Aphasic 4,033 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Britain's royals have denied being a racist family. Archived papers reveal recent racist past. Britain's Guardian newspaper this week unearthed documents, buried in the UK national archives, which revealed that the Queen's courtiers had banned ethnic minority immigrants and foreigners from holding clerical positions at Buckingham Palace until at least the late 1960s. The palace used a parliamentary procedure known as "Queen's consent" to obtain an exemption from UK legislation aimed at preventing discrimination in the workplace -- including the hiring of people based on their ethnicity. The Queen is still exempt from those laws today, the Guardian reported. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheâs had more than enough power to fix the system, inform the public, or influence the system. Sheâs had that crown for decades andâŠ. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They left bc they wanted to make stupid money in Hollywood. If they hate the "racist, neglectful" institution so much then why are they still clinging on to the title? Hmm? It is because it brings them money and status. Americans fall over them selves for that ****. They are massively hypocritical and I don't believe half of what they claimed bc they've contradicted themselves so many times it's hilarious. In 2017, Harry said that when he was suffering mentally William and other relatives encouraged and supported him to get help. He said William had been hugely supportive. Cut to 2021 and he acts like the Royal Family don't even know what therapy is and run away at the very mention of mental health. He, William and Kate created Heads Together, a mental health awareness charity. Yet we are supposed to believe that if MM claimed she was having suicidal thoughts that she's told they couldn't do anything about it bc it's a bad look? Nah. Doesn't make sense. Harry has admitted to seeing various professionals throughout the years. Diana did too. She was all in to alternative therapies in the 90s. Nobody stopped her. And it begs the larger question, why did they (like they claim) go to HR about a personal family issue. Harry should have brought her straight to one of those fancy London clinics immediately. Palace staff did not need to know about it besides security. Anyway, I digress. RE the Sussexes and the race issue, why are they refusing to give up their titles when they claim the whole institution is racist? đ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenegAde 16,592 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 And the US had even worse laws set in place at that time so are we supposed to be surprised by this ? Maybe CNN and American media can focus on their own racist past cuz it seems like of recent they're really bent on proving how racist the royals and it's getting a little tired .

It's the racists practices of the British Monarchy. Don't get it twisted. And Harry and Meghan can do whatever they want to make money. That's not up to you nor to anyone. As Oprah said very eloquently: asking for privacy doesn't mean to remain silent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyaway 15,350 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Are we surprised? 1. The monarchy is the best representation of white colonialism. It's not compatible with progressive values today however you wanna see it. 2. It's an elitist system. So it segregates people by default. 3. Meghan Markle and Harry already disclosed those racist pigs. Get rid of monarchy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
