Some people thought Prince Philip wasn't good enough for the Queen because he was Greek and didn't have much money, they called him "Phil the Greek". Background is an important thing for people marrying into Royalty, it's not a skin tone thing.

Similar to how raheem sterling was treated In the press. It's quite obvious the differences in stories between white and black people.
Yeah it's not like the media absolutely savaged David Beckham for getting a red card

Good for you. If you can't see them making a connection between gangster rap and Meghan when no such connection applies I can't help you. Would they have said straight out of Compton if she was a white girl from LA? Would they they hell. She's not even from Compton.

What has that got to do with Sterling and his coverage in the press? That was due to Beckham kicking a player in the world cup finals and getting sent off. It had nothing to do with him personally, with who he is.
Don't you see??? Apparently you're racist if you're unable to notice a racist dog whistle which only racists can notice
I mean you can't make this stuff up, logic plays absolutely zero part in these types of claims. People really don't have to look far to see actual racism in the world yet some will continually looks for the tiniest, most insignificant comment to twist and make out that it's all a big "hidden dog whistle", which just sounds like CT nonsense to me, and whilst they're wasting their life on nothing, they ignore the actual racist stories from around the world.

If you whistle when a beauty lady passes you buy, you will get charged with rape nowadays

Nothing to do with it, nothing similar at all, totally missed/ignored the point.
Happens a lot in the DM, different takes on similar stories if white or not. One will be a relatively positive slant, similar story on a black person will be mostly negative slant. Much like Markle.

For someone that doesn't really give a damn you sure are getting wound up.....
I came across the video of that "journalist" getting owned on twitter and that video of Harry was in the thread. We all know your feeling on these matters and how easily you are wound up by the other sex and people with more melanin than you.
And no I don't care for the royals. I don't believe in a monarchy, its an out dates institution.

Well don't worry, it seems Harry and Meghan agree and have resigned from The Firm, so all's happy and good
I no longer have a horse in the race, I foresaw trouble from the start, and here it is.
Yes. "White" people who did the same thing were treated far worse than he was. Up to and including, for example, national newspapers printing their faces as targets for dart boards (or shooting ranges).
But heaven forbid a "black" person is treated anywhere near as badly as a "white" person in the same circumstances. Anti-white racists will be aghast at a member of what they see as the most superior race being treated the same way as what they see as the most inferior race. They'll claim (and maybe even believe) that it's racist to treat the master race the same way as the most inferior race. They'll probably also rant about the imaginary dog whistles. Their delusion resulting in auditory hallucinations.

I couldn't care less about the royals either, and I'm the OP. Discussing a subject doesn't necessarily mean you are emotionally attached to the subject matter... It's not like I've been crying my eyes out and screeching for a Mod every time I see an opposing point of view.
I can't speak for at @chroniclard but I'd hazard a guess that isn't the point he's making. With the press typically everyone is in the firing line at some point. It generates sales and is expected. Rather that, he's looking at the way person X and Y could do the same action, such as buying their mother a house or eating an avocado , but have very different headlines and tones written about them

Maybe i wasn't clear in what I wrote but I don't care for the royals as an institution, I'd happy do way with the whole thing. Doesn't mean I can't comment when the press followed by the public go after 2 of them for what in part is clearly based on the colour of skin?
