Is a Hereditary Monarchy Acceptable If It's Non-White?
I assume so, judging by all the love for Black Panther and Bridgerton, and all the insistance that Harry and Meghan's kids should be referred to by royal titles (despite the fact that many of the same people have derided the entire concept of the monarchy/called for the monarchy to be abolished).
FWIW, I don't personally care. A Black King or Queen means no difference to me than a white one, and I'm not one of those white racists who feels 'threatened' by a Black monarch, although sadly, I do suspect that were the UK to be ruled by a Black monarch (and the expression "One you go Black, you don't go back" arguably applies here, especially if one goes by the 'one drop rule'; that said, it's also argued that Princess Charlotte, one of the RF's ancestors is Black, so maybe the *present* RF is already 'Black' π€·ββοΈ), there would still be people who'd argue that Britain was 'systemically racist' (which I don't quite understand; if a country is permanently ruled by a Black monarch, and in other words the power is concentrated in the hands of Black people, how can it still be racist to Black people, anyone?)
Before anyone mendaciously accuses me of 'racism', I don't personally care whether the country is ruled by a Black person or a white person, just as long as whoever is in charge rules in good faith. However, I am curious about those *white* Charles Manson types who think a monarchy is 'okay' if it's headed by a Black queen or king. I'm trying to understand the logic, unless, as I say, they're one of those weird Charlie Manson people (do I *really* all need to remind you all what Charles Manson's grand masterplan was?) I'd happily be permanently led by Black people and/or women for the rest of my life, because, like I say, I'm no racist or misogynist. The *only* thing that bothers me, as someone with a *mental illness* (i.e. a member of a marginalised and oppressed community...bear that in mind *before* you answer...), is a lack of consistency and rationality. I CAN'T STAND intellectual dishonesty, whether it emanates from the left or the right, and if I were to introduce just *one* law, it would be a law banning hypocrisy, lies and intellectual dishonesty. People should serve serious jail time for the latter.
