Could someone be so kind as to give context to what Mr. Verrett is saying in the Instagram post? This passage in particular:
quote: Which media report(s) is he alluding to? The King has acknowledged that Durek Verrett has experienced racism, including from Norwegians, but the King has also publicly disagreed with Durek's assertion that most or all Norwegians have racist attitudes towards him and that most or all of the criticism of his professional activities is motivated by his race. So, depending on what exactly the journalist stated, it would not be necessarily inaccurate to state that Harald does or does not stand behind Durek's claims about racism. (quote)
He is not somebody who takes the time to really do research and relate to certain press articles. As many of us do here at the TRF. He just wanted to tell the world his frustrations and how badly he feels himself treated.
I am sure that he has experienced racism, in Norway and in the US, as almost all people of colour have. But, he is stressing it so much when it comes to his relation to Märtha. Did he ever complain about racism before he met her? As I understand from glimpses of his past, there were problems with exes, but racism was never an item. Now it is...
He just doesn't want to acknowledge that the main things brought about against him is not his colour but his shaman business and his very strange ideas and suggestions of "healing".
Martha is supporting him and some other of his clients also. He just cannot see the whole picture in Norway, or any other country in the world who would just as much don't share his shaman business and all the crap he is preaching.
"This is the first time anyone of the monarchs has spoken against racism publicly. This should be global news!"
quote: He is mistaken if he believes it is the first time King Harald or any monarch has publicly spoken against racism. I wonder if Mr. Verrett meant to write "spoken against racism against me". (quote)
And that again is typical for him, the British have spoken against racism many times, he is not aware of this. It is always about him, him and him.
(quote)While the "stepping down" announcements did reference Princess Märtha Louise's own status as a businesswoman, I think the amount of verbiage dedicated to addressing the couple's views on health and medicine does make it clear that the controversy is primarily over Durek's "shaman" business and Märtha Louise's support of it, not Märtha Louise's horse channel.

Exactly!
(quote) Isn't it possible to respect and be close to a family member, but also feel stress and upset from their actions?
