Racist Jewellery

Twitter and the usual PC suspects offended and outraged by a brooch!!!
Is this not getting a tad stupid, maybe just ban anything black or depicts someone who is, paintings & sculptures for starters?

Well it IS a bit racist isn't It? Meet the first mixed race girl in the royal family and have the brooch of a slave on your collar. "Hello bwana, 200 years ago we would have have you flogged for this"

I think she knew exactly what she was doing, making a statement. I suppose the Queen could have a black great grandchild soon and some are not comfortable with that. Nothing wrong with it of course , were all the same colour underneath.

There's quite a lot of evidence that Europe was at least partially repopulated from Africa after the last ice-age: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_admixture_in_Europe
Including sub-Saharan Africa.
Upshot - we've all got a touch of the "tar-brush", so an extra touch is nothing to get worked up about.

If the cameo brooch had depicted a white person on it, would it still be considered racist?....I doubt it.

It’s a bit fucking weird wearing it to meet a black girl.

This though is really a non story, a stupid royal and her brooch, FFS
Any random opinion is news know? Someone on Twitter decides something offends them and that feeling is validated by other social media misfits, and the media pick up on it and then milk it for the clicks and ad revenue (or whatever) Who the fuck cares?
Not to mention the ridiculous position the media are putting Meghan Markle in, it seems her role is ‘biracial American’, and anything remotely related to that will be created into headlines just as Kate Middleton was the ‘commoner’.
The press really are a pack of cunts

That may well be the case, but it was't all accomplished by passengers on the first boat out of Cairo.
As the more swarthy tribes moved north, fatalities would have been fairly high until natural selection found the right balance for offspring to survive in colder climes, less exposed to the ultra-violet radiation their ancestors developed a protection against..

She should have just worn her Nazi Dad’s medals from the SS instead.
I’m sure Harry’s bird will look on the positive side .... she has been told this family she is marrying into is a bit conservative and now she finds out they have a Princess called MICHAEL

The whole episode is somewhat symptomatic of a few people's "outrage" altering our whole discourse. Even if you look in Wikipedia (yes, I know) the only reference to the "racism" of "Blackamoor" figures appears with this news story.
It's baffling. Especially as this somewhat odd, nothing else, brooch depicts the "moor" as a queen. The Telegraph, of all papers, has been reporting the depictions are "now considered racist" Since, it seems, this story made the news. Not really before. I await the shutting down of all pubs called The Saracen's Head.

Couldn’t give a flying one obviously. But there is no way she didn’t do that on purpose.

Can actually perfectly appreciate the outrage around this. If she did it unintentionally then she's obviously a bit cut-off and someone should have said something. If she did it intentionally then it was a really cuntish thing to do, even if it is just a case of bitchy in-law behaviour. Either way it's embarrassing as fuck, not least cos it gives all the wrong people all sorts of ammo.

It just seems a bit odd
Oh I am off to a royal occasion meeting the new Princess to be who is a bit dusky ... so I will wear my GOLLIWOG badge
Believe she once told some black people who were a bit noisy at a New York restaurant to go back to the colonies.
Which is a bit ill advised you’d say.
I guess that’s what happens when you put German people in some nonsensical position called ‘Princess’.

I love the idea that people get outraged by anything now days. Its our cognitive dissonance in overdrive.
Take the swastika. Its a symbol that's been used by all kinds of organisations through history. My Dad had a swastika badge and he told me it was his socialist badge from the 1930s. Its also all over India where its a religious symbol meaning good well!
Calm down. Its just a story to sell advertising.
