The Racial Ambush of The Royal Wedding




Meghan Markle (now Duchess Meghan) with the cooperation of Prince (now Duke) Harry ambushed the royal wedding with racial overtones.  While I like to see the pairing of a white man and black woman, an anomaly in the media era of black men paired with white women, I think that Bishop Curry and a black officiant at the wedding, with the black gospel songs was a hijacking. Think I am alone?  Al Sharpton praised the constitution of this wedding as the "end of white supremacy.". To anyone who has followed Sharpton that should be enough but there is more. Suppose the wedding party were a black man and white woman and the majority of officiants were white. Then let’s have some country and western music and quotes from Donald Trump (instead of MLK). Anyone who does not think Al Sharpton would soil his drawers in that scenario has not been paying attention.

I did watch some of the wedding.  I blush at Markle’s beauty and have always enjoyed her in the Hallmark movies but when I was done with the ceremony I found myself wondering what actually happened. The Queen and Prince Charles must be getting over a serious case of heartburn.

Enough said!
