'Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex's story of racism, mental health struggles and the tearing apart of a family did highlight one bright spot: the strength of Black kinship bonds,' writes BrandonTensley | Analysis

Consider producer, director and screenwriter Tyler Perry's role in the at times grim fairy tale.In early 2020, not long after they announced that they were"stepping back" as senior royals, Harry and Meghan decamped to Canada. But their newfound peace was short-lived.

Salvation came from Perry, who offered the Duke and Duchess of Sussex his Los Angeles home and security for three months as the couple figured out a plan.Read MorePerry's generosity is touching in its own right. But the act is all the more moving for its cultural and political context.Many factors contributed to Harry and Meghan's decision to put distance between themselves and the palace. But the miasma of racism that hovered over Meghan was certainly one of the chief factors.

BrandonTensley Sorry for what they have gone through ,but while everyone is watching and thinking of this Iowa and Georgia are taking away voting rights.

BrandonTensley I didn't know she's black.

BrandonTensley Drama Queen Meghan and a very lost little attention seeking girl.

BrandonTensley Meghan markle is a scam and a gold digger. How does anyone reconcile the confession of wanting a celebrity boyfriend to descriptions that say she's a selfless person. She's just a selfish person. Simplicita

BrandonTensley How about waiting for the interview to be fact checked?

BrandonTensley This beautiful, talented woman walked into this with her eyes open. When you lie down with dogs, you are likely to get fleas.

BrandonTensley And this is not even the worst the firm has done - they've been actively protecting a pedophile for years! Why didn't Oprah ask Harry about ole Handy Andy!!

BrandonTensley They absolutely made the right choice.

BrandonTensley Harry is a great human of century who sacrificed the Royal for love

BrandonTensley Shame on Harry for crossing his father. So many sons have been crossed by their fathers but they don’t broadcast it to the world.

BrandonTensley Black kinship bonds? Take it you didn't broadcast the massacre that recently took place in Ethiopia. Or the Nigerian children being kidnapped in massive numbers. BLM don't matter in Africa.

BrandonTensley Did I miss the part where she was forced into this marriage?

BrandonTensley Her resume says she’s white. Is that kinship?

BrandonTensley Girl please. You're using the race card and it shows. Having experienced racism...you don't exploit it for sympathy chick!

BrandonTensley WOW!! Royals will be abolished.

Did a bird shit on her shoulder?

BrandonTensley Archie might be black on the inside like Chris Cuomo. We just don’t know for sure.

BrandonTensley I faced my fair share of racism growing up in London during the 70's & 80's but feel that Meghan is just a publicity seeker manipulating the world just like Diana did & just wants to make it big in Hollywood & become an American celeb with all the shallowness that goes with it

BrandonTensley All wealth in the British empire was built on the slave trade and stealing wealth from invaded African countries.: MeghanandHarryonOprah

BrandonTensley She’s an actress…

BrandonTensley Next do Cuomo.
