He was kind enough to rule out granny and grandad but everyone else has to be heckled by reporters and humiliated, while standing next to black people.

 

HAHAHA ”while standing next to black people”. So this little stunt makes Charles definitely NOT a racist.

Outcomes do not define opportunities. Focus on unequal opportunities not on outcomes. 

If you were to accept that different ethnic/racial/national groups have distinct cultures to be respected, it’s completely senseless to not be able to consider how those differences can manifest themselves in financial outcomes at a larger populace level. (Only one of the factors of a complex multiparameter equation) 

You’d get along really well with real racists in terms of seeing everything through the lens of race and only race. Differences in wealth accumulation, just like every other thing, has tons of parameters, racial discrimination is only one of them - albeit not even a dominant one. 

In UK, higher percentage of Chinese, Indian & Non-British White Households are in highest income quintile(meaning Highest 20%) than British White Households. +++ You even can see the big gap between Indians vs Pakistanis & Bangladeshis who are the people of same race.... 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Given income stats are equivslised/adjusted to represent all households with what their income would be if equal number of adults & children lived in each household. Hence household size is not a factor in these statistics.

Percentage of household income in each income quintile in UK:

Wow congrats you’ve made the UK, the most racist country in history, look 1% less racist  and clownishly told me things I already know because you had to assume **** just to look smart. Literally not a race realist for pointing out the bare minimum. You’re new here so please keep your bad summarizations to yourself

If you guys are seriously concerned with the horrible effects of colonialism based on race...Then I think Africa (and maybe the opinions of Africans) is a good place start that conversation. 

That is actually a very good point imo.

I try to stay out of this topic because I don't know or care much about some people who are rich and famous just because they were born into a "royal bloodline" but one would think repairing the damage that family's history has caused would be more important than giving them some bad PR 

How much power do the royals have in the UK now anyway? I've always been under the impression that they have none aside from being fancy diplomats.

The way some of you throw out the term racist like it’s a Twitter hashtag is insane. The word will soon lose any value as EVERYONE will apparently be racist. If you disagree with a topic you’re racist. If you agree with a topic but aren’t black you have no right to speak on it and are racist. If you’re ignorant and trying to learn you’re racist. If you’re black and disagree you’re self hating and racist. Or maybe that’s the point? Everyone is racist? Cancel culture won’t stop until no one exists? It’s soooooo frustrating and does nothing to further a conversation on an any issue.

Imagine typing this after it was revealed the family literally worried about someone’s skin color. This isn’t tumblr micro aggressions, this is classic anti-blackness. Get it together.

Maybe do some research before trying to justify racism. Google is free.  

 

“... distinguished royal historian Robert Lacey revealed how Harry and Meghan's behaviour left the Royal Family 'hopping' mad, and Harry's fury when William asked his uncle, Earl Spencer, to suggest he slow down his marriage plans.” 

....

“In January 2005, the brothers went down to Maud's Cotswold Costumes to select their outfits for a friend's 'Colonials and Natives' fancy-dress party.

William opted in the end to go as a lion — or was it a leopard? — with tight black leggings and furry paws.

As for Harry, he chose a khaki-coloured uniform that, he later explained, he selected for the sandiness of the shirt: he thought it complemented his colouring. The trouble was that the shirt's left sleeve was encircled by a bright red and white armband bearing a stark, black Nazi swastika.

If there was one incident in the youth of Prince Harry that would be taken to represent his wild, foolish and totally unjudged side, it was that Nazi costume.

A sneaky fellow guest used their mobile phone to snap a photograph, and a few days later, there was Harry parading on the front page of a newspaper under the headline 'Harry the Nazi'.

He apologised, but there was public outrage. Many observers, however, missed the point: obviously the 20-year-old Harry wasn't really a neo-Nazi, as one Labour MP alleged. The lad was naughty, not a Nazi. Most clearly of all, we know that Harry chose his costume in conjunction with his elder brother — the future King William V, then 22, who had laughed all the way back to Highgrove with the younger sibling he was supposed to be mentoring — and then onwards to the party together.

But did a single commentator remark on Prince William's role in the debacle?

It was the function of the elder brother to be perfect in the public eye, whether he truly was or was not, and it was the function of the younger one to make the rest of us laugh or complain or feel disapproving — and at all events to make us feel thoroughly superior to the poor, clueless kid.

This was the role — the cruel and imprisoning stereotype, a collective shrug of the shoulders — that all of us shaped for 'dear old Harry' over the years.

But in January 2005, following the 'Colonials and Natives' costume fiasco, the young prince began re-evaluating his elder brother's involvement and the unfairness of William's subsequent emergence smelling of roses. It made Harry feel resentful and even alienated.”

Both brothers displayed cluelessness and insensitivity when they happily went to the party, whose theme was “Colonials and Natives,” according to Lacey. That means that Queen Elizabeth’s grandsons attended a party where attendees thought there was something fun about their country’s often brutal and racist colonial past.

It’s a painting with N word on it prominently put during Obama’s visit. Don’t be naive.

The royal art collection has 7,500 works. Were there no other pieces to hang in the couple’s home for the visit of Barack Obama?

The belated realisation of this by staff is reported to have seen a potted fern placed strategically in front of its title plate shortly before the room was used to entertain Barack and Michelle Obama last Friday night. Photographs documenting the engagement certainly show the nameplate thus obscured.

Do you seriously expect me read all that 😅 i skimmed it and I conclude that you still have not given me any proof that William had anything to do with Harry dressing as a Nazi. Sorry!!

I have no intention to make anything look like what it is not. I let the facts speak for themselves because you made a comment which signified that you don’t see situations beyond a single simplified parameter you are fed through outlets which emotionally appeal to you somehow.

If you think any country in Europe or North America is the most racist in any aspect in this day and age, spend some time with locals in Subsaharan Africa, in Middle East, in South Asia, in East Asia - You will be in for a rude awakening.

Go learn the recent pogroms against Muslims in India where civilians are publicly murdered. Go learn about Qatar’s modern slavery of south asian migrant workers living 10 ppl in a single room with their passports taken away working with no safety dropping dead in hundreds in front of world’s eyes. Go learn about China’s Uyghur “re-education” camps. Go learn about literally most sub-saharan African countries’ tribal violence where people of different background is murdered like literal animals just for existing - not insult, not indignification, not covert discrimination, not even murder spree of one or two crazy racists per year but socially widespread inter ethnic murderfest. 

Edit: That's not to say that if what Meghan said about a Royal's comment about Archie's skin color is true, then it's of course unacceptable. But stop being so out of touch with reality, look at your defence. Keep your "bad summarizations" (bad because you unsubtantiatedly claimed so) because I am new here. At least here the irony in your words. What's this ? A class system based upon how long you've been around beyond the merit of your words ?

Off topic but I'm always so impressed how informed your posts are.

I'm still wondering how much actual power the royals have in England but regardless, flirting with the blatant racism like they do isn't a cute look for someone in any kind of official role

OMG...this is actually so sad to look at : (

I'm sure it is probably a part of some culture ceremony but it gives off such a bad look. The UK literally pillaged and RAVAGED the African continent and to see this look of a British monarch on a throne like that carried by black men is just...ugh....it's super frustrating to witness.
