop being "news". I think the radio news said 9 pages about them in the Mail today - that really is OTT.

(PS. There WAS that picture of a couple with a chimp I recall but that was just crass.)

I don't think 'the nation took her to their hearts 18 months ago and embraced her' is very accurate - there seems to have been a lot of unfavourable remarks since Meghan first appeared. In June 2018, AB had a thread 'Why Is Meghan So Unpopular?'.

[Old_Geezer]

Popular or unpopular there's been no indication that race had anything to do with the situation. Those who try playing the race card are being offensive and should be ashamed themselves.

I am sick of all this race card cobras every time black/ethic etc people do not get their own way. The UK is one of the most tolerant nations in the world, for racism look at Africa, Russia etc.

[Old_Geezer]

...OF...

[Old_Geezer]

IMO those harping on about so called white privilege, and claiming racism is prevalent are merely trying to convince themselves of an excuse for their own feelings of inadequacy.

[ludwig]

I've seen this rude twit before on BBC breakfast. She kept shouting over and interrupting the other person that was being interviewed.

[Bobbisox1]

She was basically ranting and pointing HereIam , piers for his part was shouting back at her telling her she’d screamed the racist card in all interview she’d done and at one point told her to be quiet.
Nical, yes I think we did take her to our heart ( well, the royalists among us did) we watched her marry her Prince and wished them well

[Jackdaw33]

Who is this woman?

[Nical]

Thanks, bobbysox - 'the royalists' isn't quite same as the 'the nation'. And yes, some people did watch the wedding and wish them well. Many other people - including on AB - said 'it's doomed', 'how long will it last?' etc etc.

[hereIam]

I thought Piers wouldn't take it lying down - good for him. Sick to death of the race card being played all the time over this woman. She simply didn't enjoy Royal life, despite all the wealth and privileges and has now got her own way and Harry has followed with his tail between his legs !

[Bobbisox1]

Nical, yes they did and sadly I’m now in agreement with those who said this

[Old_Geezer]

Verizon won't let us get there via telling them to keep their nose out of our data :-(

[naomi24]

Racism my eye! Meghan is the architect of her own destiny.

[emmie]

i have been wary of getting involved in these posts, but i find myself feeling sorry for Meghan and Harry,

[Ellipsis]

Notwithstanding Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, you do have to ask why the attitude over Meghan versus, say, Catherine. Maybe it's racism, maybe it's something else, maybe it's both. This article lays out some of the double standards that have been applied:
