Meghan Markle addresses racism in resurfaced clip
A 2012 video of Meghan Markle speaking out about her own experience with racism has resurfaced amid the worldwide protests following the death of George Floyd while in police custody. Markle, whose father, Thomas Markle, is white and mother, Doria Ragland, is black explained how her diverse background affected her growing up. “I’m biracial,” she said in the clip. “Most people can’t tell what I’m mixed with, and so much of my life has felt like being a fly on the wall. And so, some of the slurs that I’ve heard, or the really offensive jokes, or the names, it’s just hit me in a really strong way.” Markle, 38, said she then heard one of those racial slurs used directly toward Ragland, 63. “You know, a couple of years ago, I heard someone call my mom the N-word,” she said. “So I think, for me, beyond being personally affected by racism, just to see the landscape of what our country is like right now, certainly the world, and to want things to be better.” The video was filmed for the “I Won’t Stand for Racism” campaign launched by the charity Erase the Hate. “I am really proud of my heritage on both sides,” the former “Suits” star concluded in the video. “I’m really proud of where I come from and where I’m going, but yeah, I hope that by the time that I have children that people are even more open-minded to how things are changing and that having a mixed world is what it’s all about.” The post Meghan Markle addresses racism in resurfaced clip appeared first on Today's Evil Beet Gossip.
Royal wears ‘racist’ brooch to Christmas lunch with Meghan Markle
Princess Michael of Kent sparked fury after wearing a “racist” blackamoor brooch to the Queen’s annual Christmas lunch. The royal, who is married to the Queen’s cousin Prince Michael, proudly sported the brooch on her coat as she was driven into Buckingham Palace on Wednesday. Blackamoor is a style of artwork dating back from the 18th Century which is usually found in sculpture, jewelry and textiles in which black men and women are often depicted as slaves. The royal lunch would have been the first time Princess Michael met Prince Harry‘s biracial fiancée Meghan Markle. The American actress’s mom Doria Ragland is black and has often spoken of racism she experienced as a child and as an adult. Outraged social media users slammed her for her choice in jewelry. One said: “Has no-one noticed the blackamoor pin that Princess Michael of Kent is wearing? Really? Meghan Markle official meets the family and is greeted by THIS?” Another hit out at her “racist jewelry” while a third added: “I hope the Queen is going to ban this racist, horrible woman from any further gatherings. This woman is an embarrassment to the Royal Family.” It’s not the first time the royal — dubbed Princess Pushy — has been embroiled in a race storm. In 2004, she was accused of insulting black party guests at a New York restaurant by allegedly telling them to “go back to the colonies” in a row over noise. She strongly denied the claims and said she would be “ready to go back to the colonies” during the dispute with the table.
