YES, President Barack Obama was the 1st black president, which is good & he was a good president, but he grew up very much in a life of privilege for the main part. People saw him as a Harvard Professor, until he cared for the common man in his presidency during weather storms. I'd like to see people from a less privileged background in power more often. Even Tony Blair went to Oxbridge, but money is all that matters, isn't it? John

Meghan seems to be really chewing on this reported question from a royal they won¡¯t name, but not the Queen or Philip, on how dark the then unborn Archie was likely to be. Is it racist to wonder that? Depends how it¡¯s put, I suppose, plus how sensitive you are. The Today Programme put that to the current Lord Lieutenant of Bristol, a lady of colour, and she said not necessarily, rather than straight out, ¡°Oh yes!¡± I¡¯ll admit that, when I first heard about it, I was very taken aback but am no longer so sure. I am, however, still shocked and sure about the casual killing of George Floyd, which was unbelievably awful. It would still have been awful if Floyd had been white but would it have happened?

Harry has not liked his brother's advice to be cautious and proceed slowly about his choice of wife, failed to explain "the job" to the woman otherwise she would have run like his previous girlfriends and wouldn't have married him, and then oversold his place in the pecking order (she's discovered she's married the wrong prince and its not a popularity contest like US President) , and then failed to explain to her how titles worked and she has extrapolated that as being something to do with colour. It's all in Megan and Harry's head. This is not going to end well for Harry till he gets a grip. Sibling rivalry is real. In past history Princes/Princesses ?have ended up in the tower and then there was Prince John colluding with kidnappers to hang on to King Richard :-)? Been there....done that .... :-) ?Jude? |
