Consider the legacy of colonialism and racism': Black reverend opens William and Kate's Earthshot event with awkward lecture on historic prejudice - just HOURS after Palace race scandal triggered by Prince's own godmother

A black reverend began the Prince and Princess of Wales' Earthshot launch event today by making a lecture about the 'legacy of colonialism and racism' - just hours after Buckingham Palace became embroiled in a furious race row when William's godmother was accused of making racist remarks at an event hosted by Queen Consort Camilla.

Just minutes before William and Kate took to the stage at the Boston launch event of the Prince's Earthshot Prize, Reverend Mariama White-Hammond - the city's Chief of Environment, Energy, and Open Space - gave a strong speech in which she told the crowd to 'consider the legacy of colonialism and racism', particularly when it comes to their impact on climate change.

As the Prince and Princess Wales watched on from the wings, Reverend Hammond, who founded a youth organization focused on 'teaching the history of the Civil Rights Movement', said: 'On this day, I invite us all to consider the legacy of colonialism and racism.'

She continued: 'The ways it has impacted people across the world and its connection, its deep connection to the degradation of land and our planet that we are all seeking to reverse. The stories lost, the species made extinct, but also the persistence of people in the face of oppression and the fundamental dignity of all of our relations.'

Although no mention was made about Lady Susan Hussey - former lady-in-waiting to the Queen and William's own godmother - who was accused of making racist comments to black domestic abuse campaigner Ngozi Fulani at a Buckingham Palace event on Tuesday night, few could fail to connect the controversy with Reverend White-Hammond's remarks.

Why the hell can’t you ask a black person if they are from Africa?

What kind of pos would cause harm to others over this.

When is someone going to have the courage to take someone like this and just throw them the hell out?

For starters she's not a reverend of the Gospel as the NT notes women aren't to be pastors.

Anything she says is based on a false premise.

I visited London about four years ago. Almost to a person I talked with asked if I was from America.

Didn't bug me one bit. In fact, I was rather proud of it.

Sparkles has slept her way to where she is today. She offers absolutely nothing valuable to any conversation. She's as vacuous as space.

As bad, in classic Boston fashion the pols are soaking up their time with major self-aggrandizement and tedium. First Wills looked polite but bored meeting the mayor of Boston’s fam, now he’s stuck watching the C’s with the incoming guv talking his ear off.

Or, the Royal family chose her for their move to re-establish open control over their wayward colony once their UN/globalist takedown of it has been sufficient.

I agree. There was no traumatic incident. It was an 85 year old making polite small talk. Stop giving into race baiters. Makes me sick.

They’re dying to come here too. And when they get here they’re likely to think that African Americans are spoiled brats.

Boston,once America's Cradle of Liberty,has clearly become a cesspool of Maoists,perverts and professional victims.

Having traveled rather extensively in Africa I can guarantee that there are millions of Africans who,if allowed to come to this country,would kiss the ground upon arrival and would become far better Americans than a substantial percentage of the Americans whose ancestors arrived here from Africa 300 years ago.
