AP says 'Prince Harry Meghan's' claims of racism were 'painfully familiar' for black women around the globe

First things first: Is it just a typo or did the Associated Press mean to refer to “Prince Harry Meghan”? Because he does seem to have been subsumed into her being.

Second, always question a headline that reads “some say,” because then you’ll read the piece and it’ll be one professor who makes the same claim no matter what the situation. In either case, Meghan Markle’s claims of racism in the royal family were painfully familiar for “Black women around the globe.” That’s … quite a claim.

For Black women around the globe, the push back to Prince Harry Meghan's claims of racism were painfully familiar. Some say it is yet another example of a Black woman’s experiences with racism being disregarded through denials and gaslighting. https://t.co/OXMkTVLrFJ

Prince Harry Meghan? Have they melded into one?

“Prince Harry Meghan.” Basically, yeah.

OK, we’re being 100 percent honest now: We just opened up the article, and who does “some say” turn out to be? Gaye Theresa Johnson, associate professor in the Department of African American Studies at UCLA. Called that one from a mile away.

Johnson said the doubts and questioning cast against Meghan’s claims were emotionally wrenching for many Black women, who may relate to the trauma of having their personal experiences with racism invalidated by others.

“It’s an insult when people are incredulous about the racism people like Meghan Markle experienced because that incredulity speaks volumes about what people refuse to see, what is right in front of their eyes all the time and that some people have to navigate daily,” she said.

No… attempting to make us believe that this insanely rich literal princess is being oppressed is the gaslighting.

You could easily rewrite this as "Some say it is yet another example of a rich Black woman continuing to push victimhood despite a literal Cinderella life."

She literally scapegoated black people to make herself look like a victim.

These black women indeed need help, only to stop sinking deeper into mental disorder due to persecutory delusion.

More divisive propaganda by design

This simplistic, reductive, dehumanizing worldview should be profoundly offensive to every reasonable and decent person. https://t.co/SMd5XZ1Omj

Yawnnnnn. I hope the black women across the globe are getting tired of you making them sound like incompetent fools! Unable to care for themselves or deal with issues. You sound like the racist.

Africa is 90% Black. Racism is not a really a thing there..maybe tribalism…so which globe are you referring to?

— Bey T Samuel 베아 (@JustBeaTee) March 10, 2021

I guess you have never been to Africa. Almost everyone is Black and they don't go around portraying themselves as victims. They have pride. Meghan is an entitled Grifter, not a victim

Don’t you dare “attack” Markle or Chris Cuomo will call you a “righty mouth” and it would serve you right.

Adult male Chris Cuomo wants to see the ‘righty mouths’ attacking Meghan Markle’s credibility justify this ‘non-denial’ https://t.co/a0ey0EYZzT
