robomatic BS: OPRAH with Meghan & Harry (142* d) RE: BS: OPRAH with Meghan & Harry 12 Mar 21


I once called in to a conservative radio talk show which was asking for liberals and moderates to call in as to whether a lot of the reaction against Obama was racist.

I called in and I used the term "free-floating racism" in my attempt to explain a lot of the reaction against the President and Michelle Obama that did not specifically call him out on a political or Presidential issue. The radio hosts did not allow me to make my point and were abusive.

I don't know enough of the detailed background of Harry, Meghan, the Royals, etc. But I have a sense of a kind of Kabuki theatre where most of the moves are pre-planned and understood by both sides. Why this should be is beyond me at present. One of my friends said that they always thought of Meghan as white and didn't realize there was a racial issue until the wedding.

I still think the broader issue is one of family politics, inheritance and power concerns, and the racial angle is an additional playing card held by both sides. A game where the rules are still being decided between moves. More interesting than Kabuki.
