Go away, Me-Again! She simultaneously has copious amounts of self-aggrandizement and self-loathing victimhood. And all that seems apparent in a single interview. She can take those glass slippers of hers and shove them up her... attic, which I am sure has great storage capacity.
If anyone, either in the media or commenting on the media, is using the N-word in relation to her and her family, they absolutely should not do so because that is disgusting. No justification at all for that.
But Meghan goes on to make these comments:
“He looked at me, and he’s just like light. He said, ‘I just need you to know: When you married into this family, we rejoiced in the streets the same we did when Mandela was freed from prison,'” she claimed.
Wowee! That is quite the brag she has for herself there. She compared herself marrying a British royal family member to NELSON Freaking MANDELA in any context at all! She has the gall to tell the public that they need to check their privilege, while she is completely oblivious to checking her own. For someone to compare themselves, in full seriousness, to iconic and successful civil rights activists; American, South African, Indian, or from wherever; they have to have a huge dollop of arrogance and very little self-awareness, especially when they (the self-aggrandizers) have not done nearly as much or had nearly the impact that the civil rights activists did.
Martin Luther King Jr. said, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." What MLK Jr. did not say was, "Yep. I totally got this whole desegregation and anti-racism schtick. People will start comparing me to Jackie Robinson pretty soon. Hell, I bet I can even one-up him on a few things!"
The only thing she has in common with Nelson Mandela is that her last name starts with the letters M and A. What Markle has done in reality is marry Prince Harry. Yet she has christened herself as Princess Harriet Tubman, despite the fact that she is well-publicized for essentially deciding that being a literal real-life princess is not good enough. (I know that her situation is more complex than that, and that such a sentence is not meant as a "final world" or "ultimate judgement"... but the optics sure look awful, don't they?)
But hey, she is called Duchess on the magazine cover, because it is consistent with her branding, and still wants herself and her public image to benefit as much as possible from her royal connections, despite the catfighting foofaraw that seems to be a pillar of so much of her personal and family life.
The above gif, metaphorically, features Me-Again as a cat fighting another cat from either the royal family or her own family, both groups of whom she is largely estranged from. I cannot tell which cat is which. Then we have the world media, which in this case comes in the form of a dog, asking, "Hey, what's going on over here? How can I make this a good, publishable story?"
To conclude, I must ask the good people who read and/or post on Dreamin' Demon:
Who the hell gave Meghan Markle a microphone, and how guilty is their conscience for having done such a thing?
Maybe Harry was right about the First Amendment being "bonkers". Because he and Meghan sure pump themselves to the world as more important than they are, and abuse the living hell out of the First Amendment to do so. And the First Amendment totally lets them do that... and technically lets trolls use the N-word, too, as unfortunate as that is... which makes me think that the First Amendment is the most pushover of all the amendments, and I hope it tries to stand up for itself at some point.
In other words, the First Amendment is basically the closest thing the Bill of Rights has to a James Taylor song.
