Prince Harry and Meghan Markle thread

WTF! When it's so glaringly obvious even in a documentary about their, uh, story.



Wow, we've never seen her do that, can't wait!



Because the a*sholes plotted this while still being working royals would be my informed guess.



Really, really bold.



:lol:
I’m disappointed - I mean Kate is just not a convincing villain. Obv the correct choice is Will who is jealous of his brother’s incredible coolness and is also in love with M

WTF...her name isn't even Ngozi Fulani?


This to me is too far- a lot of people change their names -even if it is socio-politically motivated it’s for more complex reasons not wanting to trick people.

I definitely think she is not shy of stirring racialised controversy to get noticed but I don’t think Twitter needs to do a hatchet job on her.
That is fun! I didn't realise the parallels in these two couples. Both women stalked out their victim, and rode the coat tails of fame. Both thought they were talented in their own right, and wanted to be as much in the spotlight as their victim, sorry, husbands :lol:

I was going through the TV channels a few nights ago and saw on TMZ that Jay Leno appeared at a comedy club to perform. When he got out of the car, the press were all over him and asking their questions about his recent accident.

His wife was with him, but she stayed well back from all the flashbulbs and if you hadn't seen her get out of the car with Jay, you would never have known she was there. Very classy.

That's the route I would definitely go.....you get the very comfortable lifestyle and privacy to live your life.
Talented?

Let’s not forget Cynthia Lennon also found out John was sneaking Yoko in the back door the second she left their house & the same can be said of dear Corey’s townhouse.
If that damn fedora could only talk....


I think it would just emit one long scream before throwing itself into the sea.
 
Back in film class in University, we watched Leni Riefenstahl’s 1934 documentary-style propaganda film, "Triumph of the Will" which is when I learned of what editing and musical score can do to our emotions.

I’m not comparing the two films, obviously! but just watching that trailer, I could see the power of the image, the atmospheric sound under spoken word meant to manipulate the message and evoke an emotional response, plus the utter lack of spontaneity... so thank you, University Film class 101!
Leni R, a powerful woman/artist, inspiration for MM surely, does anyone remember …
Bryan Ferry of Roxy Music got into a boat load of trouble praising the artistic power of the artist, unfortunately he was then taken for being a Nazi sympathizer, rather than a degreed university art devotee
Funny how beautiful art can be used to promote bad messages
 
^^ “Thesaurus?? Is that some kind of dinosaur??”
— Handbag
Yes, that sounds like HCMH's style and a wise person would answer Handbag thusly, "Great question and the answer is 'no' but if you riffle through the pages, you will find TW under 'Velociraptor' and yourself under 'Traitorous or selfish or ungrateful for starters depending on your reading skills."
 
I think it has to do with how Fulani answered it IMO. Its obvious Fulani didn't want to answer it, I mean get a hint lady susan! lol. If someone asks where I'm from and I say Brooklyn and if you dig for more than that, it's your own grave!!

Agree with ^
I’ve been asked this question many times by well meaning, usually older people (some non Caucasian)
I grit my teeth and answer it, but it did bother me for decades bc it made me feel very brown skinned
and something of an outsider.

IMO Lady Susan was incredibly rude and entitled, and as such a trusted representative of rhe BRF, she should have been briefed or at least known better than to press on. She should have stepped down and then made a public apology herself, rather than relying on an official spokesperson. had she done that, I believe she would have diffused some of the negativity that followed W & K in Boston.

I’ve posted before that I do not doubt that there is racism in the BRF; I only doubt that Meghan, who identified as Caucasian for most of her life, was made to feel unwelcome or suicidal bc of race.
