      Pity you did not mention her mother Dorian had a sentence of 10 years and she was in jail 4 years because she tried to ruin Mr Markle her ex-husband, even more, you did not speak about how Meghan lied to get the role of Suits, that she confessed in TV. and pictures and videos showed on youtube she was obsessed with Royal Family and proves that she still obsesses with lady DI, dressing, makeup, gestures and so and so.
      She never presents depression, she lives with him 1 year and after they have a country house outside Kensington Palace, that the media found out, so she never being a victim, the victims were the people who worked for her.

    I totally agree with this as an English person I do have one thing to add
    I do remember how kate was treated when she first joined the family - now she is loved by the press but initially the media painted her as a gold digging commoner who parents were capitalising on the wedding. They seemed to drop this narrative shortly before Megan came into the picture and then pitted them against each other, and claimed to love kate all along. So if you want a real comparison of treatment - I reckon compare the early days of Kate to the early days of Meg to pick up the differences and nauces. Because boy did they hate kate and pippa

Just because you have something besides black ancestry in your blood doesn't mean you can't connect to being black. This is exactly the problem, why tf do you even care so much that they don't separate themselves as one or the other while they're just expressing gratefulness towards the video?

I've heard countless stories of abusers not showing who they really were until after they got a ring on the victim's finger. I'm not implying anything about Harry so much as I am talking about the monarchy and media. Still, you never know how things will end when you're still at the beginning. As an American, I had no idea that Britain and the British media are as judgmental and downright racist as they are. I remember thinking "So what? He's marrying a black woman, whoop dee doo!" (not how I think now, but I was a lot less educated then and I have way more understanding and empathy now). I never realized that their marriage was actually a huge deal for Britain, and how upset the media there was over it. I'd be willing to say there was no way Meghan could know how brutal and bad it would be.

      Diana and Dodi had been dating for at most, six weeks when they died. This comment makes no sense for several reasons. The press went wild over Dodi because he was from a famous family--his father owned Harrod's, which was THE name in luxury shopping (Fun fact, though less relevant to the British public at the time too, but Dodi was also first cousins, through his mother, with the late Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi). However, in the two years prior to her death, Diana had been dating a Pakistani Muslim heart surgeon named Hasnat Khan, and at one point, discussed marriage with him but he balked at the media attention. They split up in June of 1997 and Diana started dating Dodi in July 1997. Hasnat has gone on record saying that Diana took her contraceptive pills religiously, up to the time they ended their relationship. If she got with Dodi in July, and died at the end of August, it really seems like a HUGE stretch for her to quit taking her pills, have her cycle regulate itself again, and get pregnant all within the span of 6-8 weeks. Even if she had been pregnant, I doubt she would have known herself, let alone the royal family.

    I'm really liked and agree with your sentiment at the end: we all have biases and issues; no one is "unproblematic". I think there's this thing where people who are systemically discriminated against don't note their own non-systemic discrimination against other people (an example could be a black person discriminating against an Asian person, perpetuating stereotypes, etc.) as... important, I think I'll put it that way. But, yes, socialisation brought us all up so everyone has things they have to deal with. And that's alright. In my humble opinion.
    Another thing I saw in another video was a lack of sympathy/empathy for Meghan because she is a light-skinned and biracial and rich. Sometimes, I am concerned by the lack of empathy people have towards others because they have one privilege or the other. Everyone is human and can go through things and invalidating someone else's experience because they are in one socio-cultural-economic group of the other is simply not okay. And not because we all have some privilege (e.g. I'm able-bodied), but because it just is not. Not saying to excuse people - just to not forget to humanize them. For instance, cyber-bullying a person who has been exposed for racist statements is not okay. Sending death threats is not okay, no matter what anyone does. In my humble opinion.

    • @JQGLOVER
      @JQGLOVER 3 роки тому +19

      It's interesting that this is the viewpoint from across the pond however it's not really accurate at all. After Diana did her interview the public were very much on Diana's side, there were some people who didn't agree with her airing out the Royal families business but majority of the public and press were in her favour. After that interview Prince Charles was told to end their separation with divorce as the relationship was untenable by that point. William and Harry have always been loved and held dear by the public. Their milestones have always been reported in the British press. It was because of the British outpouring of grief and sympathy for those children and Diana why she received a state funeral as the current prime minister thought anything less would be permanently damaging to the monarchy ( not that they didn't care , but their idea was that it should be a private affair for the family) Don't get me wrong there are racist people in the UK and some people did not like her because of her ethnicity , but to be fair when I first saw a picture if her I thought she was Latin American, so I doubt most white people in the UK twigged she was mixed until the press started to talk about her in the news. The biggest issue that people had after the announcement of their engagement was the age difference and the fact that she has been divorced and to cap it all off some people thought the relationship moved too fast (allegedly his brother thought so too), so I think the idea if her being a gold digger was an issue. To be fair after Harry called out the press for some of the racist innuendo reporting that pretty much stopped. The vast majority of Brits who enjoyed their wedding and were excited to see what they could bring to the country , this all happend post Brexit so for alot of people it gave some hope as to the direction we were heading in particular with indicating that the Commonwealth would play a bigger role in the future of Britain. For those who supported them it did feel like a kick in the teeth, however being a working royal is a big sacrifice and if you're not able , willing or capable of working under so much spotlight and critique it's unfair to force anyone to make that sacrifice. They did what was best for them and most reasonable brits after the announcement came to terms with that. What riled some people was the subsequent interviews which some saw as hypocrisy. PS I feel like there is also this desire that people ( US imparticular) want to draw comparisons between them and Edward and Wallis Simpson but without fully understanding the real reason the government imparticular thought it was unsuitable. Edward as well as Wallis were known Nazi sympathiers ( the couple actually toured Nazi Germany after their wedding in France) and supported many of Hitlers ideaolgies , there is significant and plausible evidence that Hitler was planning to use Edward as a way to continue his expansion into Europe, He had already leaked several state secrets the idea of a future king, supporting a force that we previously had been at war. with ( in WW1) was incredibly unpalatable. In a country at the time when everyone went to church on a Sunday and where if he had received his coronation Wouldham been the head of the church of England exposing that his fiance was a divorcee was the less of two evils compared to him giving up the keys to the country to Hitler.

      Princess Diana was always loved by British people. Charles not so much, he's been seen as a bit of a weirdo or geek, not relatable in the slightest. So when the interview came out he was seen as the villain. The Crown captured it really well.
      Also, I've found the press reporting of Meghan and Harry don't accurately reflect public opinion. People I talk to seem to dislike them because they've "bailed" and shouldn't have left the UK, they're "snowflakes". Most people don't care as much as the press want them too. Younger people sympathise more with the couple because mental health is more open and talked about. Older people think they should have "put up and shut up" with all the nastiness being spouted by the press, they shouldn't be doing all these interviews if they want a quiet life. Older people and a certain type of traditionalist are the ones who are hurt by Meghan. I find it weird how some sexist working class non educated males are annoyed by Meghan

    maybe it wasn't the point of the piece, but your little tangent at the end about 'you're not as good as you think you are' is actually incredibly comforting. i have a lot of social paranoia/anxiety about public perception and it's nice to hear the reminder that everyone is imperfect, and that we all have the ability to hold ourselves accountable and grow intellectually. anyway great video!

    I completely agree regarding the word racist. A lot of (white) people believe that racism means using the n word and lynching and are hyper sensitive to the use of the word.
    Hence they are more offended about being called racist than actually looking inwards into their actions

      Right! They go automatically into mega-defense mode, like telling them that this particular thing they did or said was racist or racially insensitive means you're lumping them in with the KKK and the Nazis. Like, calm down, there's layers to this. No one is accusing you of currently owning slaves, boo.

      If you individually are able to take feedback on racially problematic statements or actions in good spirit, (though your inability to refrain from having a knee jerk reaction in this case would seem to belie that claim just a little) then that's great and I encourage you to keep that same energy and share it with your peers. But maybe rethink how hard you feel the need to signal your enlightenment at the expense of being able to comprehend when you don't need to insert yourself into something that you yourself are claiming isn't about you.

    To her last point: I've started saying someone has Racist Tendencies or Behaviors to avoid essentialism. Essentialism is very dehumanizing and also implies a lack of nuance or ability to change. Calling someone racist immediately makes them defensive and they shut down instead of examining their behavior.

They called her "Waity Katie" for YEARS because they said she would put up with anything to get William's ring on her finger and considered her family to be social climbers.
      Honestly it surprised me a bit that W+K would be so unsupportive of H+M considering what they themselves went through. Maybe they were just glad to no longer be the ones under fire - Kate has definitely reaped the benefits of the press comparisons and has become the angel/ perfect princess in the narrative.
