So true. Just an example of how some suddenly became hardcore pro royalist as soon as an black outspoken women entered the picture.

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."

I know you are but what am I? Is vacuous and nonsensical. Even for you.

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).

50% of journalists even said reporting about her was racist.

I know. She must have been more successful when she stopped trying to pretend she was something other than who she was.
She probably put 'mixed race' on some applications too though as well as Caucasian - more parts to apply for....

She probably....

So in other words you have absolutely no idea but have landed upon the only explanation that fits in with your petty repetition?

Have you ever actually filled out a form where they ask your race .

I tell you something , it's alot more than just "mixed race" .

It asks your nationality aswell as heritage/ background . I've filled out enough to know.

How do you know she put Caucasian ? . Plus you don't know what she went through in her auditions, it's not exactly an easy road .

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.

Of course there was some racism in certain sections of the press, nobody is denying that. It’s not a perfect world. There is far worse racism in certain parts of the USA than there will ever be in the UK, but Meghan, according to her family and the friends she grew up with, never had a problem with racism growing up in California. She went to exclusive schools which were absolutely racially diverse with well off pupils from all over the world. Meghan would not have stood out one bit, far from it. Her neighbourhood was racially diverse. Her friends were racially diverse. Do you know anything about her life, from her own mouth and from those who she grew up with?

The point I’m making is that Meghan and the likes of her cheerleaders Shola and Omid Scobie and her admirers are using her skin colour now to divert from valid criticism of someone whose actions, presentation and motives are very polarising and questionable to say the least. She never presented herself as a ‘proud black woman’ until she could use it to her advantage. That, to me, is disgusting and an example of racism in itself.

Should a very unlikeable, bullying, lying black woman be allowed a pass that a very unlikeable, bullying, lying white woman wouldn’t get to save those who dislike her from being labelled as racist? Absolutely not, though many use that as their trump card, just like Meghan herself.

Before I address the bit I want to, I want to make clear that I'm not calling you racist.

So the myth that minorities or PoC get away with stuff that the honkys would never be allowed to, despite centuries of historical and contemporary evidence, is inherently racist. It just is.
