Why does Mr. Markle hate African-American spiritual music?

Gosh Harry, you use to be a man, what happened?
Seems you’ve become a little girl pal.

this is an anti-slavery song written by a former slave.

being against this song is declaring yourself to be a racist

Prince Harry is a replay of Edward VIII. The British were disgusted with him and Harry is too stupid to realize he is evidently cut from the same mold.

Are the Harkles putting anyone else in mind of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor...?

The parallels are striking.

Swing Low is a spiritual. What’s next... down with “Amazing Grace?”

"Prince Harry has backed the moves to ban Swing Low, Sweet Chariot from rugby games due to its association with slavery."

Impossible, I say, 'Arry is a spineless wussie who has no back. He is incapable of "backing" anything unless his bride says he can.

who’s that? Mr. Markle? He has no power or influence any more having gone completely mad.

nothing says racism like banning the singing of a song by white people that enshrines the black authoress. Is he also willing to ban anyone not white from singing a Rolling Stones or Beatles tune? No Shakespeare for Vietnamese? No more ‘imagine’ on NYEve?

What a silly rotter.

Worse. Mrs. Simpson had the wisdom at least to maintain Edward’s royal status with the right residence and social circles of their peers. Mimi, otoh, just drags them thru the mud - repeatedly - as they make a spectacle of themselves slumming off the nouveau riche and acting just as crass.
