It makes no sense at all to say something like that where every one can find out about it. What is the upside?
I thought it was interesting how her apology made no mention of the woman she actually used this language towards. Not that Meghan would need her apology, but it does shine quite a light on her sincerety, doesn’t it?A racist being a racist. She not sorry for what she said. She meant every word. She only sorry she was exposed.
This just the beginning. People really in their feels about Meghan and despite the denials the root of a lot of it is pretty obvious.
The texts where clearly given to the DM by the other person in the conversation who was appalled. The moment she called her a "racist" should have been a clue for that woman to check herself instead she double downed. That is why her apology was a joke. We can literally read you say "so what?"
But I do think exposing it was good. It should be. A lot of people think Meghan doesn't experiences this stuff because she is a lighter skinned woman. I have heard many say "she not black" or whatever. It is a reminder to many that she is still seen as less because of her ethnicity and that their future children will be thought the same way, sadly.
Meghan experiences it from both sides of the 'aisle' ...she's rec'd racist/degrading comments from blacks as well because she's not dark enough, the way she does her hair etc. IIRC she's talked about it before.

Ok, just trying to get some clarification.
Lipstick Alley, The Grapevine a YouTube discussion show with Black millenials talked about Meghan, think pieces by Gal-Dem magazine and Media Diversified.
There are a number of places where Black folk have expressed their feelings on Meghan's blackness either positively or negatively.
I think it's fine that she identifies as biracial--it's not like she's saying she not black, because she's not hiding her mother and she owns her African heritage.
In fairness it is the only thing she should identify as
If she called herself black, would she not be denying her father? Is that anymore right? She has two parents, one is black and one is white. That is part of who she is. By identifying as either white or black she would be denying one half of herself. I don't see why people think her denying her father's heritage is not as bad.
Not really--multiracial people with African ancestry have traditionally identified as black, because that is how our culture has identified them. I know plenty of multiracial people who identify as black for that reason, without denying the non-black parent.
