Its been a while since I have updated my blog. I am sorry to my readers for the deafening silence, but it has been a season of silence for me. Even our favourite shows on Netflix do take breaks in between seasons. Well, the first season of our polygamous journey had to come to an end, and it was a very dramatic end, as you all know, Hagar was put away, and a lot of changes has been going on in the King’s Harem, especially the anticipation of the royal seeds, so I couldn’t just continue penning, I had to take a break as well, and will certainly return soon with the second season of King Of The North, if I may call it that…lol
I am not sure whether I am entirely back from my break or not, but this is one story I couldn’t afford to waste. Today United Kingdom is in some sort of meltdown over one woman, Meghan Markle. And before I go into my article, anyone who is a royalist and yet find my lifestyle of polygamy abnormal, then you have no business even singing, “God save the Queen, let her reign over us.” I am a black woman who is a traditionalist, my forefathers lived this lifestyle of polygamy, and just like the British royal family, we can’t all be modern, some of us have to uphold the traditions of our forefathers, which in today’s world doesn’t quite have a place, though we are supposed to be living in a so called tolerant society.
Now that I have got that out of my chest, I can get on with my Meghan Markle article, a woman who married into a “traditional patriarchal” British royal family, but no longer wishes to continue being a “senior” member of this famous family, and her husband has taken the lead in supporting his wife.
As a citizen of the United Kingdom, I do not have a problem with the decision of Harry and Meghan to “quit” the royal family and move to Canada, considering the hate Meghan receives from the mainstream British Media, I think that was the obvious direction this ongoing saga/circus was going to take.
So of course I don’t have a problem with Meghan walking away, I think she has to walk away, but what I have a problem with is black people desperately trying to turn this Meghan Markle circus into some BLACK issue. I have a big problem with black people all over Britain, literally weeping from rooftops that Meghan Markle is a victim of racism. Black people have been desperate to claim Meghan Markle since the day she said “I do” to the white Prince. They were so grateful that finally a white Prince in all his superior glory had finally found a “black” woman worthy of his love. This was a breakthrough for black people, that finally one of them was now in the palace, worthy of white love. I heard black people say things like, “Finally we have made it guys, Meghan has done it for us.” Even if Meghan was an actual black woman, for an entire race to think like this is pathetic, even houseflies value themselves more than black people do. What makes this even worse is that Meghan Markle is not even a black woman, she has never even once called herself black. She is the seed of a white man.
Her best friend is a white woman. Her ex-husband is a white man. Today her advisers for her new life are high powered elite Hollywood white men. She lives in a white world, there is not a single thing about her which makes her even relate to black people.
Yet today, as Meghan Markle fights her own battle with the British Media, you have black people losing their heads over Meghan Markle being a so called victim of racism. How does a woman who looks nothing like a black woman be a victim of racism? In her recent pictures in Canada, the woman looked whiter than her white husband.
For you to be a victim of racism, especially from white people, you actually have to look a certain way. You have to look black. In fact the darker you are, the more racism you face. For you to be a victim of racism, people have to despise your skin colour. They have to be disgusted by your skin pigmentation. They have to despise you because of your SKIN colour. That is what racism actually is. It goes back to the plantation days, where the darker the slaves, the harder life was, the lighter the slaves, the better the treatment they received. The lighter skinned slaves were promoted to house slaves whilst the darker skinned slaves worked on the plantations.
Its still like that today, nothing has changed. Black women with darker skin face more racism and prejudice even from their fellow black people than lighter skinned black women. Even in entertainment, lighter skinned black women are preferred to dark skinned women.
Then you have a woman, who is not even just a light skinned black woman, she is biracial, with her father being white. She came out looking white, she doesn’t even look mixed race, she looks like a slightly tanned white woman. If you are not told that her mother is black, you would never know that she has black blood in her, that’s how white Meghan looks. And now, according to black people, this white looking biracial woman is now the biggest victim of racism in today’s world.
Today I read an article about rapper Stormzy coming out to defend Meghan Markle saying she is a sweet black woman! That was the final straw for me really, it made me so angry. I am sick and tired of black men who can’t even stand being with black women trying to lecture the world on what racism actually is. Stormzy will never find himself dating an actual black woman, he is the kind of man who will never be with a woman who looks like his mother. So yes, he will call Meghan Markle a “sweet black woman”, because these are the types of women he is attracted to, safe enough to be called black, but not embarrassingly black enough like his mother, with the nappy hair and a wig to cover it. He dated Maya Jama, a woman who made a name for herself laughing and mocking dark skinned women, yet Stormzy will say Maya Jama is a black woman.
When Stormzy said Meghan Markle is a victim of racism because she is a black woman, I then said enough of this bullshit, I am writing my own article.
God knows I love my people, He knows I do, but I have never seen a people so pathetic and mad, so desperate and needy of white validation.
I don’t even think Meghan herself sees this whole pantomime as racism, I mean talk about black people crying more than the bereaved.
Meghan Markle’s treatment by the British Media and public has nothing to do with her so called race, or lack of it, she is actually one of them.
If Meghan Markle was a black woman, I mean the type of black woman who really is black, you know wig wearing and all, she would have never made it into the British Royal Family. Harry would have never. He wouldn’t even. If she looked like Jamelia with her Afro, or June Sarpong with her wig, Harry could not possibly even look at her, never mind bringing her home to his Nana. The only reason Meghan Markle made it to Buckingham Palace is because a white man fathered her, and she looks nothing like a black woman. The sooner black people accept this, the sooner there may be a chance of them being delivered from the sunken place they dwell in. Meghan Markle is not a victim of racism and will never be. Sorry.
So where is this breakthrough for black British women? How is Meghan a representation of black women?
And please black people, do yourselves a favour and stop going on Good Morning Britain to make total fools of yourselves trying to convince Piers Morgan that he is racist towards Meghan Markle. Each time he asks you guys to explain yourselves as to how he has been racist towards Meghan, you can’t even give him a straight answer without stammering. Stop trying to beg white people to stop being racist, it’s desperate and embarrassing, and please don’t use Meghan Markle to do your dirty cringe work.
Stay out of this war black people, its not your battle. She is one of them okay. They just happen to hate her, for obvious reasons which have nothing to do with her so called melanin, or rather lack of it. She’s a drama queen. White people hate each other too. They also fight within themselves. This is a spiritual battle in their Kingdom.
Instead of getting our knickers in a twist, grieving more than the bereaved, and trying desperately to claim a woman who is not ours, its better to get popcorn out and just watch the drama that this white beauty is creating.
Let Meghan Markle do her thing, let her do what she has to do, let her manipulate and scheme and cause as much drama as she can, that’s her calling. Stop trying to stop the process with your never ending attention seeking screams of racism, let the woman do what God has called her to do in peace. Let the British Tabloids write what they have to write, let them call Meghan Markle all sorts of names, which in all fairness, some she deserves. Let Piers Morgan say what he has to say about Meghan. Let Eamonn Holmes tell the world that he finds Meghan repulsive and unlikable and uppity. Stormzy you are the one who needs to shut the fuck up mate. Please black people, keep your black noses out of this one. God can hear your cry without using Meghan Markle, she is not your saviour.
Prophecy is actually trying to be fulfilled here, for the benefit of the elect at the end of it, if only black people stop interfering and acting like idiots, the process would be quicker.

Point completely ignored in the article is not about claiming someone that you don’t know as your own, it’s more about how someone is treated with racism by the MSM, purely on declaration of her own self-admission of being a PoC as opposed to even remotely looking like one! Irony is that if MM can attract legions of racist, what more so for someone who was actually Black? Further irony missed, is that the white establishment Prince has had to flee his country, because of the racism directed at his Wife in the MSM, SM and from bigoted TV pundits! if Harry has had enough after 2yrs, how we have the experience of institutionalised and overt racism, feel after experiencing it for decades? If there is one positive thing that has come out of the MM/PH media intrusion, is to clearly expose the racist underbelly of the UK!

Thanks for your insightful view. As an American I find the blogger message confusing. In some black families in America you have family members with all different sorts of skin complexions and hair textures. We understand most whites and a few blacks prefer black people that are lighter skin tone but that’s their problem. I personally don’t agree with the term “mixed race.” This term gets thrown around when a person has a white parent but we all know black folk who don’t have a white parent but look more white than her. Identity has more to do with how people view a person rather than anything else. Do to marrying and relationship patterns over last 400 years in America it’s confusing and complex to start labeling people based solely on appearances. We all know many people who have a white parent and do not have very light skin.

Thank you for saying this.

I don’t think your music or literature preference determines how you identify yourself racially. Im a black, girl, yet all my life (even today), I’ve always preferred soft rock over hip-hop.
This doesn’t mean I identify more with white people than black, it just means I enjoy one music genre over the other, but it doesn’t take away from my identity as a black person.
I’ve been accused of being a coconut because I don’t fit the social profile of how a “black person should behave”.
All my life, I’ve also been made fun of by guys because I “don’t have an ass” or not as curvy as other black women.
“You’re beautiful, but you don’t have an ass to hold onto,” some of them told me.
It used to bother me at first but I later shrug it off and refuse to let people tell me who Im or what Im not. Just because I look a certain way or have different taste doesn’t make me less part of my race. I know for a fact that there’s a white person out there who prefers hip-hop over rock music, it doesn’t make them any less white.

I beg to disagree, she might not be full black but that doesn’t mean she is not black. The fact remains that she is biracial with black blood flowing in her veins.

I agree with you.As myself, I am biracial,in that exactly half of my descent is white,and half is black,and I don’t come from one white and one black parent,but from parents both of whom were of equally black/white mixed descent. So that looking similar to Megan,I can see things about her that neither a black,nor a white person can see.,but that a biracial can detect from our own experience
To me she looks white,but also looks biracial, as many biracials have features that lean more to white than to black. But her nose is not really narrow,like typical white noses are. Her skin tone is not really pale, but more of a light olive ,similar to my own. And looking at her closely in photos of her with the royal family, she looks close in hue to them, but still a tad bit darker. All you need to do to close the deal and look outright white ,if you are a light skinned mixed race woman with close to white facial features-is straighten your biriacial curly hair to pin straight like Megan does, and bam you look not mixed,but bingo “white” Plus Megan pulls it off,because she has tons of LONG NATURALLY curly tresses that she tames straight, and everyone knows that long straight hair equals white woman hair.
Remember Lena Horne,she looked to me just as white as Megan,- fact Lena Horne light skinned and had completely caucasian facial featurer,like a nose narrower than most white people around her. Lena similar to myself, not being of one white and one black parent,was a mixed raced woman of largely substantial white ancestry-but still considered herself one of the black community. She identified with her black heritage, as does Mariah Carey-,Lonette Mckee, and countless others. These just mentioned biracials could have well fit into white society,with no problem,,but instead chose not to shun their black side, They dated black socialized with black, and embraced their black heritage. Megan Markle chose to do otherwise.To each his own I guess.

Yes a biracial (black/white) who looks white,(or thinks she does) may look around her and see that white women have it easier in America,than do black women(whether light or dark skinned black women,both have it hard,as black people in United States).Could make a biracial like Megan decide,to live in the white world partake of what white people partake of,enter white society. One way to achieve this is marry into the white world,another way is to pass as white. Well Megan did not pass as white,if she had,then it would not be well known that her mom is African America. So she took the route of marrying into white society.OK she fell in love,but that still is what she did.
But how do you, a biracial half black woman, marry into and become the first non white person in that royal family, among everybody else in that group who’re lily white, and not feel different from the group,colorwise. A lot to reckon with, has to be.
I don’t know how it is in United Kingdom,but in United States-you are identified by gender first,race,and color 2nd,and everything else about you comes after those two main things.So unless in England it is different,and your color does not identify you,Megan had to have been thought of within the royal family nonwhite-person of color,different from their white selves. The Queen Elizabeth seems like a sweet kind and compassionate person,and is kind and gracious to Megan. But it amazes me- how in the world did Megan think that she could fit into white society unless she did so as a person of color,and not as “one of them”. No wonder she got confused. Megan and her prince,did the wisest and most practical thing,exit the royal location,and live as commoners elsewhere,in California.

So it doesn’t mean that you will come across people that are racist towards her and also very jealous e as we all know most young white people all want to look mixed these not white.

Yes-Mariah Carey’s father is African American/Afro/venzuealan, as result of a Venzuelian grandparent.and physically he looked typically black., not mixed.
Mixed means that no one color dominates your lineage,but-your lineage consists of equal inclusions of at least 2 races. Nearly all African Americans have some degree of white ancestry,as per white rape on slaves, they say 15 percent white on average. “African Americans” are said to be around 80 percent or more predominantly of African Ancestry,and therefore black, or African American
Depending upon which white enslaved their ancestors,whether Irish,English,etc, it would be just as correct to identify many black Americans even with only 10 percent white ancestry-as African/English or African/Irish,same as Miriah’s father is called a Afro/Venzuelian. He is just as black as any American of predominantly African ancestry is black.

Finally, an honest look at this situation.
Like you say, Meghan does not identify as black. She never has. She never will. Even as a bi-racial woman she has never supported or backed the black community. She always appealed to her whiteness, moving with white friends and boyfriends, public fawning over her white dad, never openly saying “I am black” because she knew her whiteness was what will make her successful and offer her more opportunities.
With her pre-existing platform and resources she was still silent on Black Lives Matter. Silent on the nuances of black feminism. Silent on black civil rights. Silent on police brutality. Even recently she ignored the large Afro-Caribbean community in North Kensington by supporting the mosque kitchen instead of the numerous black kitchens and centres that are closer to Grenfell… Yet she has a black preacher and choir at her wedding and everyone buys into her black rebrand? Seriously?
There are so many black and biracial icons in the public eye who have achieved their success by embracing their colour and supporting fellow PoC who deserve defending instead of Meghan who has done nothing except marry into the highest echelons of whiteness. The crazy and aggres3sjve support for her is very, very misplaced.

To say that she is not racially abused because she’s the white mans seed is a bit much, I mean it’s there for all to see! At first because you mentioned “the white Mans seed I thought this was an American post because I thought you were referring to the problematic one drop rule, but then I saw you talk of Julie Sarpong and Jamelia and then thought yeah UK
Yes Mixed race people aren’t exactly black but although we don’t have a one drop rule Mixed people here are racialised in society as black.
Furthermore most if not all mixed children live the black experience many
Many of those “white mens seeds” were in the plantations dark skinned slaves although often given privileges above their darker skin counterparts.
Also consider the trauma mixed race children faced in Liverpool during the early 20th century the racist scientific projects they and their fathers had to endure I’m pretty sure a lot of the were never called “honky” and “mayo” but I’m sure they’ve had “nigger” and “coon” thrown at them
The Stormzy comments are a bit much too but spot on about Maya but maya is a product of systemically educated colourism among “real black people” and intensified Eurocentric beauty normalisation it’s really not her fault it’s what society has been conditioned to.
mixed people have grown arrogant as they are more favoured by European beauty standards than dark skinned people only white people are to blame for that as it’s their beauty standard
Lastly I totally hear that there are black men who will not date black women. But I know black women and have seen black women across the media who have openly said they wouldn’t date black men. When a black man says he wouldn’t date a black woman, black women are bothered by it but roles reversed when black women say I wouldn’t date a black guy black men don’t bat an eye lid and keep it moving.

That’s not what people are saying on this thread. What they are saying is that Megan as American, strove to belong to white culture,using her close to white looks to achieve it. And so she called herself mixed race woman,instead of black woman. I mean even the biracial black/white women who look equally or more so as white as Megan, identify as biracial,but still as a black woman as well .You’ve got Mariah Cary, Lonette Mckee Venessa williams,(no venessa william,does not have one white,and one black parent, but her DNA showed as much European as African lineage),also Lena Horn,etc etc.-all of whom as half white and as white looking as they were,- they acknowledged themselves as mixed race, but still identified as black as well., I too identify myself as such.
But Megan went outside of the box,has never has called herself black, as if black is a bad word or something, Calls herself mixed race instead. Why? Because she had an agenda to be seen as different from black people. Some nerve she had,–when for centuries there have been millions of racially mixed women,(and men ) in the black community every bit as as mixed with white as she. But Megan Markle seems to think herself black/white mix is unique.

Wonderful article. I am biracial and proud of who I am, not choosing one race but choosing my own path. If I must be a racially category, like Meghan, I choose mixed-race. Biracial people are not black, and yes I know we are not white either (as if that’s not obvious).
The winners of the ODR are whites, who get to have a black person around who is not even black.
The loosers of the ODR are real black people, who will always be forced to play second fiddle to the biracial and multicultural people who are seen as the ideal and evolved black.
End the ODR and half the issues black people have with their self-image and ethnic unity goes away.

I am bi-racial, I identify as black, my skin color is darker than most fully-black people. I am black, just like Obama is black. Anyone who tries to tell me or any other bi-racial people, including Meghan Markle, that they are not black are all pieces of shit and each and every one of you can fuck off. I am black and that is it. I didn`t see anyone during Obama`s run as President call him anything but the first black President you ignorant hypocrites.

Absolutely agree with you. I remember when their engagement was announced, on News Night, one of the journalists from Gal-Dem magazine said that Meghan was ‘the acceptable face of blackness’.
As a Black Brit, I was wondering if this sophisticated, enlightened and educated black woman did not realize what she was ‘getting into’.
I cringed when I saw her in an interview and said on meeting Harry, she did not know who he was!!? I would expect her to have done some sort of research, at least make proper use of people like Piers Morgan on finding out more about the family. Plus, I would expect her to have been woke of another woman in the past, a woman who was an aristocrat, and who found this family, also difficult.
But perhaps, she felt she’d make a difference; that her ’fairness’ would somehow make her exempt from all the usual ‘black’ things they found intolerable. But my understanding of American history that the one drop rule, racial classification in white people’s eyes still makes you black! What I find interesting is even the whites in the UK, who do not consider themselves as racist as their white American counterparts, also believe quietly in this one drop rule. And perhaps that is one of the reasons why Meghan wants to leave – because she is seen as Black, and not mixed-race.
It was clearly a rude awakening for Her and for Him, and I am sorry about that but – she should have known what she was letting herself in for.
I take your point that we as a community should just shut up and allow this woman to get on and do what she chooses to do so. But what I find alarming is how white Britain is also incredibly dishonest about racism in Britain and how we, the community, has not been asked once, if we feel the UK is racist. It annoys me that I have to see Oprah’s friend, TV presenter Gayle, put some royal biographer to task because of their refusal to accept certain truths about this country. When asked about the racist tweet put out by Danny Baker, she also could not give a straight answer, without stammering!
So yeah, going on and on about racism is like hitting your head against the brick wall – you’re wasting your time and nothing will come out of it. But, if we decide that the best way of doing things is to behave like an ostrich and sink our heads beneath the sand, that will not do any good either. A great article, by the way.

Too much confusion and disagreement about what constitutes a black or a white person. Some are using the one drop rule. Others going by skin color. Others by color of parents and grandparents. The term black has no accepted universal meaning at all. Neither does race.

Reviving this thread here after she claimed to feel “black” for the first time when dealing with the royals. I’m American mixed race, Black/Chinese but look outwardly like a typical African American. Most African Americans get it, she’s culturally white, based on her social circles and husbands. There are many like her here. Usually it’s how one is raised in America. If mixed race people grow up in white culture they tend to stay that way, and vise versa. Of course their are always exceptions. But being an American, divorcee and not completely white is triple shock to Her Royal Highness and crew, who historically marry cousins and of the same class. So she was unpalatable on many levels. As for her now “feeling black”, well, welcome to our world, Meghan.

The only person I feel sorry for is Meghan’s mother,raising a daughter who shuns her blackness preferring straight hair to the afro..Harry genuinely loves her but for how long.

He tried to get Rhianna at a Lakers and she said absolutely no!! he was not her type, she also used to be friends with Serena Williams and she is using the wealthy Black people to benefit herself i. e. Oprah, Tyler perry, Quincy Jones, the Obamas, after they cut a lucrative deal with Netflix, Harry wanted to know if they could help him land a deal. And if she was passing, where was her Mother, hiding in the wood Pile, remember George Jefferson

As I look at the dilemna Meghan Markle is going through with the British Royal Family,it made me think about my nephew ,his wife and their baby daughter. My nephew is Black, the wife is White and their daughter is mixed race( Black).
As I think about how they will be raising their daughter,I put myself in their position and wondered that as an African American woman and observing what Meghan is dealing with..what lessons I can learn( Actually been doing before he got involved with his wife) from it? My nephew is well versed about racism and he’s not ignorant about it. The wife, I don’t know but as they are raising their daughter, I hope that he/they will educate them about the following:
1. Meghan’s mom admitted to not properly educating her about African American/ African history and her dad just raising her as ” biracial “. For my nephew ,I hope that he’ll educate my niece and expose to more Black people / kids. / history. I don’t know about other people, but I see my niece as Black / mixed raced (Black). That is how White Brits see her as well as most of the world. Respectfully, I hate the ” biracial ” category as any mixed race non Black person ( e.g White/ Asian or Black/ Native American) can be that. I prefer Black/ mixed race ( Black)
2. While I do respect people who choose to classify themselves as biracial, at the same time for people like Meghan Markle’ s White father to get offended at her teacher classifying for her as Black OFFENDS me. She is Black as she is White. I just find it offensive when people like him gets offended for saying she Black like its filth. In my time( the 80s),I went to school with some of the coolest Mixed Race Black people in the world . I knew one of them .He didn’t have no problem being called Black/ mixed . Recently ,he and his Black Puerto Rican American wife took a trip to Johannesburg South Africa. I admit,going there,I wondered would he be classified as a ” colored” or the Black man he declared himself as?. If him saying that he was” happy to be to be on the motherland “indicates anything of how he see himself. Overall, he never had a problem being either. Whether Black/ mixed race Black,I would see him as a great teacher for my niece.I loved his pride.
3.I hope that my niece will not to think that she’s better than African/ African Americans. Even with some of my Black relatives I had to put an end to their colorism.Meghan’s skin tone is mentioned on here. Yes, the lighter skinned slaves were better treated than the darker ones but that wasn’t a great form of treatment. My niece is Meghan’s tone,but I wouldn’t want her to only have so called friends who will only “tolerate” her because she looks White/ supposedly act White as Meghan have mentioned happened to her. If White people limits liking her Blackness based on such, I hope that she would drop them. They ‘re not really liking her blackness,they will only like the idea that you come closest to them. Eventually, they will let them know who she is.
Lastly, Black is beautiful and there is nothing wrong with it. I’m not mixed race but I am an African American. I also grew up in a predominantly White community. Unlike Meghan’s parents,my folks wanted my siblings and I to be proud of being Black and exposed us to the truth about our heritage via magazines,TV and other Black people. Judging by media ,all Black people are supposed to hopeless,hookers or drug dealers. The Black life that I know was nothing like that. All I knew were Black people who wanted prosperity. They owned businesses, were college graduates, ministers teachers,civil rights leaders and lived in beautiful homes. My late grandfather who graduated from an HBCU had a home build my dad and his family…in a upper crust Black community. Even my mom ,who grew up poor, knew some well to do Black people in her hometown who owned their own businesses. Some of my Black friends came from these neighborhoods. If people think that the only Black people out there are athletes,rappers ,singers and are no good.. they have no idea about Black people.
I trust that they especially, my nephew, will be ready for the day but just in case they don’t,my siblings and I already promised that well take the job. I will have Black history books in tow ,going to Black museums and just like my folks expose me to the real Black world. Thankfully, where I live,I have access to these things.
Meghan claimed that she didn’t know what it was like being treated like a Black woman. I couldn’t believe she said that. What did she mean being treated like a “mixed woman”? Tolerated as I mentioned on here I guess? I knew that I wasn’t White since the age of 4 just by looking at my White friends.
Yep..I’m just praying that my niece won’t be that dense and love who she is.
