The Meghan Markle revelation should not be of any surprise. The Royalty is based upon the foundations of racism. The " of Exploration" of Europe was a system steeped in racism and subjugation. Whether it was the UK, France, Spain, Potugal, or the Netherlands.

The object of Imperialism and Colonialization was to subjugate the indigenous population and exploit the local resourses for the benefit of the home land.

The idea was assimilation with the intent of making red whitemen, brown whitemen, yellow white mrn, or black whitemen. This means that all the races and cultures supported the imposed colonizing power, but never attained the status as a full member of the colonizing society. A good example is the experience of the Brits in India, the Spanish Mexico, or the Dutch in South Africa.

The Royals (regardless the country) have always maintained a detatched posture from those deemed beneath them. America is presently being rocked by the last vestiges of colonialism with our fight against white privilege.

All lies.... The reason Archie is not a prince is because of a 100 year old rule created by the monarchy.

Markle is a whining lier. A privileged racist demanding attention.

Jacar, you are the only proven racist I know of, based upon all your posts.

My country was founded by the overthrow of a tyrant monarch King George III. Why Americans are obsessed with these Royals is beyond me. They are drones and a burden on the British economy. I couldn't care less about Meghan and Harry. Oprah Winfrey should have asked Prince Harry why he dressed up as an SS Officer at a mascarade party. Now he's a advocate for racial justice?

Your country, my country was colonized by multiple cultures, Brits, Spanish, German (Pennsylvania Dutch), Dutch (New York). and French. All had their own impact in their particular area of suppression. The Brits may have won out in the ultimate structure of the govetnmrnt, but many colonies and multiple European cultures left their mark.

It's bigger than Meghan and Harry. Racism is coming to the forefront in society, culture, and politics because the status quo has met it point of diminishing return. Demographics has changed significantly enough that marginalized communities have gained enough confidence to begin claiming their what is rightfully theirs by numbers and contribution.
