Oprah, Harry & Meghan

[festive]

Tell me who is permitted to talk about Skin Colour?

Any person of colour Bodd. (don't say coloured that's offensive, just like we are of white or white well ok some of us have gammon coloured skin, that's ok to say that we deserve it)

No that excludes white white is not a colour, black is a colour of course (even though most blacks are many shades of brown, and scientifically black is non reflective therefore not colour) No im not being racist!
'Wait....you're excluding white, isn't that exclusive, like.. like white people used to be accused of?'
Maybe yes but they deserve it for years of ill behaviour.

Idiocy, we are better than this surely? It's almost like a skinny person commenting on someone overweight it's not ok, they get defensive very quick, normally retorted with 'just because you're so malnourished..' etc. but it's ok for their overweight friend to say something.. 'they've been there'. What if the skinny person was once overweight too?

A Buckingham Palace spokesman refused to answer speculation on who the mystery Royal could be, and added that it was disrespectful as he was currently hospitalised after a heart operation.

The one I fully expected, but Oprah was informed privately and said it wasn't either of the two most likely candidates.

"Concerns about" and "conversation about" are different and depending on the actual context of the discussion, can have very significant differences.

as I said: context


The concern, may have been for the baby and his parents.

A darker skinned Royal baby and parents may face future problems: I am sure that is a conversation that many mixed race couples have with their families.

Pointing out that society, Royal circles etc may treat a darker skinned person differently doesnt make the person raising that concern a racist themselves: just being practical

exactly right

 

[ellal]

Have you used the word Gammon?

Indeed I have...

"It refers to a middle-aged white man of a certain political persuasion. He is a Brexiteer. He is ugly. He is a conservative. He may wear hideous trousers. And, because he is a Brexiteer and so very ugly and a conservative who may wear hideous trousers, why not call him a gammon?"

Go look in your mirror

 

[Bodd]

why not call him a gammon?"

Because he's a baby....We all love and would care for a baby what ever colour. Tarzan for instance was a baby his adoptive parents didn't see colour.

And thus you simply perpetuate the 'problems' instead of addressing them...

It's called closet racism

 

[Dangee]

I find it amazing that Elle chucks around insults like that but thinks that she’s better then the people she’s judging.
She isn’t the sharpest tool in the box ..... but she is a complete tool.

So deal with a nations racism? and rap Archie in cotton wool?

 

[Dangee]

Can you imagine the amount of racist behaviour Archie is going to have to face in his life!!

 

[mattylad]

I don't think the palace is going to release a statement about this, its not what they do (according to the crown show )

It’s such a shame Meg didn’t speak about any of the issues she was facing prior to being married & pregnant. She must be an amazing actor to hide all of these obvious issues before the wedding. Maybe she confided in her family..,
Oh, no I forgot......... It’s everyone else not her....

That's showbusiness.
