@princesskate_GB Why would they need to give up their Royal residences when plenty of other Royals who r not full time live in them? Pls clarify this point. Perhaps they r carving out a new way of doing things which Charlotte and Louis (a Prince/Princess) who r not in the direct line, will follow
@byEmilyAndrews If the Sussexes do NOT draw a salary from the Royal Foundation then there really is no complaint. And people need to stop pretending they are offended on behalf of the Queen. People are offended for themselves because of their own personal investment in the status quo. OWN IT
@byEmilyAndrews I would consider waiting to learn more facts before firing off any more speculative tweets. It’s clear the decision has rattled you a bit, but at least pretend you are doing some evidence based research
@byEmilyAndrews How do you know this? And if they are requested by the Foreign Office to go on tour, surely the government should pay. Basically they are stepping down to be like the York ladies but have the drive to keep working for charity and their patronages. struggling to see the issue
@byEmilyAndrews What is wrong with a royal foundation receiving donations which fund it’s expenses? That’s the norm. How do you know the DDoS will draw a salary from the foundation? They likely won’t, why would they need it?
@RockytheDolly @b_shaneika @BalogunLisa@Afrosheik@mfredericks1x @QueenSatta @ReignOfApril Can u say u r white if ur other half is white? Be honest with that answer. Its hard to go from an elevated position in the black community to bottom of the pecking order in the white one. Hence the emotional backlash when black people practice the same exclusivity as other races
@RockytheDolly @b_shaneika @BalogunLisa@Afrosheik@mfredericks1x @QueenSatta @ReignOfApril Except you are making the distinction based on your social media handles. You are highlighting you are mixed and biracial which is absolutely fine to do as biracial is not a dirty word at all 😀
@spokentruths5@ninkiminjaj12@SportsLemonade@Afrosheik@mfredericks1x @QueenSatta @ReignOfApril Black people afraid to “let go” of mixed people and relinquish their vicarious proximity to whiteness...Mixed people holding on for dear life to their status as “royalty” in the black community...The one drop rule is a mess and has created so much confusion in America
@BalogunLisa@Afrosheik@mfredericks1x @QueenSatta @ReignOfApril There r multiple studies on how white ppl DO make the distinction. They’ve made the distinction for 100s of years. Why pretend this isn’t so? If you call a biracial person black, but not white, then you are responsible for upholding the racist lie of white “purity”. Do better.
@autumnnashlin@Afrosheik@mfredericks1x @QueenSatta @ReignOfApril Slash is biracial. The one drop rule is anti-black. He is black ONLY if u believe whiteness as an identity should be protected at all costs. If u r afraid stop living vicariously through biracial/mixed people because of their proximity to whiteness, pls do some internal work.
@BernardineEvari@BBC@TheBookerPrizes *biracial woman. Let’s not erase actual monoracial black women with the anti-black one drop rule that protects whiteness and white spaces at all costs. Congratulations on the win 🥳
@MunroeBergdorf Agree, her treatment is horrendous. MM is *biracial* (how she describes herself and it is what she actually IS). We can empathise and call out the disgusting racist treatment w/o further entrenching the #onedroprule - which is anti-black & designed to protect whiteness.
@jameelajamil@Kristinsplash Luv u r taking a stand @jameelajamil - but the Jim Crow racist one drop rule is not it. HRH is biracial. black AND white. To refer to her as black is wrong unless u r inadvertently reinforcing that whiteness must remain ‘pure’. I know its not ur intention so pls read up on this.
@jameelajamil Minor correction: it’s in part because of her *proximity* to blackness. She is biracial. Please do not “one drop rule” her. The one drop rule is racist. Also note the press/commentators losing their minds are right wingers using the Duchess to divide and drive up their profits.
