Really great that you covered the origins of the slave trade. Not covered in high school history that’s for sure. Even college unless quite specialized. We live in the Legacy of this oppression. Settler colonialism is truly an apocalypse -to paraphrase Dr. Horne. The more light in this area the more hope of change now. Thank you again Abdul!

It's a history we should spend YEARS in grade school covering--because it stains everything about our moment today.

I’m so sorry Meghan and Harry are going through all of this. It’s not the least bit surprising, but still disturbing.

Shock, surprise and sorrow followed by a promise to address the issue of racism privately as a family is the most we will get in response. Now the goal will be to deal with with the PR aspects until the public reaction settles down. There is a reason why the governing entity is called the FIRM! Let’s hope there are enough enlightened and compassionate Americans to open their arms and hearts to Megan, Harry and particularly to their beautiful son, Archie.
