Meghan Markle opened up on how she fears speaking out amid the claims that she will be branded an “angry black woman.”
Meghan Markle Outraged After Being Perceived As An ‘Angry Black Woman’-‘Just Say What It Is’
The Duchess of Sussex comments arrived on the back end of her conversation with Issa Rae on her ‘Archetypes’ podcast on Spotify.
And given that she was a biracial member to enter the Royal Family, Meghan felt that this has impacted the way that she is perceived – being seen as the ‘Angry Black Woman’ stereotype. And by the looks of it, this has hampered Meghan somewhat.
In the episode of the podcast, Meghan said: “I will find myself cowering and tiptoeing into a room….You’re like, ‘Oh my God, stop. Stop whispering and tiptoeing around it.
“Just say what it is you need. 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.”
If those comments are taken to be true, then they are quite telling for the following reasons. First of all, Meghan has made it clear that she only viewed ambition negatively once she began dating Prince Harry.
As such, there is a possibility that her tendency to speak in a vocal manner did rub up a few people the wrong way. Secondly, Meghan did face accusations that she had bullied royal staff.
While the findings of the inquiry were not published, it still did tarnish her reputation. The fans on social media had a lot to say about the matter.
A certain subset of people felt that Meghan took things overboard. As such, this was merely an excuse for the negativity that she has received by the public. One person wrote: “She’s exhausting.”
Meghan has certainly created a name for herself, but with that, it has had the consequences of her being perceived negatively. Time will tell if that changes, but based on what we have seen so far, that is not going to be changing any time soon.
So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
