Meghan never puts herself in a position where her views could be challenged. The Oprah interview, the podcasts where sycophantic rich celebrities boost each other’s egos and whine about how hard their lives are. That’s cowardice and safe attention seeking.

I’d have some respect for Meghan if she actually engaged in a debate or an interview where the interviewer was allowed to ask some hard questions. Or if she actually DID something useful to help people, you know, ACTION, instead of making preachy speeches or sitting on her behind spouting a lot of wokey Californian platitudes with the help of a dozen plus producers (28 people worked on it in total!)
She never has anything new or innovative to say, it’s all been done before, and much better. In the end, it’s all about ME ME ME, with her signature move as a poor victim and a few more sympathy seeking tall tales always thrown in somewhere in the mix.

Absolutely....if there was an opportunity to be interviewed by someone who would challenge her she would run a mile..

They're too rich and privileged to think straight. It's like those lottery winners who win crazy amounts like Ł188Million.

They are like headless chickens running around desperate for something very expensive to spend their money on.

Just because they have it, spend it. That's their barmy motto.

It's quite pathetic really. I'd hate to be someone with all that much money who's basically a waster.

I bet Meghan would rather buy a Ł4,000 pair of jeans than pay its real worth of about Ł19.99

Get better at trolling, you're just embarrassing yourself now .

A mixed race person still is classed as black, are you to question them in real life about their 'blackness' .

I dare you to tell them they're "not black", especially when they experience racism & name calling from ignorant folk.

well lets ask Meghan herself..


"In Britain, Meghan Markle’s racial identity sparked a national debate even though she herself explicitly stated back in 2015 that she identifies as biracial."

And yet this nuance is completely lost when it comes to ranting about "black on black crime."

She is mixed race, but it seems Meghan wanted to be portrayed as Caucasian as that is what she put down on her audition applications when applying for acting parts. Which is why she had her hair straightened and her nose refined.
She liked being mistaken for Italian.

She only became vocal about being a 'proud black woman' when it suited her to call everybody racist who dared to criticise her, which does a disservice to all black women who wouldn’t dream of using their skin colour to provoke racial tensions and hide behind. It’s her ace card and it works a treat on the gullible.

She plays a mixed race woman in her biggest ever acting role (suits).

Do you have any idea how difficult it is for black people especially black women, in the industry. Meghan being mixed race gave her an advantage & even then it's still tough in the industry. And you're constantly stereotyped & judged on your background & race .

If you don't see the racism Meghan has experienced in the media ,then you must be turning a blind eye.
She's from LA ,yet a dumb headline was written about her as "straight out of Compton". If you can't see the racist stereotyping there then wow .

Meghan seems very proud of her black roots , she's probably had people make ignorant remarks about her skin tone - race all her life. People have different ways of dealing & coping with that .

It's not her fault of people think she can pass for Italian, some light skinned mix race people can pass for white ..but it still doesn't change who they are or where they're from.

What's interesting is when idiots make racist comments in front of them, not realising they're actually black. People show their true colours when they think they're with their own 'kind' .

What right does anyone have to tell Meghan how black she is , she is still black. Her hair & nose have zero to do with it .

Ever think she might have been pressured to change her appearance?. Even Alexandra Burke said the music industry would bully her into changing her hair & skin tone , to be more 'appealing' . It's utterly disgusting really.

See i don't get why she can't be criticised? She a public figure, just like the rest of them. You put yourself out there you are automatically open to criticism, and praise.

I absolutely agree without argument that our sensationalist press have been petty and over the top with some of their trash headlines and nit picking. People come in with this Meghan haters nonsense, at the same time they're coming in and defending her like she's the second coming or something. Her defence is even more obsessive than her criticism for the most part at this point.

Why can people just simply not like her without being branded racist either, it's so strange. If i had a top 10 list of celebs who annoy me i can almost be certain they'd all be white. Why does not liking a mixed race celebrity make you a racist?!
