A few years ago, when news broke about the Jussie Smollett assault case, I chose to err on the side of caution and believed what he was saying, until I saw proof that made it apparent he was lying. I am not ashamed that even though I was wrong, I chose to give him the benefit of the doubt, first. That's the kind of person I want to be. Because I don't think I could live with myself, if his claims turned out to be true, and all I had for him was doubt and ridicule.
NOT THAT I THINK JUSSIE SMOLLETS IS EVER GOING TO READ MY POSTS OR CARE ABOUT MY OPINIONS.
But I have a lot of friends here, many of whom have been victims of racially motivated attacks, hate crimes and even sexual assaults. And the first thing they see, when they gather the courage to speak out against their assailants should not be, "Nah that never happened," or worse, "You're just seeking attention."
I guess that's how I feel about Meghan Markle right now. She basically just told the world that she's harbored thoughts of ending her own life because of what she's been put through by her own family, and her husband's, especially. And the response from people is dubiousness. We've seen irrefutable evidence of how the British tabloids have been dreadful to her. And please don't insult my intelligence by telling me it had nothing to do with the fact that they are racist. Yet everybody feels so easy to dismiss her claims.
Slimy lowlife degenerate Piers Morgan stormed off the set of Good Morning Britain today because he couldn't stand to be confronted about his rampant sexism and racism. He found the experience to be so traumatic that he had to remove himself from the situation. But when Harry and Meghan, the very people he constantly attacks, remove themselves from a traumatic situation, they're being ungrateful and disloyal to the Royal family?
Whether you think she's a gold digger, an attention-seeker or a fake or whatever other ridiculous assumptions you wanna make about her, I think we can agree that she's going through a very rough time. Yet most people would rather believe the gaslighting words of the gossip-mongering rags. And yes, many of you who are making these unfounded, vilifying presumptions about her still insist it not because you are racist. I bet a bunch of you didn't even wait to watch the Oprah Winfrey special - you've probably drawn your negative conclusions about this Mulatto, the minute you heard that she had the audacity to marry a white prince.
Why wouldn't she want to go, UNPAID, on Oprah to tell her side of the story?
Also, stop treating The Daily Mail like it's the paragon of journalistic integrity.
