Meghan Markle Called Out on Social Media After Latest Podcast Revelations: 'Why Lie Again?'
Meghan Markle has surprised everyone with the contents of the latest episode of her podcast "Archetypes."
The Duchess of Sussex disclosed information about her ancestors. She deconstructed the stereotype of the "Angry Black Woman" in a thought-provoking conversation with actor and writer Issa Rae, writer Ziwe Fumudoh, and lecturer Emily Bernards.
Meghan said in the show that she did a genealogy test, which revealed that she is 43% Nigerian.
"Are you serious? This is huge. Igbo, Yoruba, do we know?" Ziwe excitedly asked, desperate to learn more about the former "Suits" star's findings.
Ziwe said that the news was "huge for the community."
She earlier stated that she is multiracial (her mother is African-American and her father is Caucasian), but she did not go into detail about her ancestors.
Meghan is well-known for battling bigotry and discrimination, but this is the first time she has spoken publicly about her ancestors.
She also called out the "angry Black woman" nonsense and stated that there is a difference between being "difficult" and being "clear" on the show.
The Duchess, who has been accused of bullying and demanding conduct by former palace workers, has now admitted to being "particular," but has added that individuals should not be condemned for being "demanding" if they merely expressed what they required.
The mom-of-two told Issa, "You're allowed to set a boundary, you're allowed to be clear. It does not make you demanding, it does not make you difficult. It makes you clear."
People on social media, however, have had different reactions to Meghan Markle's latest podcast disclosures.
One person said on Twitter that nobody ever labeled Prince Harry's wife as an angry Black woman since "she is not black."
Instead, "We labeled her a #bully & a hypocrite which is a very different thing. She is using racial #stereotypes to gaslight others. Ms #Misinformation, why lie again, 43% nigerian lol, 28% max."
They quipped, "We know what Meghan Markle says and what is the objective truth are two completely different things."
A third person said, "She is not generally considered a black person by us in UK. A mixed race person, but we have no negative feelings about any of it. Poor Nigeria...having to own even 1% of her."
A fourth person tweeted, "once again she is using these podcasts to address everything that has ever been said about her in the press & prove them to be untrue or misrepresented......it was never her, it was everyone else they were all wrong. It's how she justifies everything in her head, fascinating to see."
