I hate sellouts with a passion, but I try to remember something I once read:

“Every minority and every people has its share of opportunists, profiteers, freeloaders and escapists. The hammer blows of discrimination, poverty and segregation must warp and corrupt some. No one can pretend that because a people may be oppressed, every individual member is virtuous and worthy. The real issue is whether in the great mass the dominant characteristics are decency, honor and courage.”

—Martin Luther King Jr., Why We Can't Wait, 1968

Anyway, this may be old news for some of us, but definitely not for all of us. Salute to all of the Black and Brown people with morals and heart, who don’t sellout, even though the overwhelming majority of us could easily get rich quick (if we were sellouts). 🫡

It looks like Meghan may be test-driving yet another narrative to handle the criticism about her failure to royal: it's all Harry's fault.

This started last week when reporters and journalists were speculating whether the Sussexes, had they stayed in, would have been able to help KP squash all the noise about Kate's condition and help BP squash the nosie about the royal family's bench strength by stepping up royal work. Hugo Vickers more or less said "no, because the Sussexes are only in it for themselves. Meghan wouldn't step up unless she personally benefited. She would have seen nothing in it for herself and would refuse to work."

So cue Esther Krakue, who appeared on Sky News Australia today. She agrees with Vickers that the Sussexes wouldn't have stepped up, but says it's because of Harry. Not Meghan. And the way she lays the blame squarely on Harry, she plays to both sides of the royal fence:

For the squaddies, she says "it's Harry's fault Meghan was a terrible royal because he made her start working before she was ready and willing."

For the rest of us, she says "Meghan lacked the temperament to be a proper royal because she wanted to be in charge and it's Harry's fault because he should have prepared her better."

That she speaks to both sides is making it a little harder to see whether this is Meghan setting up for a divorce narrative or whether this is an olive branch PR.

A quick disclaimer. I've no idea where Krakue falls in the royal reporting spectrum (is she a Sussex mouthpiece? Is she a straight-shooting royalist? Or does she go where the paycheck is?)

For me, I come down on "well, this feels like pre-emptive divorce narrative." Mainly because Meghan has been laying groundwork since 2017 for a domestic violence-based divorce narrative and "Harry forced Meghan to work" not only plays into that, it also implies he threatened Meghan.

Anyway. Here's the story.

And by the way, did you know this is the 11th time Meghan has tried to rewrite the story of her royal career? Let's review them!

#1. While they were dating/pre-engaged (2016 - late 2017): I’ll be the bestest duchess to duchess, better than Kate.

#2. While they were engaged (late 2017 - mid-2018): I’m going to hit the ground running and everyone will be so impressed The Queen will make me her heir.

#3. While “in” for 72 days (mid-2018 - late 2019): I’m only supporting my preferred charities and best friends, how dare you *coat flick*

#4. While Megxiting (late 2019 - March 2020): I don’t need the royals to do good work. They’re old-fashioned anyway. Watch me hit the ground running and being the bestest duchess to duchess.

#5. During the pandemic (March 2020 - March 2021): I’m not bound by the code of ethics the royals are so I can volunteer and support my most passionate causes, politics and political issues.

#6. While sobbing to Oprah (March 2020 - late 2021): I can’t do anything because Waity Katie gets all the help, attention, and money. I’m just a young black mother.

Next, Meghan loses control of the narrative as everyone shows up for the BRF after the Oprah interview, and even more so after Philip passes away. This collective effort establishes the narrative of Meghan's royal career as actually scornful "I should be getting paid for this" contempt (as summed up by Bower in 2021's Revenge). Meghan tries some things to backtrack over this but she just digs herself in deeper and deeper, leading to three competing narratives over Meghan's work--

a) “No one from the palace helped us, we had to do it all on our own because William and Kate were jealous and refused to let anyone help us.” (Sussexes)

b) “It’s your own fault. Harry should have better prepared you for the realities of royal life and actually, HERE ARE THE RECEIPTS, WE DID TRY TO HELP but you wanted your LA teams to do it instead.” (BRF and Royal Rota)

c) “She never wanted to work, she just wanted the fame and fortune, come on you people, it's so [bleeping] obvious." (The public and most royal watchers)

This lasts until the end of 2021 when Sunshine Sachs/Netflix/Spotify finally dig Meghan out through a few rounds of Olive Branch PR and Jubilee and Hollywood manifestations, leading to...

#8. While finally launching her Megxit career (end of 2021 to September 2022, The Queen’s passing): I’m finally doing the work I was promised I could do by the royal family. Look at what you could've had.

#9. After The Queen’s passing (October 2022 to end of 2022): I just wanted to work but they wouldn't let me do anything because they're jealous.

#10. During the Charles era (2023): I couldn’t do anything because the royals are racist.

And now, #11. Royal Health Crisis (January 2024): I never wanted to be a working royal, Harry made me and he didn’t prepare me appropriately.

Investigation has been launched into claims that the Daily Mail engaged in Blackface ghost-writing by attaching names of Black commentators to racist articles they had not written.

The probe by Byline Investigates and Expose News follows the revelation by whistleblower Dominique Samuels that she had consented to a case of ghost-writing and rejected another request from Daily Mail staff. Regular columnist Nana Akua, who is also a GB News presenter, blocked a Twitter/X user who asked whether any of her articles had been ghost-written for her. Esther Krakue, a Talk TV presenter, has also been asked the question but is yet to respond.

The Daily Mail is being accused of what is labeled by many people as "racism laundering". A term used to describe the phenomenon where people of oppressed groups are used in media, mainly right wing and conservative, to minimize, apologize or promote harmful and bigoted narratives and beliefs, and therefore validating to the average person or even full on bigot that they don't have anything to be ashamed of when it comes to whatever regressive opinion they have.

Right wing pundit Dominique Samuels revealed that many articles that had her as a author weren't actually written by her, but actually already had been written by, as of yet, unknown sources who have enough self awareness to know what they are saying borders on racism so they just pay whatever minority necessary to have a garbage opinion paraded around by "one of the good ones".

Dominique's main motive for her whistle blowing seems to be in retaliation to or at least examplified by what can be called a seasonal "outrage fest", as she calls it, by media against the Notting Hill Carnival, a festival meant to celebrate Caribbean heritage which began as a celebration of the emancipation of black slaves, Samuels claiming she was asked to be the face of a article she claims "verged on racist" for last year on 2022.

After being asked, Dominique also exposes that her image was used in one of the (possibly) hundreds of article attacking Meghan Markle, further clarifying that her reasoning for accepting these bizarre offers was that in general most guest columns are already ghost written, however, after having done this many times for the Daily Mail, Samuels claims once again she felt that the coverage of the Carnival by the Mail was the last straw for her.

Right wing media pays minorities to be tokens and Uncle Tom's to validate and save face for bigotry?!?

"The empty platitudes mouthed by Harry and Meghan as they accepted an award for ‘heroically’ standing up to alleged racism in the Royal Family counted for nothing, benefited nobody but the Sussexes, and will do nothing but damage to the causes they espouse."

'Not the brightest man out there': Prince Harry's 'lack of judgement' highlighted 

Writer and broadcaster Esther Krakue says Prince Harry has shown he’s “not the brightest man out there” following Sasha Walpole revealing herself as the older woman he lost his virginity to. “I do think, again, this is one of the uncomfortable fallouts of his tell-all book,” Ms Krakue told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “It’s all very unsavory stuff. “And it just goes to show the lack of judgment on the Duke of Sussex’s part, thinking that something like this wouldn’t come out, that he wouldn’t actually be implicating people no matter how skillfully he tried to keep it under wraps.”

Who knew??? 😂

Prince Harry called a "twat" and "not the brightest man" after his virginity reveal

Prince Harry continues to polarize opinion: it seems now that people either love him or hate him. For political commentator Esther Krakue, it’s definitely the latter. Krakue, who over the past few months has made her disapproval of Harry’s behavior known more than once, recently shared her opinion on the prince after it was revealed who he lost his virginity to, and the circumstances in which it…
