The royal family is "tradition-bound" (bad) but the quadroon is celebrating her "racial identity" (good) and "heritage" (good). British, bad. African-American, good. Got it.

Hey, we’re in the 21st century. The monarchy has to get with the program.
-
What program? Black-worship?
-
Really? Is that how you feel about all people being equal?
-
I have no idea what you're talking about. You know this is a royal wedding, right? And that she's going to be titled aristocracy. Where does "equality" enter into it?
-
Where does racism play in it? You’re the only one here making this out to be a bad thing. God forbid some White people care about a Black girl, that isn’t even completely Black. And that STILL ain’t enough you? Well, what else is new.

In the face of all the hatred spewed from politicians lips, these were important words. It is also equally clear than both Meghan and Harry saw this message as much more important than their own special day. Now THAT is leadership.pic.twitter.com/GwXipYzR0c

It clearly means that all this is a PR campaign for the "royal family".

Don’t be so cynical.

Call me cynical but I reject any "royal" privilege based on birth.

Can’t he just be her pastor? What’s his skin color got to do with anything?

It's big in that he's the first African American head of the episcopal church. That's a good thing

You're acting as if the royal family was caught by surprise. It was all most certainly decided, planned and rehearsed with their full knowledge and approval.
-
Doubt it although they would most certainly have know of his reputation as the arch bishop of Canterbury is a big fan. His brother-best man would have known and his wife Kate. They're close

Even clearer is that probably 99.9% of watchers and revellers neither noticed nor cared.
-
A quick look at Twitter during the ceremony shows "99%" is a stretch. As a Black woman, I cared. And so did many other Black people watching. And there were plenty of White people expressing their dissatisfaction in "breaking from traditions".
-
Really??? How can a mixed-race woman marrying a man who will never be king mean that much to changing race relations?? OMG! I hope you're kidding.
