Why are so many black people ragging on Meghan Markle ?

Is it because she can pass as white?

Just go over to lipstickalley and take a look at ANY of their threads about celebrity women. Black, white, hispanic, whatever, doesn't matter as long as she's a woman they'll tar and feather her and then rip her to shreds. Black women are the most misogynistic people on the internet, beating even the incels by a furlong.

You will have to accept that there are a fair amount of black people who do not look at their "blackness" through the white lens that we have been taught to. A good portion of us know that a "conscious" person of colour would never marry into European Royalty. It is what it is. The Royal Family was built on the backs of people of colour and poor whites. The "good" immigrants of the post war period have been shafted in Britain which is arrogantly celebrating its "diversity" credentials off of the back of this wedding. And how dare non blacks jump startled that some of us aint about the okey doke . Good for Meghan, but we know that The Royal family will do anything to maintain. It will make sure that its cousins stay in Russia to be assassinated, it will be relieved when the unstable ex of its future monarch gets offed in a tunnel. It will pay off who it has to pay off in order for its paedophile son to not be arrested. It will split a subcontinent into three countries in order to slow down progression as a condition of its rightful independence. And it Is mostly black women who are supporting Meghan whilst racist anti Black woman misogynist ( white) gays on here say that we are the most misogynistic people on the internet. You are sick in your head with hatred of Black women. that is what you have in common with the men who wish you harm. Idiots!

Why would anyone want to marry into a monarchy establishment? That's everything that's wrong with the world today.

You're basically saying you support inequality, the haves and the have nots. And then there's the long dark history of brutality of the windsors.

Meghan has gone backwards and her mother Doria just sold her daughter into a horrible family.

If you're a person of color and you want to marry into English "Royalty" you are definitely confused about history and you're people. And everything people of color have gone through. Only to marry into a monarchy establishment that has perpetuated everything that's wrong with white supremacy.

But go ahead though.

OP there are 47 million black people in the United States. The majority of them, like the majority, of every other race in this country, probably don’t care one way or the other. This wedding is not a life altering event for most people. It’s not even minimally important to most. Social media and the internet in general is filled with angry miserable lunatics who may or may not be what they claim to be. (Many of them woke up before day to hate watch this wedding.) Reading a dozen or even 2 dozen tweets will result in very little insight about an entire race of people.

They're just jealous they can't marry Harry themselves so they trash her. And suspect her of doing things they would do, in their sociopathic lives. It's like how Republicans always assume the worst of people because they assume everyone thinks like they do. So to them everyone is a disengenous asshole. And there's probably some racism in there as well. They invent shit out of whole cloth about her, believe every bit of bad gossip and plain made up stories and project every bad thought on her. She could find the cure for cancer and they'd accuse her of showboating.

I don't know why it doesn't seem like she's close to either one anymore.

Datalounge, a message board with a majority demographic of white, gay men between 40 and 55, loves nothing more than to tell everyone how straight men, women, and now black people think and feel. You all come from these little insular midwestern suburbs, got the money together to go the college, then moved to one of the coasts and now think you can white-gaysplain everything to everybody. That is when you're not wishing that you could somehow be transported back to a time when women still wore gloves to shop and people dressed up for air travel. Most of you never met a black person until you left East Flyover and then your original opinions on blacks were formed from racist uncles and reruns of That's My Mama.

And I understand why you do what you do. Because every so often you are going to get a rant from some idiot like me who takes your bait. I get so tired of hearing about "black people" or "the black community". For most black people all we do is represent ourselves. I don't speak for anyone else and I don't expect anyone to speak for me. We all have different origin stories, different things that motivate us, and different life experiences.

A bunch of numbnuts on social media only speak for themselves. These are the same types who turn allies into enemies because they make one misstep. Who can ruin a career because they got something trending. It's the pile on culture of a bunch of shuts in who tweet things that they don't have the balls to say to anyone's face.

The Duchess of Sussex is now nestled in her bed, snuggled up with her ginger prince, with a load of his cum swimming in her biracial, now royal, cooch. The world did not end and might just be a little bit better for it.

It’s not like a kid has a chance to branch out when they’re living at home, with their parents.

I am beyond happy and grateful that I made friends with black, Asians, Jews, middle easterners, etc., once I left home to go to school. My world got MUCH bigger, and richer, as a result. But it’s almost impossible to make friends with other races, when all of your neighbors and school mates are white.

I don’t think Meghan has ever really had much opportunity to hang out with blacks. Hollywood is very white, as is Canada. Now her chances are probably even less, because she married into a white family.

How does anyone on this ridiculous thread have any idea who her personal friends are? For all some of you twits know she may have tons of black friends who have absolutely nothing to do with the entertainment industry. You lot don't know everything, you know. You just assume. As in ASS U ME.

The black man who gave the droning sermon is not "a preacher from Compton" he's a bishop and head of the Episcopal Church (The US version of the CoE) and is from Chicago.

And anyone claiming that Meg and Harry didn't have control over the guest list is retarded. Do you think Charles said "Hey, let's invite Serena Williams" or the Queen was like "I always liked Oprah, why don't we invite her?"

No one remembers this, but in 2007 for a little while--and this was a world without much social media--Barack Obama was dragged quite a bit for being "not black enough" and outside of "the black experience."

Didn't last long.

There is a person here who cannot begin to accept the reality that not everyone wants to MARRY A HANDSOME PRINCE YOU JEALOUS HAGS.

He’s handsome and charming. He’s probably lots of fun to hang out with. Hell, in my younger days, I’d have taken him for a whirl. Now I’m old enough to be his mother, and I’m also old enough to understand the dynamics of marriage and in-laws and all the grown-up things Harry’s wife is facing.

No, I do NOT want to marry Prince Harry.

The only black person I know who has even mentioned Meghan is my best friend, who called me yesterday to get my reaction to the wedding (we're both a couple of queens, but I'm white, and he's black). He knew I'd be up on all the details, and he was a bit surprised that I was a bit verklempt over the wedding (I surprised myself, too). We were both happy for Meghan and Harry, and hopeful that they'll be happy together. I only know he was happy to have a fellow traveler who could share his honest warm thoughts for the couple.

From the looks of it, Megan is a quadroon, so her kids with Harry with be octroons, with also 31.25% English blood, 18.75% German blood, and 37.5% "American" blood, whatever that is.

"Social media hates everyone! Why do people still think what's said on twitter or some stupid message boards reflect real life?"

Perhaps because that is how they really feel?

Uh, cause they weren't at the wedding. That crowd, except for Serena and Oprah, was pure Wonder Bread.

Anyone else get an uncomfortable vibe from Meghan's mom? Even cynical?

by Anonymousreply 110May 22, 2018 12:11 AM

I thought she seemed sad. I still don't understand why they wouldn't let her bring a good friend or a date as a +1. Heck, doesn't she have even one gay guy friend who would have LOVED to go as her escort? She looked so forlorn an lonely sitting by herself. I didn't like the way she got dumped out of the car either. She should have been allowed to stay until Megs got out.

She has white features for sure.

Yes, I also thought that Doria looked somewhere between uncomfortable and distressed.

No telling why, of course. Maybe she's genuinely unhappy about something, or maybe she was just uncomfortable with being in the full glare of the media. I mean, if you took me and put me on international live TV for an hour and then told me to make nice with the Queen of England, I'd feel awkward as all hell.

Didn't they say that there were 2 members of Sparkle's family expected at the wedding? Did they ever say who the second person was?

While the pictures of Doria made it look as if she was sitting totally alone, a wider shot showed that the seat to her right was empty. Perhaps the 2nd relative was supposed to sit there?

Most Black people are happy for her. The big question that a few brought up are where are her Black aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.?B? She didn't have the other side either.

by Anonymousreply 115May 22, 2018 4:12 AM

R115, I think Doria was pretty much estranged from her family and Meghan never got to know them. Doria lived in California most of her life, but I think her family's from Ohio.

Didn't know Doria had Ohio roots. Would like to know the backstory.

If she was more black than white, she would have dated black men or married a black man but Meghan Markle is white through and through. She relates to upper class white people and not black people.

by Anonymousreply 118August 18, 2019 2:05 PM

She never dated black men, she never married a black man, she always hung around white girls her whole life, she only mingles with high society white people only if they're rich so yes I can understand why black people don't claim her as one of her own because she never showed her affiliation with blacks, that is, until she got married to Harry and then all of a sudden she related to the whole black Southern Baptist thing debuted and acted out at her wedding with the royals. She's an actress thru and thru and is all smoke and mirrors. I call Meghan M. a perfect chameleon

I agree with R91. Her motives are very suspicious. She always had white friends growing up, grew up in a rich white neighborhood, married a very rich white guy who got her acting connections and then surprisingly on the day of her wedding she all of a sudden got in touch with her Southern Black roots. All this is for show. She does everything for a reason and to show people that she "relates" to black people. It's all a farce. See thru the smoke and mirrors people. Open your eyes.

I think far more black people are "ragging" on cops that shoot them in their backs, etc. Did you see what happened in Philadelphia when all those cops were shot? The black people were out in the street, dancing and celebrating. The locals set up a rally in support of the shooter.

[quote] Her motives are very suspicious. She always had white friends growing up. . .

All my nieces and nephews primarily have white friends because my generation (Black boomers) is the second generation of Black middle class in this country. As a result my brothers and their Black friends sent their children to white schools to get the best education. Consequently they only socialized with white people and now are marrying white people.

I'm not picking up anything sinister from any of them (my nieces and nephews) connected to this but I'll keep a close eye on them and report back to DL.

M uses the black card to elicit support and cry "racism" in response to ANY criticism.

The ultimate Get Out of Jail Free Card.

She's had never demonstrated a connection to her black heritage and uses her black Mum as a shield for personal defense.

Think it's telling who she has allied herself with throughout her life. Other than the token black celebrity (Serena/Beyoncé), her entourage is more white than most I know.
