After hours of fielding racist comments on #HarryandMeghanonOprah, I will now be muting or blocking anyone sending me such missives. But I want to clarify some things, since some folks are spewing disinformation based on their racism and misogyny.

The British Royal family--particularly Harry's immediate family of the Queen, Prince Phillip, Charles and William--all had the opportunity to embrace Meghan and give her full standing and love. They could have refused to repeat the harm they inflicted on Diana. They did not.

Meghan Markle is a smart, accomplished, elegant, philanthropic activist for important causes. She is a feminist and anti-racist activist. She is an obviously warm and gentle person. She was demonized to the point of suicidal ideation while she was pregnant by Harry's family.

This is the 21st century. We should #AbolishTheMonarchy. Americans did that 244yrs ago. But irrespective of that, Harry's own father saw to it that his son had his security detail cancelled & that his daughter-in-law and grandson had no security. That is cruel AND dangerous.

That there was EVER a discussion of Archie's skin color is morally repugnant. That this played a role in Archie being denied his birthright is grotesquely racist. If you are American and supporting anyone but Meghan in this story, ask yourself why.

This is more in our search for racial justice. #MeghanMarkle is a Black American who has been demonized and attacked by one of the world's most powerful families and their bespoke press because she is a Black woman. There is only one side here: Racial rectitude. Be on it.
