When Two Worlds collude...
How can two of the richest, most famous and most privileged black women in the world today honestly have a conversation about being the victim of systemic racism?
The system has disgorged a veritable cornucopia on both of them. Both women have everything they can ever need. This pandering to the catastrophising of an immature, spoilt Hollywood mum who married a Prince is sickening. She made her choices in full cognisance of what it meant to marry into The Royal Family. Yet she has the gall to assert that she is a victim. Perhaps her ex-staff say mean things because the have good cause to? Surely if she was kind, decent and courteous there would be no smoke and fires to extinguish? You think Harry would compare the behaviour of his mother to the behaviour of his wife and be able to draw a distinction.
This is an intersectional triumph: Two filthy rich, privileged women of colour virtue signalling their victim status to the entire world. By having this conversation they each are making more money than we mere mortals can only dream of. They seem oblivious to real hardships some women in the real world have to endure.
Today is International Women's Day.
We have a 94-year old Queen who has lived her life serving the people of the UK. She has earned the right to be honoured on International's Women's Day. Similarly, there are myriads of nurses, teachers, mums, business women and even bus drivers & police women who contribute more meaningfully to our society than Oprah Winfrey and Meghan Markle. Yet the media scuttles after two of the most privileged, self-serving, self delusional and divisive women alive today.

There's a saying. Once you make it to the top, send the lift back down to help others. The challenge I find with this whole thing is, most people seem to believe the royals are perfect. When history is repeating itself for the umpteenth time. Maybe the lesson is that none transparent hierarchies like corporations, presidencies, political parties and the royals have no place in a society that seeks equality and transparency.
ReplyDeleteI don't think any reasonable person would believe the Royals are perfect. The way they have messed up in recent times would confirm that.
DeleteIn order to assert that history is repeating itself for the 'umpteenth time' you have to first agree that Meghan and Harry's narrative is factually correct. In a post-truth world we have no way of discerning how accurately they perceived and interpreted recent events.
It's just their perception, not the truth. The truth - I find - always lies somewhere in-between.
