Actually yes back to ofcom for her racist comment that he knows nothing about racism!
Also anyone who watched GMB yesterday and we’re disgusted by how Ranvir Singh behaved towards Paul Burrell yesterday, email GMB direct and complain because she shouldn’t get away with how she acted towards him
Email them here- GMB - gmb@itv.com
That sounds like a good next thread title to meTwo cunts living in LA dictating to the BBC and getting Piers fired.
Yes, they believe class and wealth have no bearing on someone's "lived experience".Maybe I’m misreading but don’t you mean they do believe race and sex has an impact on how people are perceived? i.e. as you say, a rich black businessman will have it worse than a working class white man purely because of his race?
Completely right though if I’ve understood correctly!
I've seen it brought up in FB groups a couple of times. The standard reply is that he was young and has apologised, shown maturity and hence all is forgiven. Interestingly, only the calling his army mate a derogatory term is ever brought up, the nazi uniform incident not.Why isn’t Harry’s racism bought up? , so America also have a racist royal amongst the midst.
Ohh I see, as in from the other perspective? So for example they would see it as because someone is a white man, regardless of their life experiences, they are privileged. I’m not articulating myself very well but we agree I’m pretty sureYes, they believe class and wealth have no bearing on someone's "lived experience".
They replace sex with gender, so the problems women face for biological reasons and misogyny (notice the -gyny) don't exist and don't have an impact on their standing.
But they believe race, heritage, gender, political leaning and sexuality are the things that matter and having any combination of these things has an impact on a person's "privilege".
I’m not African, I’m white British but even I found it very tone-deaf of her to say “nobody asked me if I’m ok” whilst visiting countries that have a lot of health issues, sick children, poverty and disparity between male and female rights.
Even I thought she did make it all about herself. I’d love to one day visit South Africa but I don’t really feel I got to see much of it from the coverage of their visit.
I thought Meghan had angered me as much as she could, but that Africa "no-one asks if I'm ok" interview still makes my blood pressure hit the roof. The utter selfishness when she had met children orphaned by HIV, been to a memorial for a young woman who was raped and murdered and seen people with unspeakably difficult lives, defies belief. The cruelty of Harry and Meghan whinging actually made me cry. I had been deeply moved by the strength of people's spirits and the scale of kindness and determination from those trying to help. As a woman, I especially felt great empathy towards women, so many of whom were hugely inspiring. I felt humbled and I thought everyone would.As an African I was deeply dissaponted.
They got to see some of the most amazing bits of South Africa and even got the taste some of the most diverse foods we have and I was saddend to see how they acted to the food.
South Africa is beautiful ... People are wonderful. Granted we have issues as everywhere does. But they turned it into a pity party.
Even meeting Desmond Tutu was turned into all about Meghan for a secondary interview.
She made that all about her. The work they were here doing was secondary to her playing the victim.
Not the causes they were here to highlight.
But we all know about Phil's comments. They're many and varied. But actually when did you last hear one? Maybe because he's not in public duty. Maybe he was educated and learned to shut up.Sorry but as an educated man who was working within the Commonwealth we cannot excuse Philip and we can't say it was just a racist joke - we need to call out racism where it is actually evident rather than the 'undertones'. Yes a different era but that is no excuse. Harry however IS different I agree so why has he not been called to account by Oprah?
He didn't look right in that clip at all. Is he on drugs or what? Is he finally starting to realise what he's done and how toxic Meghan is? I think the Queen has been amazing reaching out to try and save him from Smeggy and not being angry.Harry didn't look right in that clip with the Chickens when she was lying about how she wanted to get back to basics.He kept his head down and looked embarrassed.
I really don't think this is going to end well for him. Can see him taking his own life or having a breakdown. Especially when she leaves him.
Yes this!! I was really narked by Beyonce and the allowance of that. Like the MOBO could you imagine music of white origin? It's not just race. I absolutely hate international women's day. Where is International men's day? The inequality is everywhere....gender, education, race, sexuality to name a few.Much the same as Beyoncé’s “Black is King” on Disney+. What if someone made “White is King”? Why doesn’t equality mean we are equal? Why does it mean that people of colour can say what they like but while people can’t say anything or they’re racist.
I respectfully disagree.
Philip comes from a very different era. We can't deny it. We shouldn't deny it. That's what life was like. Benny hill, carry on films etc were the top watched shows. You could pretty much say what you wanted about other sexes, races, religions without any problem whatsoever.
Phillip has a military background - 'all lads together' in the forces...my god today we'd implode if we hear some of the banter from back then.
But as a society we have mostly moved on and we know what's acceptable and what isn't. Most of us shudder a little when we see old TV clips.
But the older ones amongst us find it hard to change their thinking. I must apologise here but my 75 year old dad still can't get his head around why it's not ok to use the p word for people from Pakistan. He says 'but it's just short for Pakistani' and he sees it as a friendly nickname.
You can't view the past through the lens of today. It's utterly ridiculous to try to.
We all know they used to hang, draw and quarter people in the middle ages then stick the head on a spike at the city gates. That was ok back then - it was entertainment.
We have evolved, our values and morals have changed but we seem to be able to understand and accept that things used to be different five or six hundred years ago. Unfortunately critical thinking doesn't seem to work for some people for far shorter periods of time.
Perspective and understanding works both ways.
The 19th November!Where is International men's day?
I don’t get it....Ooh hang on....
