Why? Tell us instances of racism that you seem to know about from the Royals or their staff. The only examples I know of is someone wondering what H&M's baby will look like (which hasn't been proved and isn't even racist) and Harry wearing a swastika and calling fellow soldiers from Pakistan racist names.

Well?

Considering the Palace made very little of Meghans allegations but have issued a statement very quickly on this leads me to believe they believe there is a need to condemn the words used.

Considering that Meghan and Harry are receiving an award next Tuesday partly for ‘bravely exposing institutional racism within the Royal family’, (Harry’s OWN family with no proof whatsoever of it) in their 17 lie Oprah interview the Royals have to be particularly careful.

The only proven racism I have ever heard of in the family is from Harry himself.

What they are doing; the damage they are trying to cause without any substance is an absolute disgrace. Even most of the US press are scratching their heads and sneering over the award and calling it pure nepotism.

Philip is well documented for making some very public comments that could be construed as racist during his time too :laugh:

I wasn't aware of whatever award they are getting, it doesn't appear to be big news :shrug:.

This is a situation that has happened here today, the lady in question is not a Royal per se so shouldn't be classed as such, BUT it has overshadowed the work Kate and William are doing which is a shame. I just found it interesting the spped in which Kensington Palace commented. Just an observation

H&M said it wasn't Prince Philip (or the Queen) that they were referring to.

There has been quite a bit of news coverage along the lines of:
'Royals don't accept awards, they give them'
'the timing within days of William and Kates visit is suspect'
'guests will pay millions to sit at H&M's table'.
'they have connections to the award givers' (nepotism)

What they do has no bearing on this story really though, my point was I hoped it would not overshadow Kate and Williams USA trip which it obviously is doing at the moment but hopefully it will be resolved by the resignation and Kennsington Palaces statement of condemnation. This incident today, not M &H.

[Beso]

It is rather ironic that the only proof of anything remotely racist from the royal family is a dead mans musings, and his grand sons photographic proof of a love of nazi ideology.

And that's not even bringing up harry nonchalance for repeating racist nicknames.

Harry's like one of those people who cant be racist cause they have different races friends, only it's his wife he uses to back up that claim, rather than Punjab bob, or whatever his army pal was called.

Proper Londoners can tell the difference in accents between east n south london. People born in london are more proud of the area of London they are from than being from london. So I repeat, this woman, if shes so proud of her east london upbringing, would, and infact should, take more offence if someone in her borough thought she came from south London, rather than asking her if she was african because of her dress sense.

What would she reply I wonder if someone had actually asked her if she was African.. and also if the answer would depend on grandparents being in earshot.

[Mystic Mock]

And that was the question...where were her people from, it’s small talk

The way she phrased it sounded like she was questioning the woman personally about where she was born.

.

Imo, it's because they have to be particularly careful now how they react given H&M's accusations of structural racism in the Royal family instead of the previous 'never explain' or waiting until they have the full picture.
I doubt William even had a conversation with Lady Susan to hear her side.

[jet]

Apart from this lady accusing the Royal family of ‘domestic violence’ against Meghan in 2021, this is a tweet from her earlier this year:

Sistah Space

Harry and Meghan won’t be allowed on the balcony?
They’re in a completely different category to Andrew. He’s linked to sexual crimes.
Harry married and had children with a black woman. An all exclusively white balcony.
The only black people banned. RACISM.

Why did this lady go to the Palace function if she believed the Royals were domestic abusers and racists? Did she make a meal out of an elderly lady questioning her in just a clumsy manner? I have my suspicions.

asking where someone is from is not and never has been racism

When the mutual familiarity’s tight enough/you’re talking as (potential) friends the only thing wrong with that is assuming they’d have to be from Africa, even the way it sounds (and for all you know they could be from Saint Kitts and Nevis). But in the context of this thread it was so-blatantly asked to racially-offend Ngozi and tell her ‘her kind’s not welcome’ and that’s blatantly not okay.

[Redway]

what race is english?

None.

[Beso]

Maybe because Scottish isn’t a race.

That's true, but she does look like a stereotypical scotsman in a way..so on that note, I think its fair to say, "I wouldn't be offended if I was attending such a lavish event, and someone asked me in my kilt and sporran, what part of Scotland are you from"

I would actually be made up to bits that someone was asking me about myself and my home town.:shrug:

[Redway]

I personally agree that her reaction was OTT.

However I also don't understand why the other woman was assuming that she was from an African country?

Because she was a racist scumbag, Mock. Pure and simple. Ngozi really, really didn’t overreact.

[Redway]

That's true, but she does look like a stereotypical scotsman in a way..so on that note, I think its fair to say, "I wouldn't be offended if I was attending such a lavish event, and someone asked me in my kilt and sporran, what part of Scotland are you from"

I would actually be made up to bits that someone was asking me about myself and my home town.:shrug:

The context is ever-so-slightly different (preying too much about a black person’s descent and asking them about it when you don’t know them has always been deeply racially-offensive, and that’s putting it really rather mildly) but it’s good that you’re a proud Scot.

I dunno..

You come to an event like that, dressed up like she was.

If it were me, I would be disappointed if I wasnt asked what part of Africa I'm from.

Especially all the old folk in there, who ain't to sure about how to word things. I'd have a right laugh and giggle with them about it.

There's a difference between politely asking someone of their heritage in an appropriate space and doing it in a way that's blatantly intentioned as racist/telling her that 'her kind isn't welcome.' If you knew what the name Ngozi means and who the Igbo people really are/how gifted they are you wouldn't be so quick to write her off as just some next black woman from Hackney but you shouldn't write off/indirectly-gaslight people of colour relating their experiences of racism anyway. Your comparison between a white English lady and a "snowflake" black woman (black people have been and go through too much to ever be snowflake-y; that's a white Gen.-Z thing, not something that applies to enterprising and hard-working black people with a lifetime of unnecessary discrimination to boot) in terms of who you think's more reliable is absolutely disgusting. I know you're fond of saying things to bait but at some point you're going to have to sit back and realise how shameful some of your comments and your wilful ignorance are.

No.

Of course you can wear what you like...however if you were making small talk to a person you have never met before and he is wearing a Kilt...would it not be an inevitable question to ask what part of Scotland are you from??
Are you not considered to be making a statement if you are in the National attire of a country?
The woman was 89...it was time for her to step down but how sad that after all these years of service she will be remembered as being 'Racist'...It has been a complete over reaction...and it seems her apology just is not good enough.

[Redway]

How is asking someone's heritate the same as saying they're not welcome?

There's only so far one can really go with people who are committed to disregarding/ignoring the nuances of racism and try to justify it with literal word-logic (I'm not saying you're prejudiced by any means but this evidently isn't a thing you have much experience of, whether directly or as a white person who's experienced enough in subtle racism and how it comes about). I'd candidly say attitudes like this are part of the problem but no-doubt everything I say will be twisted and asked to be supported with statistical studies proving that asking someone about their heritage in such a disrespectful way (not just in any context/for the sake of genuinely wanting to know but to be racist) is, indeed, racist so I am going to have to cap off this discussion at some point before it becomes too nonsensical and gaslight-y and anyone who sees the patent offence in this is called a paranoid conclusion-jumper.

[Redway]

Would it be racist to ask Cliff Richard, which part of England he came from?

By this logic, it would. That's how silly you are and this is.

Asking a question is not racism. We ask questions as humans to find out information.

The rest of the World is laughing at how silly you are.

By all grounds of logic one would have to account for the fact that "English" isn't a race and that there's a very specific issue of black people being asked that question with blatantly-racist intentions at play. If you're from a different world or don't have much real experience with black friends/racism and whatnot it's quite alright not to get it or understand completely but it's not okay to indirectly gaslight this woman just because her experience of (not even very subtle) racism doesn't resonate with your understanding of racism as a middle-aged white man from Hull. Chances are it most-definitely won't but there's a way to hold space for people talking about things you don't fully understand without calling them over-sensitive snowflakes.

The Duke of Edinburgh, was known for his controversial sense of humor and often made remarks during royal engagements that landed him in hot water.

These have included telling the President of Nigeria that he looked like he was "ready for bed" when he wore national dress to meet Prince Phillip in 2003, and comparing Ethiopian art to "the kind of thing my daughter would bring back from school art lessons" back in 1965.

During a visit to China in 1986, he also told a British student that if he stayed much longer, "you'll go home with slitty eyes."

Most of these comments have come and gone without acknowledgment from the palace. However, The Independent reports that the duke issued a public apology after a visit to an electronics factory in Scotland in 1999, where he said a messy fuse box looked "as though it was put in by an Indian."

If there had been other instances of racism, do you really believe that we wouldn't have heard of them by now? Do you really think that M&H would have kept quiet about it?
Even that's no more racist than wondering of the baby would be ginger.

the woman making the complaints clearly has an agenda. You don't make this much fuss, appearing on morning news channels etc without one

The real issue here is how many people are desperate for this to BE racism

ironically it once again devalues the real fight against racism

I had to look back and check when I posted that, didn't remember it. :shrug: I think I was joking.

It would only be if Twitter was closing down, which obviously isn't happening.

I definitely think you were joking, and my post wasn't serious either.

[Zizu]

Asked if she had wanted Lady Hussey to resign or if she would have been content with an apology, Ms Fulani said: "I would have preferred it did not happen...

Ngozi Fulani was questioned about her background by Lady Susan Hussey, Prince William's godmother, at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday. The late Queen's lady-in-waiting has since resigned.
Ms Fulani likened the conversation with Lady Hussey, 83, to "an interrogation".


Ms Fulani later told BBC News: "Now, violence isn't always physical, it can be verbal.
"And that felt like violence to me, and when you put your hand in my hair like I'm not even a person - you can just do what you want and say what you want - I don't want to be in your presence

Ms Fulani was a guest at the reception representing domestic violence charity Sistah Space when she described Lady Hussey moving her hair to see her name badge, and then challenging her repeatedly to explain where she was from.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Ms Fulani said: "It was like an interrogation. I guess the only way I can explain it, she's determined: 'Where are you from? Where are your people from?'"

It does look that way, especially as she has accused the Royals of domestic violence against Meghan in the past and tweeted that not having 'the only black person' on the balcony during the Jubilee was RACIST (her capitals).

[arista]

I’m just glad Harry and Meghan have now been vindicated, what with that former counterterrorism fella coming out about the real and dangerous threat against Meghan and now the in house racism being exposed and proven to be true, hopefully that teaches the haters a stern lesson, it won’t, but it should


Hold on.

Sure Racism


But other stuff she Lied about
On that Oprah facade

[Cherie]

I just wonder why she didn't put Susan in her place there and then rather than clamming up, also there were two other women there and none of them suggested the conversation was making them uncomfortable, I recall going into work and the caretaker who was probably in his 50s made some comment about the IRA (there has been some atrocity the day before )and even though I was shocked that he felt it was appropriate to say what he said to me as if I was somehow involved due to the sheer fact of being Irish and I was in my early 20s I was still able to put him in his place, not sure she can be that traumatised or violated by what was said in all honesty, she might be angry but tramatised....nah not for me

I never realized this was going on. I'd heard but found it a little far fetched.

There clearly is 'real racism' going on but not being reported. The far-left radical main stream media have been lying to us all along. Tucker and Nick Fuentes are the real deal. Biden,Obama and Clinton are reptilian aliens and Trump is the only one who can save the world. :wink:

And one might liken the Taliban with religious fundamentals and as similarly-benign as that might sound it's also something much worse. Likewise "interrogation" might sound innocent but I wouldn't get it twisted when you're not the one having monkey-chants indirectly aimed at them or bricks going through your window. Ngozi's not backtracking what she said about experiencing racism from the godmother.

it's not hearsay, it's the account of one person in the conversation. You can choose to believe it or not, it's pretty irrelevant as the woman has resigned and apologised, making her 100% the guilty party

I like to hold pity (it can be quite patronising) but I feel so sorry for Ngozi.

[Redway]

Sometimes when there are two sides to a story you really do just need to disconnect from the source for a while and think on it over a pizza and glass of wine but there isn’t any other side of the story than guilty actions (including the swift resignation) so I’m hard-pressed to see what isn’t to believe about Ngozi’s account. But knowing L.T. he probably does actually know the truth deep-down.

'Where was anyone standing up saying, 'Wait a moment, this is a woman who has
travelled to every corner of the planet and met people from every ethnic background. Is it
really likely that she would be deliberately, provocatively racist?' I don't think so.'

You don’t need to mock what you perceive to be a typical black British accent when your grammar isn’t up to scratch at the best of times anyway.

By the way, you couldn’t have possibly watched that whole 13-minute video in 3 or 4. It seems to me that you’ve already taken a singular side and won’t budge even for a free account of what happened that day (with at least two witnesses to boot going by that video).
