Black Activist Schools Piers Morgan For Dismissing Meghan Markle's Racism Claims In Tense Interview

Black Activist Schools Piers Morgan For Dismissing Meghan Markle's Racism Claims In Tense Interview
Good Morning Britain

Just over a year after Duchess Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shocked the world by announcing their plans to give up their royal titles—effectively distancing themselves from life in England's royal family—the couple sat down with Oprah Winfrey to discuss the finer details of that big decision.

In the two-hour long bombshell interview, Markle, who identifies as mixed-race, shared she was the victim of racist treatment from the crown.


Specifically, Markle explained the Queen and company had "concerns and conversations" about Markle's son, Archie, who was still in utero at the time.

The monarchy apparently felt Archie's skin color could be a problem, and solidified their non-inclusive attitude by denying Archie the title of Prince and even refusing to grant the boy the highest level of security available, which the children of Prince William and Kate Middleton received without question.

Not surprisingly, the big interview became the object of analysis and raging debate across Britain and beyond.

And when Good Morning Britain's Piers Morgan sat down to discuss the new developments with Black activist Dr. Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, things became heated.

Morgan accused Markle and Harry of making the "most incendiary charge I've seen in my career," and "spray gunning [Harry's] family on global television."

Dr. Mos-Shogbamimu, after fending off interruptions from Morgan, proceeded with a thorough schooling.

"Listen, you might learn something. The royal family is an institution rooted in colonialism, White supremacy and racism. The legacy is right there."
"So you're now surprised that a comment would have been made by several members of the royal family about how dark Archie's skin is."

When Morgan tried to interject again, Dr. Mos-Shogbamimu held firm.

"Let me finish."
"You're more outraged that Harry and Meghan had the audacity to speak their truth than you should be at the actual outrage of racism."

Morgan then fired back he felt Dr. Mos-Shogbamimu's comments about the Queen were disgusting.

Her response was succinct and clear:

"You are disgusting!"

See the entire exchange in the videos below.


People who saw the exchange were full of their own commentary.





Keep your eyes peeled for plenty of other heated debates in the wake of Harry and Meghan's interview, which undoubtedly has shed light on a dynamic at the heart of the monarchy and colonialism that needs to be discussed.

CNN Just Used A Hilarious Poll To Show Just How Unpopular Trump's Ballroom Is—And We're Cackling

After President Donald Trump claimed that his new White House ballroom is "very popular" with the American public, CNN shared a hilariously shady poll that gets to the truth of the matter.

Last year, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.

It's well-known across the internet that it takes forever for men to use the restroom. For dads especially, in the time it takes them to poop, when they return to the house, their kids will have aged seven years, and their baby will have learned to walk.

These are jokes, of course, but it's an internet consensus that men spend a really long time on the porcelain throne.

In early 2024, 49-year-old Antonia Eastwood married Ashley Monk after about five months of dating. During the ceremony, Antonia tripped while walking down the aisle.

Antonia and Ashley were both suspicious that she did not trip accidentally and that Ashley's sister, Gemma, actually tripped her. Gemma and Antonia were not close, and the couple also believed that Gemma might be jealous that they were marrying after five months, though she'd been with her childhood sweetheart for 20 years without tying the knot.
