I've never understood how royal blood is so special. I do have to
give the Royal Family a coodo for being able to maintain their
prominence while doing nothing to earn it.
Or perhaps I should wonder why the British People worship the Royal
Family in the first place. But then, I can't figure out why countless
millions of Americans worship the likes of Donald Trump.
Carl Jarvis, just glad I'm not a King.

I don't follow stories about the Royal Family so I had no idea that a

of that family married an American Black woman. I've been seeing headlines
referring to her name, but never investigated the reason for the headlines.

Nobody Told Us That Oprah Was Going to Air a Special on White Supremacy
By Michael Moore, Michael Moore's Facebook Page
09 March 21
A withering, devastating interview with Harry & Meghan via Oprah. The
Kingdom which first brought slaves here 400 years ago had their current
Royal racism outed in all its glorious brutality last night - just how
black
will her kids be? The Palace refused to provide security for her baby or
her
husband. Meghan, crushed, depressed, asked to seek help. The Palace - "The
Firm" - blocked her from getting mental health services. Meghan, in
despair,
considered suicide. Harry frightfully saw the deja of this - it was the
treatment of his dead mother all over again. So it was time to get out. His
father wouldn't return his calls. This airs today in the UK on Commonwealth
Day - yes, that British Commonwealth, in which 40% to 60% of its
inhabitants
are people of color. None of this comes as a surprise those of color in the
Commonwealth. The British press, when referring to Meghan, uses words like
monkey, demon seed, straight outta Compton. It's good to see where our
original White Supremacy came from and how the Mother country embraces it
to
this day.
Nobody told us that Oprah was going to air a special on White Supremacy
yesterday on the anniversary of the Selma March. Powerful. And the mental
health/suicide discussion was so intense and so helpful, I'm certain it
will
save lives.
Meghan - observing your wedding in 2018, I remember thinking, oh god,
she'll
pay for this. You and Harry conducted what racists saw as a "Black" wedding
- complete with an incredible Black American firery preacher giving the
sermon and a black gospel choir rockin' it out. The Royals and the rich sat
there stone-faced in the church through it all. I thought, she's cooked.
The
press immediately went after you. I'm so sorry. Thank you for the good
works
you continue to do. Welcome home. It ain't perfect here. Today the murder
trial of the cop who killed George Floyd begins in Minneapolis. There is
much for us all to do.
And on this International Women's Day, congrats on the new baby girl you'll
soon be bringing into this crazy world.
