Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex [SPLIT]

[belamyi]

the beautiful, gracious and keenly intelligent Kate.

Let's just say that K never needed intelligence and ambition once she landed in the place she got: she is indeed the closest to being the new Diana.

 

[belamyi]

My pronoun is "the." As in THE queen, the alpha and omega, the first and the last. But you can call me Miss Kween.

You are mimicking there royal haughty indifference about what displeases you, yet you...

Someone please educate me, in the near-100 years that QE lived did she ever once address the British legacy of racism and genocide? We're not talking about events that happened 4,000 years ago. The British occupation of African countries lasted well into the 1900s, well into her lifetime. She had ample time to correct the sins of the past. Was it ever a priority? If the answer is "no" then you understand why certain countries aren't mourning right now.

Yes, I mimick them minus the racist genocide and theft.

When Meghan wanted to wear a tiara for the wedding that wasn't among the options offered, Harry is reported to have said, "What Meghan wants, Meghan gets." She didn't. Perhaps that's when it started to come clear to her that she was part of the supporting cast rather than the star of the show, destined to curtsy first to the frumpy Camilla and eventually to the anointed star, the beautiful, gracious and keenly intelligent Kate. The hated Kate. Narcissist that she is, she needed to get out and take her hapless husband with her, alienating him from his family, friends and nation. Despicable woman.

Just say she's black. The problem is always the outspoken black person. It's a tale older than time itself.

 

[belamyi]

As of yet... because of your helpless condition but, once the walls have fallen... So you do not actually resent her for being as frivolously and olympically ignorant or indifferent as yourself, only because she was the symbolic leader of racist genocides.

Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex​

This sounds like the first line of a limerick, but I'm having trouble finding a suitable rhyme for Sussex.

Try putting "Markle" of "Meghan" or "Meg" at the end.

Still, there are plenty of rhymes, as long as your wit is "suitable": flex, plex, convex, ex, (obviously, sex), checks, necks, wrecks...

Complex would be good. But I think any proper limerick has to start with "There once was . . .", which would screw up the absurdly annoying syntax of 'Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex".

The absurd pretense of necessarily fitting that annoying titleschlong into one limerick line.

Me-gain has only recently started calling herself black so we, the supposed racists, need time to get used to it. She's not outspoken, she's a liar whatever colour she wants to be. She is only black now because it suits her to play the victim since the white woman Catherine is beautiful and elegant and much higher on the Royal ladder. So if you want a lying manipulative narcissist as the poster child for woman of colour you can have her, nobody else wants her!

"Play the victim." If I had a dollar for every time a white person said this about a person of color I could buy Britain. Ironically, there's a huge overlap with the same people crying "reverse racism!" every time their feelings are hurt. Amazing how the biggest villain in a family that has sponsored genocide (that means killing people) and slavery is an actress who has never hurt a fly. But it's totally not about her color!!!

The fact is, racism isn't something people can self-diagnose any more than they could any other form of mental illness. It's like letting a student grade their own test. Of course they're gonna give themselves a perfect score! This is based on a misconception that the average Johnny Whiteguy is some expert on race. A laughable concept for anyone who doesn't believe having white skin automatically makes one the smartest person in the room and vastly knowledgeable about any topic. Ask R Kelly if he thnks he has a problem. He'll say no. Does that mean he doesn't have a problem? No, it means he lacks self-awareness, like the average white person when they talk about color politics.

If the British family wants to erase their history of racism they need to follow American footsteps and... erase their history of racism.

I never said i was gonna write it.

Besides, the 'e' in your suggestions are too soft of a vowel to make a proper rhyme.

Reading about the conversation (podcast?) that the Duchess had with Mariah Carey a few weeks ago, the following occurred to me, and it explains so much:

In the conversation, Meghan and Mariah commiserated with each other over the trials of being bi-racial, of never feeling that they belonged to one group or the other, and that other people couldn't figure out whether they were black or white and therefore didn't know what to make of them. Having read that she was primarily reared by her white father, and that at school in Los Angeles and in her career as an actress she was thought of as white, I realized that this was a woman who thought of herself as "passing" and was forever worrying about people finding out that she was half-black. When she stated that others didn't know what to make of her, she was projecting her anxieties on to others. She was terrified of being found out, and when her bi-racial parentage was revealed in the press, she took even that as evidence of racism.

I recently read a conversation between Tina Brown--Tatler, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker and now The Daily Beast and sometime chronicler of the royal family--and Andrew Sullivan. In it Brown posits that the narcissistic ("what Meghan wants Meghan gets") Markle entered into the union not recognizing the responsibilities that came with her marriage; she had no understanding of how much dull, hard work would be required of her or how constrained she would feel. The diamonds and the celebrity and the platform--and more people to do her biding- but none of the hard work and the slug. She wanted it all. And, having decided to get out, what better excuse could she find for our benighted, delusional times than to charge racism on the part of her husband's family and the British public?

Honi soit qui mal y pense.

While Diana was soooo different from that, particularly in the 1990s. She had absolutely everything any common person who takes her as an example would want... except the love of her husband: the love of a Prince of Wales, who marries for love, and has no right to have lovers or to be spoilt as his rank deserves. At least Meghan seems to show some will of her own, while Diana ended up being manipulated by any predator sensasionalist who jumped to cross her way.
The problem of Meghan, aside for being or not black, being decidedly a woman and whatever else, is not having won the title of saint or "beautiful, graceful, intelligent" girlfriend before revealing herself as the mess they all seem bound to end up becoming... one way or the other, more or less publicly.

This sounds like the first line of a limerick, but I'm having trouble finding a suitable rhyme for Sussex.

The nearest thing to a true rhyme I found in a rhyming dictionary is "just six". The trouble is you need two rhymes, so if you manage to make up something ending in -sex in line 2 you can't get away with -six as the last syllable in line 5, or vice versa. Even Ira Gershwin would probably have thrown in the towel on this one.

Apart from Katy being, however minimally, intelligent and calculating enough to be aware of the exceptional gift she received to be allowed IN, and the price expected for her to be paying with any minimal public and private gesture for the rest of her life IN.

She is cheap and ugly, it really shows when shes is photographed next to Catherine....if she was still claiming she was white YOU would be attacking her for marrying into the family....and that's your special brand of racism...no such thing as reverse racism F.Y.I. The fact she has and is constantly proven to be a huge liar means nothing to you, she is innocent because she is black (now) despite the facts, again your special brand of racism. Never hurt a fly???? if that is true, she would have a copy of the report from the investigation into her disgusting bullying treatment of the royal staff ( which the Queen decided it should not be released to the public) so if it proves her innocence why doesn't she release it..makes you wonder doesn't it?
